My name is Mike and I live in the Sacramento area... Been a lurker for quite some time and decided to try and change that! Im 22 years old and have been riding on dirt since 2nd grade or so (grew up in Utah) and have been riding on the street since the age of 18. My first bike was a SV650S and I got into a pretty bad accident shortly after I purchased it where a Ford super duty construction truck did an illegal U-turn and ran me over. After that I took a break from riding for a year because I got pretty messed up, but I missed riding too much so I got back into it. I purchased a yellow 1999 F4 with 2800 miles off of my friend's dad in may of 2006 (he bought it new in 99 and never rode it) and it now has 5500 miles on it. I absolutely love this bike and I am now a Honda man for life! Two months after I purchased it I installed a Jardine slip-on and I just recently added a 8000k HID kit and went with a -1, +3 520 conversion. Next summer I am looking to sell the F4 and get a blue and yellow 1000RR.


Here is the bike shortly after I got it.


Here is the most recent picture of the bike (right after I installed the headlight)

That sounds bad.

Good to hear you are up and about and riding again, I like the Sv650, There is something about that bike that works for me, not sure what it is, never rode one.

Anyway, the F4 looks great, welcome to the site.

Awsome looking pictures and +1 on hearing that you turned out okay and got back on the bike. Careful with those 1K's, they're a whole new demon! Welcome to the site!
