Hey, just found this forum through a friend. From the Poconos area, riding a 96 900RR. Just wanted to drop by and say hi.

Hey, whats up? I like the riding up here, nice views and some nice twists and turns to carve out. How is the riding down there? Can't imagine to much fun in Philly. Where do you ride?

By the way, are you a member at another fireblade forum? Your screen name seems familiar for some reason.

OK, here you go. This pic is a bit old, from a few months ago. It needs new plastics, (eventually) and I need to get the yellow rear tire powder coated to match the front. Also the green zip ties have been replaced with black ones now. The bike was stunted prior to me purchasing it so there is a lot of cracked or broken plastics. Other than that, it needs to be jetted. The new exhaust was put on and cut short. Kind of rough in the low RPM ranges. After 3500 rpm's it smooths out for me.

It now has mirrors and in the process of getting new tires on it. The bike sat for a year and a half, almost 2 years before I bought it. The front was a little dry rotted and the rear was almost a slick.

It's my first bike and it is also a work in progress.

nice looking bike. I need to make a trip either up to PA or out to skyline drive in Virginia or something.

Not too many really great roads here in the DC area.
