Talking New rider :-)

Just recently started riding, thanks to my boyfriend. He has an 03 zx12r, and I found riding with him to be quite fun, so I decided to grow a (small) pair and get my own bike. I decided on an 03 F4i 600 to get my feet wet with. Had to lower it 4" so now I can actually reach the ground without tipping! Yay!!

Welcome to the forum!

Congrats on getting your own bike! We have more than a few ladies around here that enjoy having their own bikes. Make sure to ride at your own pace. Don't try to keep up with those that have a lot more experience than you do. Most of all... have fun!

Get some pics up and show it off.

Thanks everyone. Not looking to do anything dumb that's for sure. After all at 28 I tend to find myself having more common sense for the most part. Let me see if I can upload a few pictures of the bike so far. Right now its pretty basic looking with the silver/red scheme, just lowered 4". Looking at doing a satin black with pink reflective stars. Doubtful on doing much else for quite some time, but I atleast have to make it my own.

Good on you Tattoodled......you go girl!

I'm also one of your brigade.....a female who has just started riding.

Yep, riding is a whole lot of fun, albeit bl**dy scary at times! Some great advice from the other members, good to go at your own pace (and no-one else's!) and get to know your bike and your own capabilities!

Stay safe and enjoy your riding!

Cheers,
Robster
