Default New rider in Jacksonville, FL

Hey everybody! My name is Sarah. The day before yesterday I bought a 2003 CBR600RR(the mistress) with a little <10K miles. I got my license in December and finally got some money together to get a bike! I am really excited to be a part of this forum and learn more about my bike and how to ride it better.
A little about myself: I am an Aviation major at Jacksonville University. Along with my bike, I also own a 1992 300zx non turbo 5spd(the girlfriend, lol). I love getting my hands dirty working on my car, and I am excited to learn the inner workings of my bike as well.
Now on to the pics:

CJ, i know a guy named Dustin who just opened a shop down by the beaches off Atlantic Blvd. called Next12 Performance. He is still setting up shop and its a bit in disarray, but he is selling parts almost at cost. He got me bridgestone Battleaxes for $316. I dont know how that compares to other shops, but thats the only place i know of, other than the dealership in Arlington.. you can PM me for more of Dustin's info if you'd like

Welcome to the forum zipties. You've certainly made an excellent choice for a bike. It's a lot of bike for a first bike, so be careful. My wife always likes to see new female riders out there.
