Default new rider and a not so new f4i

Hey there guys!
My names Cory, been riding for a total of one week as of last monday and so far this is the funnest thing I have ever done haha.
Came from a 500hp vortech supercharged s197 mustang. Sold it to eleminate my debt and get something a little more pratical on gas for a daily driver. Took the msf course and went out on bought a 01 f4i the next day (I know, little much for a first bike, but I'm handling it well so far). Picked it up with 26k on the odometer, has a salvage title due to being dropped a few years ago while it was idling so the fairings all need to be replaced. Other than that she runs like a champ!
Mods are full devil exhaust, hi/low hids, and a taillight mod that I can't remember the name of lol.

Anyways glad to be here and look foward to learning new things. If anyone has any tips on maintence I'd be very gratful!

Welcome to the forum Cory, and riding!

Life looks different through a visor, and it's a lot more fun too. Congrats on making the leap to the 2 wheeled side of things...

Where are you located?

Me too. Good to see another local rider on here. Let me know if you need any help with it.

I figured you were from Cali, after seeing the plate on the car....

Welcome to the CBR Forum Cory,

Nice looking ride and I hope you enjoy the jump from 4 to TWO wheels. It is a different world with many, many joys to be had.

Cheers, SB
