Welcome to the forum Eddy.
Ask all the questions you want. There are lots of helpful and knowledgeable members here to help you. We all started riding sometime ago and had all the same questions you have. Have a good read around and ask away....

 

Welcome to CBRF Eddy!

Hope your purchase goes well & you get a great bike.

As for 'tips'... The best tip I can give you is to take the MSF Course...Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The course will teach you basic riding techniques & safety. Then, build upon those basics to become a good responsible rider. Plus, the course counts for both the written & riding DMV tests in my states. Also gets you a discount on your insurance as well.

Glad you found us. Settle in & enjoy the forum.

 

Welcome aboard! I haven't seen much local activity on this site for group rides in the area, but have met and ridden with a bunch of folks that have VFR's. We've done several rides up in the foothills and had a blast. (I even enjoyed the ride that I crashed on... Not a bad crash, but now my VFR800 has a few scars )

 

Welcome Eddy,I am a few miles south of you.Every now and then ride with a group from Sac.area.Do alot of track days as well.I'm always willing to help where I can.

 

Welcome to the CBR Forum Eduardo.

The CBR600 is a beautiful bike and I wish you well with your owneship.

There is a very strong, knowledgable and resourceful 600 crew on the forum, so post any questions you have and I'm sure they will be answered.
