Nah... we don't harass... Not until we know you can take it

Wazzup? Couple times on a friends 600rr eh? Well since you still call him friend its safe to assume you didn't drop it While you're waiting for next week to come, check out the Motorcycle Safety Foundation to find the BRC. Get you trained up a bit so you don't drop your own bike.

Got gear? It'll do the body good

nope never dropped a bike. also use to ride with my neighbor on the back of his ninja zx14 everyday to work in the summer. that thing is so big it'd scare the sh*t outta me.

yeah i've been reading all the MSF information and checking up on everything i need to know to be safe. Gear is gonna come when i sell my jeep. looking at an arai helmet with alpinestar jacket. then some really good gloves (not picked out yet).

Nice... Waiting on my F4i myself. Hopefully in the next week or so. MSF offers great courses. Only thing is by now they're usually booked into the middle of summer.

Might wanna add boots to that list too

ouch. yeah i gotta get on the courses and signing up. yeah boots will eventually come. i heard its a pain riding a long time w/o boots. i've got a couple good pairs of work boots that should do the job for a while. not sure if they'll be as good as the "official riding boots"

Hey Matt, welcome to CBRF!! You've found yourself a really pretty F4i. Congrats and thank you for not making us twist your arm to post up a pic of her.

I'll spare you my usual harassment and simply tell you to enjoy the forums.
