Smile Old Newbie

Hi, ladies and gents of the CBR forum.
Been a long time rider of just about everything that goes!
Started out [ roadwise, that is!] in '77 with a cb single 100.
Went all over the place on that little beast.
After the little girl passed, I thought that I'd like something a bit faster....
so I went to an RX 125 Yam.
Still not fast enough, despite a few? mods. Tried a CB350 four for a year or2, then went the 500 four.
Too many years, miles whatever have passed since then, but I recently was given the use of an F4i 600, and now the bug is back, dammit!
Been working on it slowly, both for me and it's owner - my adopted daughter.
Somethin' about common ground comes to mind, but I still got more fines than her.
Got the bike a new skin and some other fancy bits, but it's going to take a bit of time to get it together.
She runs like a dream, and goes, compared to my old rides. .woohoo!
Sorry, I bet that sounds a bit weird coming from an older guy.
So I guess it's something that you never get tired of.
Pity the roads here in Vic are such poor examples of what they should be, it's a real pain.
Well, I guess that sorta covers for an intro, and hopefully gives you all an insight into my riding history.
This sounds like the right sort of place for me.{ I am NUTS. btw!} lol!

Welcome to CBRF! Its always nice to see a family project come along, I'm glad your adopted daughter and you have the riding bug. This is a great forum for the F4i, tons of 'em on here

Thanks for the welcome , guys!
Really just getting her back together - with a few minor mods - at the mo.
Having to wait on the weather to spray paint is a pain, seeing as how I only have 1 colour coat and the clears to go.
Working on the LED layout, in the meantime, so I guess it's ok.
We been looking at putting together an undertail, but it seems there are some issues with the indicator positions [ or was it wiring? ]on the aftermarket ones that have us stumped.
We'll eventually get her sorted.{electrically, that is!}.
On the up side, we got her new skin, this week. Yay.

Thanx all.
Yeah, my missus always said I'd taken too many trips down the bitumen.
Never really bothered me much but I guess it'sjust payback time, eh?
