That would be Los Angeles CA. I am over in the Silverlake area, but I have been practicing driving everywhere since I received my permit.
heres a pic of my 01 F4i picked it up on Craigslist has a little over 20k on her and I just picked up a Micron exhaust cant wait till that comes in..
Other then that just still learning how to ride safe

Hey nice Kmix. Always have liked that particular color scheme.

Time for an aftermarket exhaust though!

Thanks bro, yea its my favorite scheme, Once I saw it I had to find one..
as for the Exhaust just picked up a Micron on ebay for $125 not to bad.. I'll throw it on and later maybe convert it to a stubby.. next on the list is HID's.
also on the lookout for some grips that wont cause my hands hurt so much or am I just being a Noob lol...

If your hands hurt from riding it could be the Grips.... Or it could be that your White Knuckling the grips when you ride... Relax the grip some and you shouldn't have a problem.. If you continue to have a problem.... New grips it is! hahaha!

You are so on the Money with the White Knucker lol... still learning the throttle response, I scared myself a couple of times launching from 1st from a dead stop or just up shifting to 2nd, when I realized I have been shifting Way to early and I get this sudden jolt that rocks me back.. had to change my drawers a couple of times lol...
