Welcome to the forum.
Crashes here dont hurt as much, but wear your helmet anyway. LOL
That's quite a tale you have. Good thing is you've had a chance to own many bikes, or is that a bad thing? Well, whatever... you got an F4i now, and that's what matters.

Are you still in Palo Alto? We have some members around there. Maybe they will want to cruise with you.

Glad you found us. Welcome aboard.

Yep, that's certainly quite the story. ;-) Hoping the rest of your riding career is much less eventful. :-)

You'll enjoy the F4i. Its a great bike & has a more tame riding position than some others. Makes it ideal for sport-touring, commuting, twisties & track.

Good to have you w/ us.

Love the f4i but find the fuel inject a bit rough was told a power commander would also help smooth it out.
