And for my First post....

I'll introduce myself..

Im from NW indiana, and have been riding a 98 600F3 for about 2 years or 20somthing thousand miles. I'm a tech at a Honda motorcycle dealer, so I can answer most questions.

My girlfriend told me that she recently put a deposit on the first red/black 06 1000RR that comes in, for my birthday, so hopefully it wont be too cold when it arrives


I've started to put a list of mods together, seems like it keeps getting longer.
I'd like to turn the F3 into a track ho, but I'll prolly let my girl ride it.

OK, What's the capital of North Dakota?













Kidding-- Welcome!

---and if your GF is buying you a 1000RR, the LEAST you can do is let her ride the F3.

Re: And for my First post....

Actually I didn't even ask, or hint.. I was telling her that I wanted to buy an 03 954 that was traded into my work, and she said why don't you get a new one. I explained that I didn't want a $200 month bike payment, and she goes "Who said you'd be paying for it."

She wanted me to get a Repsol, but I already know 3 people with them, that I ride with occasionally, and I told her I thought it would be kinda ghey to see a clan of Repsols going down the road..

Is it really a gift to you or a downpayment for a big-ass diamond?
