New from Hyde Park/Poughkeepsie NY
 

Hey everyone. Just looking for a good local(ish) forum. Guess I found it. Just got my license and bike in October... though I've been trying to get both for 8 years (parents had the final say in that one for a while). Now I'm riding a 2000 Honda CBR600 F4. Riding as much as I can since I missed all spring and summer, but havn't put it away from the winter, and don't really want to.

Just figured I would say hello as I plan on spending a lot of time here.

welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the site. Great people with lots of great info. How'd you hear about SBA?

Welcome aboard :D




:fart:

Welcome to SBA Pat

That F4 looks mint, good deal, what's the mileage?

Welcome....

had 2700 miles on it when I picked it up... now has about 4000 I think? It was adult owned, which was the selling point for me. Other than the fake c/f clear blinkers in the rear and the hack job on the stock plate mount, the bike is untouched. Few small knicks here and there, but nothing I'm concerned about as it's my first bike and I'm sure stupid mistakes will lead to other scratches (not planning on dropping it, but things like not lifting my foot high enough or dropping things on it). Since I don't know what was done as far as maintenance, spring time will have the bike in the shop having all fluids replaced, and just a general lookover to make sure everything is perfect for the nice weather.

Thanks for the welcome all.

What time are you all meeting down at D&B? I saw the post for that, I will respond in it and try to figure things out. Problem is I work till 12:45 and then have a work christmas party at night, so if I can fit it in between, I'm in. That new years ride struck a nerve too... I need some warmer gloves though :)

Cakes - I actually found the link in RPM Cycle Works site and followed... I tried to enter that as the referrer, but it wouldn't let me the way I typed it.

Ginoe - yeah, that's a 99 ZRX1100 my friend just recently picked up. Awesome bike and well suited for him (he had an old KZ1000 and a 70's something naked Gold Wing, so retro sport bike is him in a nutshell). I've ridden it, and the handle bars and seating just feel odd since I'm more used to my clip-ons, but man, there's some power behind that thing.

Is there anyone else from upstate NY here?

Ahh cool, great people over at RPM. Their name on the site is rpm cycle works, all lower case, site probably didn't recognize the RPM. I went and added it for ya.

Theres definitely a bunch of riders in your area...help spread the word.

lol, when i got rid of my 80's kz1000 i went straight for the zrx

Hi Pat :wave: Welcome to SBA! Chris and everyone at RPM are awesome :nod2: Glad you searched their site and followed the trail here.

I'm south of you, in Beacon and there a lot of others from around too.

Try to make it to Dave & Busters, put some faces to names and settle in this great family at SBA :)

welcome to the site, like Cakes said, great people with great info, and jokes to lol.
