Jardine pipe is being released 2nd week of May so I have to anxiously await for that, and Ill be working on my own custom integrated tail light and license plate bracket this week to get rid of the hideous garbage in the back and the smoked windscreen is already on order.

Thanks! I actually got insurance through rider, no thanks to State Farm. Little side note, I think some insurance companies are really lame for not following the points listed on a driving record according to the DMV. I had a stupid 4 pt ticket almost 3 years ago and a 2 pointer about 2 years ago. Since then I had 3 points come off for good behavior, and 2 points removed for taking a defensive driving course at my own expense. DMV shows 1 point on my record, but the insurance companies follow their own rules to make the most $$$ out of everyone.

but it all worked out because rider made a mistake and Im paying insurance for a 600CC on my 1000CC bike. So Im actually glad I had to use them.

They call them insurance points.

Glad to see Rider worked out for you.

Still a sweet ride!

Nice..... remember if the cops pull up behind you and you doing triple digits....
running is an option :LOL:

ffejtable 04-14-2008 02:43 PM

Very nice! Look forward to seeing you out there this season with it.

Oh you can be sure of that! Im recently single again so I have nothing to hold me down! Im signed up for a track day on May 4th too so I hope that should help me actually learn how to really ride it. I was not really planning to take this bike there but I had to trade in the f4I so now this is my ownly option. Anyway its an awesome bike and it handles Waaaaaay better than the f4I in corners. My buddies 2007 600RR does feel a little more nimble, but when you read reviews about this bike feeling like a 600, it really does, except it does everything much faster.

Good luck trying to make a claim when they find out there is an error in your policy.

F*>k State Farm -

I'm being dropped cause I didn't get w/ a Pa agent when I moved - even though I gave them my new address & they never said a word - just got notice today - guess where my 1st phone call is tomorrow? SF to flame them

Sorry for thread jack - nice bike

ffejtable 04-15-2008 08:10 AM

I'll be at Pocono May 4th as well. :)

SAXON117 04-15-2008 08:48 AM

How dafuk did you get Rider insurance? I calle dthem the other day for a quote and they told me they are no longer allowed to right new policies and they will be cancelling old ones as they expire. I then got a letter yesterday thanking me for my interest but New Jersey will not let them insure anymore.

Dude, call your Agent & have them find you a PA Agent ASAP. Have them fax all your docs to that Agent so it can be quoted for PA. This happens often...but to get dropped you must have waited a long time. Still...let me know if you have trouble, if you want to stay with the company...we can make that happen.

liquiddevil2000 04-15-2008 10:04 AM

fast bike but i was never fond of the front end..it looks a martian!! lol
but all in all congrats man!

High_Revs_17 04-15-2008 05:58 PM

Out of the box, for me that bike has thee most comfortable riding position out of all the sport liters from the big 4, and the new design is great...now if they'd only pass that down to the 600.

PitsVtec 04-15-2008 08:06 PM

Nice...good luck with it!:ride:

Rev 04-15-2008 09:02 PM

I'm a loser too then because i dont know what it is either. So this is what being out of the loop feels like. Apparently it's a Honda but almost has the 1098 front end, MotoCysz color scheme and R6 rear.

Brian78 04-16-2008 09:50 AM

its an 08 cbr 1000rr

Awesome!! Pocono North or East?? I signed up at North.

for those who dont know what bike it is, its the 2008 Honda CBR1000RR

And about rider insurance, Im a little scared now. I only spoke to them last thursday morning when I added the new bike to my insurance and they didnt say anything. It doesnt make sense that they dont insure bikes in NJ anymore because they are based out of Jersey and they only do NJ / PA. It also doesnt say anything on their site which Im sure it would if they stopped covering people. http://njrider.com/

DAMNIT! My friend signed up and told me to register for north cause thats what they did. I would have chosen East just because it sounds closer to me. Oh well, we are doing the basic ART class anyway so I gotta take it easy on the new bike.

In other news, I was able to get the latest prototype for a fender eliminator kit with built in signals and a new license plate mount from bikelitez.com at an amazing early offer! This is how it will look like. I may have it by Saturday so Ill have my own pics soon.

Brian78 04-18-2008 01:40 PM

your right, im sorry Ron.. please take this as a token of my appreciation and my sincerest apologies.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings
