Default Mah New Whip!

Passed MSF, got the endorsement in mail today, picked up this 98 CBR600 F3 with 13k mi for 3.2k two weeks ago:


That's my beater 00' Acura TL (soon to replace by E90 325i) and trackwhore 98' ITR.



Yes, the plate on ITR says CBR, that is a pure conincidence, or aka Destiny.


Ghetto Armor


Time for some lub



Been riding like a pansy the past weeks, even with a full team of escrot service from front to back to side. Fastest ever was 70mph

It was black and went down on endo before, it's two-tone cuz it was repainted red.

Everything works though, passed inspection without problem.

Anyone know where I can get some good handlebar and grips? I need to change out that ghey handle bar and windshield.

Technically, it's the family car, but my mother prefers subway than driving
So, I put like 90% of the milage in that thing and commute to work with it.

Anything I drive that's not the ITR itself...it's a beater A beater means anything that can park on the street without me peaking at it every 10 min.

I don't see a need to swap out the grips and windshield. No one can see your grips when you're riding. I've had great experiences with Terra Powersports (www.terra-powersports.com). And there are other online companies that sell what you're looking for, such as http://www.kneedraggers.com.

F3's rock.

don't forget boots and pants. You're guaranteed to slide on some part of your lower body, and foot injuries are some of the most debilitating. I just read recently about a wreck on a ZX-6R where the guy's shoe flew off (think of how easy it is to pull a shoe off...) and the pavement ground down his heel. He ended up having his leg amuptated below the knee so he's be able to walk normally again.

My handle vibrates when I'm in the upper limits of the engine, my friend say that there should be a bar inside to lessen the vibration. And there is also a squeeling noise when I turn the bike, coming from the center of the handles, my friend said it might be the steering bushing that needs replace or lubrication.

Any insights?

Oh, and I do have Icon Super Duty Boots 2 and Icon Superduty Pants. Keeps me cool in the summer with some protection. But I can't take them off and put it in that picture cuz I'll be butt naked.

That's the attitude you should go in with to ensure you're protecting yourself every way possible.
