What's up guys and gals. New to the Fort Worth area and the world of riding. Just purchased a CBR f3 last week and looking for new friends and tips. Been riding a few times in the past but looking to make it a more common thing. Work mon- fri 7am till 5ish. Btw if the member name didn't give it away my name is Mike.

Yep, that's pretty much it. When you come in the door, we're in the room off to the side with the pool tables. Everybody in the front part of that room will be there for bike night (you can't miss it with all the motorcycle gear), so just come on in and introduce yourself.

Welcome to the group. And nice bike - I had one just like it in 1995. Truly an amazing all-rounder. Fun to ride on the track, or to work, or across the country.

It's been keep up engine wise and everything else no issues whatsoever. Only thing is I was dropped so right side main fairing is cracked somewhat but still sturdy. Dent in gas tank. Been lookin at replacement fairings once I get really comfortable riding.

I wouldn't worry about it. Once you get comfortable riding, you won't care so much what the bike looks like so long as it runs.

hey now, "I" didn't break my bike. It just happened. Either way "I" am fixing it!! On that note they are exactly right. I love a great looking bike, but i've found i'd rather be riding than cleaning or worriing about scratches.

Didn't say you did break it...it's a Triumph. It doesn't need the rider to break it, it will fall apart all by itself...

Yeah, not to mention that out of all the beautiful bug-eyed bikes you *could* have bought, you picked up an "I think I'm turning Japanese" Daytona. Second in ugly only to the "white power (kinda)" GSXR.
