I recently turned 35 last month. Ahh..my how quickly time passes by. My first bike was a brand spanking new 2004 CBR f4i, I didnt even have a license, nor did I knew how to ride a bike(motorycle), so I had the dealer ride it home for me. After having crashed it a couple of times, I sold it. I took a break from riding for about 4 years. Last year being being alittle more older and wiser, I opted for a used and more manageable bike,a 04' Suzuki GS500F. Practice with that bike for a few months then bought the 03' Xb9s. Thanks to all the knowledge and help from everyone on this forum, I have been able to transform my bike into my own.
