New Bike!!!

[Pockets]

Well I have been looking for a bike for some time now and I finally found it May 31 . I picked it up and took it home. It is a 2003 Honda CBR 600RR and is a sweet bike i must say. Have been riding it all over. Great on gas too!! It needs some TLC when it comes to detailing it because its got spider webbing all over it but i wasn`t going to let that bother me when i was buying it lol.

Here are a few pics:












Xenon Lights






Engine Bay Accent lighting (Red)

Wear a helmet

Congrats on the new bike

Most younger riders don`t agree with the helmet advice, but it is very good advice.

Keep in mind that your biggest hazard on the street is the person that is going to try to get you. They will have all sorts of excuses, but unless you can avoid them, the excuses aren`t worth much.

Oh yeah, one other thing. Going down in the dirt is a lot easier on the bike and the body than going down on the street. I rode dirt bikes for years, but was at least 45 before I ever owned a street bike.

Congrats on the new bike

Thank you and i am a firm believer of wearing a helmet it just seems stupid not to. I wear the same one that is sitting on my dads bike. All DOT and SNELL approved.

Most younger riders don`t agree with the helmet advice, but it is very good advice.

All For it

Keep in mind that your biggest hazard on the street is the person that is going to try to get you mostly true but most causes of sport bike crashes is the operator due to speed. They will have all sorts of excuses, but unless you can avoid them, the excuses aren`t worth much.
planning on taking a course in defensive driving with the bike

Oh yeah, one other thing. Going down in the dirt is a lot easier on the bike and the body than going down on the street. I rode dirt bikes for years, but was at least 45 before I ever owned a street bike. Agreed 100% and i know that i will go down on the bike sometime it happens to everybody but i can lessen it if i drive accordingly

Its a state law here in CA....and has proven to save lives ...Unless already suggested take a riders course...you can only learn from it and in the end could save your skin!

Always be alert and aware of your surrounding`s. Too many bikers get hurt or killed from cars pulling out in front or getting hit from behind at a red light. Always keep the bike in gear at a red light, you never know when you need to get out of a situation fast when a car fails to notice you or the red light. It looks like you have plenty of lighting to be noticed, it`s a very good looking bike, that`s for sure. I don`t think I could trust myself on a sport bike outside of a track ... I have also been tossing around the idea of buying a junked sport bike and converting it into a track bike ... but that`s a big investment.

Sweet bike Pockets. Looks like you have the helmet thing covered. The next thing you need to do is take a riders safety course, it is the best thing your money can buy. Motorcycle Safety Foundation

Looks good Pockets! As others have said enjoy and stay safe!

Now go get that thing detailed!

I have little advice to give you though I`ve been riding motorcycles for over 30 years. There is one thought I will leave you with and it`s been partially covered. People who ride dirt bikes crash (I know this first hand and have a fused back as proof), people who ride street bikes crash and die. It`s not typically their fault but discretion on a street bike will keep you here. Pockets, ride safely and resist the need to find out how fast your bike is or how fast it is against someone else`s bike and you`ll be leaving similar advice to newbies 30 years from now. By the way the fastest bikes I`ve ever owned were your bike`s big brother. I had 2 CBR 1000`s also a very quick VMax and a Harley. Now I only own a big Yamaha 2 Stroke dirt bike (haven`t ridden it in years). One that I would very much like to sell. It`s an 84 with 677 original miles on it.
