howdy from the newb

Hey all, not in the bay area but there all the dang time. I actually live in the armpit I call home around Merced. So I make way to the bay as often as i can escape from here. I used to ride but sold my 02 F4i about 2 years ago a few months after my daughter was born. Decided it was a bit difficuly trying to transport an infant on a sportbike so I moved on to the next best thing, sports cars and purchased myself a 93 Acura NSX. I do miss my motorcycle baddly but I'm not quite ready to come back this moment because I still have some sorting to do in my life as a full time single dad. Anyhow, I actually came to post up a wanted ad for an Aprilia SR50, but it won't let me. I figured I might as well say hello while I'm here :)

I know scooters aren't the hottest thing out but I like to dabble in it all and damn did I have fun playing on my buddy's big bore SR50 out in colorado. So I'll share a few details on my hopefully new purchase, 02'ish SR50 big bore kit, and here's the kicker, nitrous :teeth It's all in good cheap fun lol

I read the little sticky in the classified section (skimmed, didn't look THAT closely) and it didn't mention anything about min post counts, subscription requirements or anything so I'm not really sure. I AM however, considering picking up that salvage 03 600RR though instead of the SR50 :teeth Price is right, mileage is a bit high but I sold my F4i with less years and same miles in great running shape. Just hope it's not stunted to death or have wheelied the shift fork to death. Honda motors are bulletproof, shift forks aren't lol :x

Actually scared "again" for the first time in years to ride a sportbike. I rode w/o fear of crashing or killing myself before my daughter was born. Even after it didn't cross my mind up to the day I sold it. However on thanksgiving my brother told me to take his BMW sport tourer out for a spin, 1100cc's or something.... I felt all sorts of stiff, nervous, little scared and like a newb again since it was 2 years since I had ridden. My head didn't turn and only my eyes moved, I was too scared to look around me to check my surroundings. Too scared to take my eyes off the road and look in my mirrors. It's gonna be tough getting back into the groove of things. Used to feel so, free, limber and one with the machine. Now I feel so..... foreign.
