    Hi everyone!!

    I've only gone and bought a 2003 CBR Fireblade 900 on impulse... VERY happy with it! 5 years of riding ER6N's was good experience but nothing compares to the CBR!

    To upload pics there is 2 ways

    1 upload to photo bucket and copy and paste the image code into the text box

    2 see the icons at the top of the text box click the pic frame icon (3rd from right) browse computer then upload.

    To add avatar pic, go to profile click the little pencil icon to the top right of avatar and add in the settings

    Ta for the heads up!!

    Are there any other short-ass riders on stock CBR 1000s? I'm 5ft4 and riding it around but at junctions I'm on my tiptoes! Considering getting it lowered... how much does this affect the ride??
