I'm new to this whole motorcycle thing.  Been lurking around here for a few months.  Recently got my first bike, pics below.  Was going to get a 696, but found this bike used with about 1,000 miles and decided I couldn't pass it up.  Taken it real easy since the thing is a bit more intense than I was planning on.  Slow and steady for now.  I'm up in Portland Or. for the summer/ fall than back down to California.  This forum really helped me out in my research stages so I would like to thank everyone.  Hope I'll have some good things to contribute.

I already have way too many plans for this thing.  These pics are from the day I got her home.  Tail chop and mirrors are on the way.
