Default Now I'm actually riding.

My presence might not be well known here but I thought I'd post the good news anyways.
My bike has been delivered to my house tonight. Its a 2000 Honda CBR600f4. Customized with carbon fiber mirrors, levers, framesliders and some suspension adjustments to accomodate my height (or lack of).
This is a suzuki forum and I got a Honda, but I like the people here and I suspect I won't get grilled for not being partial to any one company.
first things I noticed while riding the bike is that, for all purposes, it's easier to ride in all ways compared to a gz250. Braking and comming to a complete stop is a challenging process for me at the moment, because being so short and light I find it hard to keep the bike balanced as it falls to whatever side and I need to "catch" it before the momentum becomes too much to handle. No I can't flat foot it but I can do a little more than tip toe it.
Anyways, I'm very happy and i'd ditch my single class tomarrow to go riding all day if it wasn't for a test. Damn you philosophy test!
