My faithful steed is a 2000 CBR600F4. I used to carve the nearby mountain roads with the best of the liter bikes, but it and I have aged, and my long commute prevents me from riding as often as I used to. I wear my road rash with pride. As they say, there are only two kinds of riders - those who have crashed, and those who will. Count me in the former group (a couple times.)
