New Bike

Hi all,

After much looking I finally found this site and I am impressed with all the knowledge and helpfulness of the members from reading most of the help topics.

I recently picked up my first streetbike after riding a street-legal dirtbike for many years and for the short amount of time riding this spring I have to say I love the Superhawk. The low end grunt, the lovely burbling when off the throttle, the constant grinning, and most of all the fun factor of riding something that you don't see everyday .

I know I haven't posted elsewhere yet but a big thank you to everyone with input on changing the cct's and R/R topics and all the other help articles. After just reading through these topics the wealth of member knowledge, information and step by step instructions were greatly appreciated.

Keep it up guys and glad to have found this site and more importantly buying the Hawk.

Pics are up.

Always search first

Don't do what I have done, look up before asking. Just about every question about a hawk has been asked. Look forward to the pic and welcome!

Yeah pretty much what I have done is use the search button and just spend a few hours reading through the posts. So much good info here that you don't need to ask any questions as they are all answered on here somewhere

Welcome!

Keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up.

My wife is a Canuck, by the way. Born in Pointe Claire, near Montreal. We're watching the Sharks and the Red Wings right now, tied 1-1 in the 3rd.

No idea where the mirrors are from, the PO broke the stock mirrors and put those on but I like them.

Just so you don't get bamboozled by certain persons on this site about their bikes being faster i.e. red or yellow, the black Firestorms are the fastest.
