    New to NESR

    Hey NESR people,

    I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ben and I just recently started riding. Currently living near Boston. I bought my first bike a CB250 about two months ago, took my MSF course about a month and half ago, and somehow found myself on another bike about a month ago. That second bike is my current ride, a 1987 Honda VFR 700 Interceptor.

    As this bike is fairly old been doing a lot to bring it up to stock-esque spec. Had some clutch problems initially, was forced to learn how to bleed/fill the clutch, played around with the wiring to get my left-front turn signal working, and brought the idle back to a reasonable 1200rpm (from about 2300rpm). It's a lot of fun playing around with the bike and learning about it. Hoping I can learn some more 'advanced' stuff here and grow in knowledge and experience.

    I look forward to talking with all of you and possibly seeing you on the road. Thanks!

    Ben

    Haha, pics to come... need to get a camera first

    As for the turnover, I hear that motorcycle riders tend to change their bikes like underwear...
