for all you know your bike MIGHT have done this. But are YOU up for the challenge... all we need is a delorean with a trailer capable of 88mph.

2 stuck float valves, 1 clogged jet i believe. Bike ran good until I went out one day and it wouldnt start. Took the battery to autozone and it was only pushing like 58 CCA. I believe the term the employee used was "super dead".

That was tuesday. Work and school have not allowed me to get a new juice box to put in her. Maybe monday?

A dealer around here put a package together for me the other day though, for this SUPER CLEAN 1996 CBR F3. Only had like 10k miles. Everything was stock except for the Akrapovic pipe. They would take a grand plus my bike as down payment, and really cheap payments for 24 months. I really considered it, but they were asking way too much for the F3, and they were only giving me $532 for my VF. I almost did it.
