Default Stuck in 1996!

Not sure what it is with me and 1996? I just picked up another 1996 vehicle......
A super clean Honda CBR600 F3 (slow by today's standards, but in it's day... it was somethin'!)
Now I have 4 vehicles from 1996:
1996 Honda CBR600 F3
1996 Porsche Cabriolet
1996 Porsche Coupe
1996 Ford F250 Utility Truck

It isn't by design, just odd.

If for any reason you want to move forward, I'll help relieve you of some 1996 addictions....

I had the fairings and tank off. It's like new underneath. It has 35K miles, so it has been riden, but just very well taken care of. All original except for the K&N air filter. Never been down.

This bike also came in the optional purple/yellow Smokin' Joe Camel replica livery (after Miguel Duhamel's bike, I believe).

I have owned and riden numerous bikes over the years, from sportbikes to Harleys. I haven't had a bike in a few years, so this will be fun.

Thanks Rinty. I know you are an avid motorcyclist, too

Slow by today's standards is still pretty darn fast.

I don't think I've ever owned anything MY '96. Although, my '97 993 was manufactured in '96. And in 1996 I bought a brand new left over '95 Ducati 900SS/CR.

Oh wait, I did buy a 1996 Honda Del Sol VTEC brand new. Forgot about that.

Good luck with the CBR. I've always wanted an original CBR1000F Hurricane. They were just coming on scene as I was getting ready to graduate HS. Been too busy with German and Italian bikes in the meantime instead.

Don't wait, experience a Ducati while you are young. I miss my last Ducati, a 2001 ST2. Sold it here via R-list to one of Rinty's buddies in VC. It was a sweet ride that had nice bark. Wish I still had it.

Rinty, how is that bike doing?

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed!
