Another Ben?!
Another new guy named Ben, huzzah!
My wife Lindsay and I enjoyed our first ride with the FWMR group yesterday! I ride a '10 Z1000 and she's on a CBR250R. After living in Lewisville for a few years, we recently moved to Fort Worth, near Roanoke, and know nothing of the good roads around.
I've been on two wheels for 8 years and spent most of that time commuting to the office where I'm a performance consultant for AT&T. There's a whole lot to learn (and unlearn)!
Outside of work and riding, I'm a nerd. I enjoy gaming (video & board/card), reading, movies, and music.

Hey! Great riding with you & excited to see you on the boards.
The world needs Miles

Re: Another Ben?!
Welcome to boards. You pleased Miles by posting a pic of your ride right away. This forum has a lot of nerds on it. Maybe your wife should sign up on the boards too.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Re: Another Ben?!
Thanks, Miles. Hope to be out again soon.
Tel - I'll give her the nudge to sign up!
BD - Ha! I think Lindsay is eyeing up something like a Thruxton, Scrambler, or some such. She likes retros and a bit more upright seating. But who knows, maybe sporty rides will change all that!
