Introducing myself

Post by stoney812 » Sun Jun 07, 2015 7:52 am

Hello All,

I guess I'll go ahead and introduce myself, per LoneStarCBR's request, and post some pics of my babies. I live in Irving, and I'm a corporate america IT cubicle slave by day, and ninja rider the rest of the time. LOL. I've been riding for 13 years now, and I have at least 100,000 miles under my belt now, although I would never claim myself to be an expert rider, as I have still never actually done any kind of track day, other than going to watch. I'm not a squid, and I am totally sold on the groups "Fast and Safe" riding philosophy.

I was invited by Unfazable to the afternoon ride lead by Dragonfly, and I had one of the best group rides I have been on in a really long time. The pace was great, the route, even better, although I never imagined it to be possible to hit that many corners since we started that late in the day, but we did it and racked up 150 miles. Thanks again Dragonfly for leading such an awesome ride. I'm hooked and ready to do some more rides with the group.

And what you have all been waiting for: the current lineup....

My 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 (It's so sexy, even the wasp are photo bombing me to get a pic with it)

N1k in travel mode!

Also, My 2003 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R (It only has 57k miles on it)

Anyways, I just wanted to say hello and say I'm excited to go on some more rides with the group and meeting more of you.

Best Regards,
Jason

Welcome.
Theres a track day next weekend and a bunch of us will be riding. If you're curious come check it out. Afterall, a track day is like the best hill country route ever only there are no blind corners, no intersections and no speeding tickets because there are no speed limits - except your own.
