Hello everyone,
I'm James, I was made aware of fwmr back in March 2011 by a coworker who i believe is a club member. I had just bought a bike at the time and was looking for a good trustworthy group of guys to ride with until my bike was stolen. I had bought a small cruiser in the mean time but didnt like it so I sold it and now I am back on the road with GSXR 600. I plan on coming out on thursday night to meet everone. I am also interested in regularly attending the ridesmart events at MSR. For now here is a pic of my bike...hope to meet everyone thursday!

I was going to say that as well. Love the red trim on the black bike.

Welcome!
I think that's the first time anyone posted a picture of a bike that I looked at, scrolled down to read the rest of the posts, stopped midway in the second post and scrolled back up to look at the bike again. Very nice! What year is it?

The one with the nice Brembo brakes. I'll bet the Nissin/Tokico execs were not happy with whoever lost that sale. Lucky Hari Kiri isnt popular anymore...
Nice bike 111. Let me know if you have any questions about trackdays - I'm a Ridesmart instructor and usually do around 10 track days a year, either teaching or for fun.

Awesome, thanks. Does most everyone camp out the night before? I would like to make it this weekend but I don't have a trailer yet and figure it would be a lot easier with a trailer.
