Hey comrades!

Tell us a little about yourself and say hello to the gang. We would like to hear about who, what, and why you ride as well as how you found us.

Hey comrades!

Post by SputnikSam » Thu Apr 14, 2016 1:23 pm

Hi all, new guy here!

Met some of you on this past weekend's group ride. I've got my first bike, 2010 Ninja 250r, and I've been riding for about a year. Had an achilles tendon rupture about 6 months ago, and just now finally getting back on the road.

I'm really enjoying the bike and the culture, and hope to stick around this site for a while and go on future group rides!

Cheers! :-D

You're not supposed to tell the new guy that quite this early.
