New guy here

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.

New guy here

Post by Cj1K » Wed Jun 28, 2017 8:54 pm

Hello Everyone! I just got back into the saddle this past week after about 8 years being off. Gotta say....not sure why I waited so long...this bike has been a blast to ride! I joined the forum and submitted a request to join the club. My wife works with one of your members, and he told her that you guy's are a great group of adult riders. Looking forward to meeting you all and enjoying some riding partners.

Haha...She's the one that encouraged me to get a bike again, so she's cool as long as I get home in one piece... 8)

My wife thought I was going to die the first week. Is that an SV650? Welcome to the group.

Thanks for the welcome, guys! It's an 06' SV1000S. My first V-Twin (other than an H-D), but it is a lot of fun. Still kinda miss the higher revving I-4 sound. Had a 99' SRAD GSX-R 600 from 03-08...sold it to get a new 1k, and ended up never doing it.

Ridesmart is the main game in town. They have 2 or 3 events just about every month and we usually have a few people from the club at them. Next one local (Motorsport Ranch) is July 15/16.
