New to the Boards

Post by Exxxtreme » Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:00 pm

Hello All!! My name is Sandy Thomas and I was searching for a new group of riders to ride with and since I live in Mineral Wells, Texas we have very few riders out in this area. I ride a new CBR 1000RR ABS in which I just bought about a few months ago. I have about 3 years of sportbike experience in the past but haven't been riding since 2006. I have been riding MX for the past few years but just decided that I am through with the dirt and wanted to go back to street. hopefully I can meet up with you guys and maybe try a ride with your group if permissable.

Welcome, we have a few regulars out your way.

We have an unofficial bike night tomorrow @ Buffalo Wild Wings on south Hulen in Ft. Worth. And an official bike night @ Fox & Hound on Bryant Irvin on Aug. 12. If you get a chance come out and introduce yourself.

Keep an eye on the Rides Section for rides, and make yourself at home and feel free to explore the other sections on the board as well.

Welcome.
Subscribe to the CLub Rides forum and you'll get a message when a ride is coming up.
We had a good sized group last weekend. Tooooooo hot this weekend! Next weekend a good number of the members will be in Alabama, so hopefully on 21st / 22nd it will be cool enough to organize a ride.

No prob Blizzard. I just talked to David at Cyclewerks about you guys an he gave nothing but praise about your group. I had them change my windscreen out yesterday and didn't even know they were associated with you guys. Life is too funny.

I personally haven't talked to you Jeremiah. It's not hard to find me though because I own the the big computer/Internet store there in Mineral Wells called Extreme Internet. It's right next to Pizza Hut and the big Chevron gas station. You can also get ahold me by cell phone if you like at 940-452-0488.

Hey Sandy, Just dropped over to your shop and talked to JD. You where out on a call. I talked to him about the possibility of yall riding out to bikenight next thursday night with us. It would be cool to have more with us on the ride out there. I am sure you will love this group as much as I have. Everyone is very quick to help and its not just a bunch of squids. Well talk to you later hope to meet up sometime.
