Just Joined! Want to get to know the group!
Hello to all. My name is jonathan gonzalez or Facebook jon_af_gonzo@yahoo.com. I currently own a 2003 zx-9 in which I am currently trying to get to fall in love with. Its been a hard month for me being that my 2006 yamaha r1 was stolen but at least the zx-9 is here to comfort my loss. She has some low end torque that I love to play with but I miss my high end power on R1. Anyways I am 27 and live in south arlington by 20 and 820. I have rode with many people and choose only a select ride style to go out with. I read the information you had posted on Squids and I loved it!! haha I am guilty for riding occasionally with squids but thats just because I havent built up a group of better riders. Other than that I ride with about 4 other guys that are more experienced and choose better opportunities to have fun. Anyways I am a TCU student now after 6 years of active duty military and ride my bike just about everyday. I am looking forward to meeting you guys at a bike night and introduce myself in person. Look me up on facebook and add me if you choose.
I currently ride a 2003 zx-9 but previously owned 2006 yamaha r1, 2005 gsxr 600, 1998 SRAD gsxr, 2005 yamaha fazer 600

Welcome!
Bike night is this Thursday at the Pour House. Stop by and introduce yourself! We hang out by the pool tables and there is usually a group out on the patio.

Welcome! FYI stay away from darcshadows rides unless you like dirt roads
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body; but rather to skid in sideways thoroughly used up, totally worn out and yelling at the top of your lungs "Holy Shit...What a ride!"

Welcome to the forums. Hope to see you out at Bike Night this Thursday.
I think we should be a good fit for the type people you are looking to ride with. There are several ex-military, and several others who are student, and at least one who is both (me).
Watch out for Pink Fiddy, once she hears you are going to TCU she will likely become excited and hyperactive (which isnt much of a change from her normal self).

Re: Just Joined! Want to get to know the group!
Great! thanks everyone for the information. Yes I will watch out for the dirt roads! I havent ever been to a drag strip so that could be fun if I get the chance.
Ill do my best to get out on Thursday, the only thing that could hold me back is that I lost my dang Key to the zx-9. I could use some ideas if you guys have any about how to get another one made. I dont have a dang key code. Maybe kawasaki dealers can make me another one with title and vin? I dont know but until then im SOL. I dont want to think about changing out the ignition, gas tank and trunk lock. hopefully my keys show up!... This just happened today!

Re: Just Joined! Want to get to know the group!
I had the same problem once and had a locksmith come out. He took the helmet lock off and took out the tumbler to get all the settings he needed and then made a key. Cost like 75 or something for it. If your interested in going Friday then there is a post up for the drag strip giving info and stuff.

Re: Just Joined! Want to get to know the group!
yeah, thx DD. I am hoping for them to pop up in the house but if all else fails I will have to do that. Still cheaper than going the ignition route!

Re: Just Joined! Want to get to know the group!
Welcome to the boards. BTW, if you have a vehicle (other than your bike) you can still make it to bike night (if the loss of your key is the only thing holding you back). Bike nights are more about hanging out together and some bring the bike while others cage it. Hope to meet you on Thursday!!! Oh, and I hope that house elf returns your keys
Re: Just Joined! Want to get to know the group!
Welcome! I always cage it to bike night, no biggie.
