New and Hoping to meet up with ya'll!!

Post by Jbarber » Tue Oct 25, 2011 12:30 am

Hey, How's it going?

My names Justin, I ride a 2001 Suzuki bandit 1200. Bored to .140, uni-pods, and Yoshimaru exhaust. I got my bike as a present from my father for graduating high school. I'm 18 and, I have had the bike since June. Lately I heave been pulling wheelies down the highway at anywhere from 50-80 mph, speeding at like 165 mph. Got 723.00 worth of tickets and, got out of the group I was in (just a couple of friends) I'm looking to get into a group that doesn't pressure you to show off or "one up" each other. Maybe even get my friends into it, Had too many close calls... Also, i want to be in a group that won't jeopardize my dream of getting my degree in Criminal Justice, and becoming a police officer. I have standard steel toe boots, and alpinestar tech 2's I wear, Joe rocket padded jacket, and an icon full face helmet but, no gloves at the moment. Looking to meet all of you soon

Thanks,
-Justin B

Welcome! You certainly won't find that sort of pressure in our group. We're a close-knit group that believes it is absolutely possible to ride fast, but do so safely. We love to get out and ride, and ride fast, but make it home at the end of the day. I'm glad you found us, hope to see you soon! We have a Bike Night coming up this Thursday, come on out if you can and meet the group if you can!

We're not your average sportbike group. We have an assortment of folks from all walks of life, everything from new riders, seasoned riders, racers, saints, and sinners :-)

Welcome! You should definitely drop by bike night and meet the group. We're the opposite of showing off and doing dumb stuff on the highway. We're much more about riding fast, riding safe, and building real skill.

Welcome... Dont give up on your dreams of going LEO. There are several routes to take. We dont do pressure but we do encourage and try to teach so you can be a better rider doing the proper riding in the places that are best suited to it. In all honesty if your buddys are trying to get you to one up them and doing a better wheelie then it would be in a parking lot anyway. Takes a whole lot more skill to do a wheelie at walking speed or less and do other stuff with it than it does to do one at 80 on the interstate. Not that I have the skill to do it at all and not that I have the skill to teach much on a bike but that is my take on it. Hope to see you at bikenight if I can make it.
