Generally new to road riding

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.

Post by KatanaJ&A » Sun Feb 12, 2012 5:04 pm

Hi there me and my old ladie just purchased a 06 katana 600 and would like to ride with some responsible people other than people my age ... We are in our early 20s but have no desire to ride with the people refered to on here as squids we mutch rather met some good people as well as good riders

Welcome to the boards! The guys on here are safe riders and typically lead 1 club ride a month (sometimes more depending on weather conditions). Keep an eye on the rides section for any rides that any of our ride leaders may post and on the events section, for our bike nights, which next month will be the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Hope to meet you and your "old" lady there sometime. Oh yeah, nice looking bike. My husband had a katana once but his was bought with a few minors love taps. :)

Would be interested in coming out as soon as we get a new front tire. Rather be safe than be known.

You do not need to ride the bike to bike night. Bike nights are more for us to hang out and get to know one another. Most of us cage it but of course, when it gets warmer, more will ride their bikes in. So, even if you don't have a new front tire come the next bike night, feel free to cage it :D I agree..it is better to safe than be known!
