Hey everyone! I'm from Euless, and except for a 24 year break in the Army I've lived here all my life haha. I moved back over a year ago and until I stumbled across this site last night I have found no cool groups to ride with. Either they're squids or they plan very few actual rides. Been riding since '91, did a few trackdays at Arroyo Seco but never had the time to get into it serious. I will be attending RS this year. Currently ride a GSXR 750. I go on long rides everyday weekend if there's not ice or rain, mostly by myself on the FM's south/west of DFW. Looking forward to hooking up with yall and finding some new roads. And I just got a new Dainese T Avro Div two piece I need to show off :D

Yeah we're in a temporary store here next to the Albertsons in the same shopping center. We've actually been open the whole time but a lot of people miss us. We should be in our new store by the end of March, nextdoor to the old one that is now leveled. It's getting remolded right now, should be nice.

No I live off Mid Cities rd in the Bear Creek area. And if yall need anything come see me at the store and take care of you. I had actually stepped down from my position so I could work M-F and have the weekends off to ride and put my GI Bill to use. Right now I'm back to my old schedule working Saturdays for a couple more weeks.

Is it a coincidence that both bikes are similar in color (they are both nice looking bikes)?

Nice Honda addition....but.....
WTF is up with all the folk suddenly picking up some sort of new rides for their stables? Firewall gets a minime on the way and he gets rid of his ride. Then all of a sudden others are poppin up with new stable additions.
