Whats up guys?

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.

Whats up guys?

Post by Stardog » Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:37 pm

Hey guys! My name is Jonathan. I came here on the recommendation of my sister, Stardog77. I ride a Honda 919. Probably a little bit tame for most of your tastes but I love it. I have been riding for 4 months and have about 2600 miles on me so far. I am working on it. I have been studying and am trying to build skill. :-x

I look forward to meeting you guys and doing some riding.

Cheers,
Jon

Welcome to the boards. Doesn't matter what you ride as long as you ride. You are more than welcome to come hang with us at our bike nights (if you can't make this week, try again on the 4th Thursday). Some of us have been riding for like ever and some of us don't have many miles under our belt. You will find that we range in our riding experience but we all get along.

Some of us are in school so don't sweat that. We know how that rolls. Can't wait to meet you two!!

Welcome, don't worry about it being too "tame", we let triumphs tag along so your 919 should do just fine. :ar15:

I think that is cool that you ride with your sister. I wish my siblings were closer and rode but they don't (live close or ride)! At least I have my better half (Fixxer) and someday my daughter (if she gets her sh!t together)!!

Hilarious.

I just do not yet trust myself with fairings and 160 at the tire. I kind of like the wind telling me to slow down when I am acting up. Oh, and after a badly landed punch on my (still) best friend when I was 13 my right wrist is not a fan of low bars. I rode a Honda VFR for 30 min the other day and it felt like someone was driving a nail through it. :).

There is definitely that feeling of freedom riding a bike. Sounds like you didn't punch your best friend right if your wrist still hurts :-) I know from personal experience that your body needs to learn to ride the bike too...if you are not used to riding or holding on tight, you WILL be hurting before the ride ends, after it ends or the following day.
