Looking thru the Faceshield again!!!!!

Hi Guys and Girls,

I look forward to this opportunity to participate in your organization. I have recently purchased a 2008 YZF-R1 with only 6000 miles. I am looking forward to learning how to ride SAFE, SMART and then FAST!!!!! (IN THAT ORDER) Some of my friends and family say this is a mid life crisis purchase. I like to say it is the pursuit of a hobby!!!! I used to ride 25 years ago and gave it up to become the responsible adult I am suppose to be. Now that is done and AARP is sending me a membership card I would like to attempt to Sport Bike Ride again.

I look forward to meeting everyone at the next bike night event!!!!!!!

Thanks,

EMF

Welcome. Glad your back to riding. Keep an eye out on the rides section for any rides that may pop up, and come join us at our next bike night, which will be the 24th (info here).

You are never too old to ride!
Welcome to the boards. You will find that some of us are a little quirky but goofy looking but we are a group that stresses safety while we ride. We learn from each other and have NO problem giving back our opinions on whatever issue anyone posts up

Come meet us next bike night (Next thursday, I believe) at the Fox and Hound and keep you eyes posted for any rides that are posted by one of our awesome ride leaders!! Welcome to the mix

Not sure if we have any card holders but we have and have had a few members that would of qualify for an AARP card. Look forward to meeting you.

What's up with the name change?

Fish R1 · Post by **Fish R1** » Tue May 15, 2012 6:09 pm

Attempting to post a picture of my bike. No luck so far. I will try and contact the administrator tomorrow.
Oh yeah the name change is a play on my last name which is Fisher (Fish R1) It sounded good to me at the time.

Your not alone in mid-life crisis.
This is the place you want to be to have fun on that thing.
Ask questions - motorcycle tech has changed a lot since then.
Come out to the rides and have fun ~ To quote that car company, Enjoy the Ride.

Nice bike!!! Welcome!!!

I would say I just had a close to mid-life crisis and started riding. Welcome and don't let those female 250 riders scare you off...

Oh bite us nitzerbbhead. And you're one to talk as you currently ride a 250

Just ignore him Fish R1. We're not as bad as he makes us out to be, but we are small so just watch your back

j/k. (i think...)

any ways, howdy, and hope to see you next thursday.

Oh, I didn't mean *you* Pink...

Or maybe it was you I was warning him about...

Must be talking about me then

because Pink has 500 and I think I am the only girl here that has a 250 (unless you are talking about you)

Take it to the track...bring it, baby

Doesn't take much to get a rise out of you ladies - mission accomplished.

Sounds like you are too chicken to take it to the track, that is all.

nitzer · Post by **nitzer** » Wed May 16, 2012 5:28 pm

Dang woman...can I put some miles on the bike first? Maybe get my carb issues figured out?

I have no fear of the track...in my Miata.

I think all of the taunting is just so you can see me get into a tight leather race suit...

Not to mention on the 250 too

You know us women so well. Wait, miata on the track? Not as much fun in a cage as it is on a bike

nitzer · Post by **nitzer** » Wed May 16, 2012 5:33 pm

The Miata is only like half a cage...no roof. Although I did have to install a 4-point roll-bar in my old '97 before being able to track it. OK...I think we've jacked this thread enough.
