About time.

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.

About time.

Post by DrZanZaBar » Fri Jun 22, 2012 4:34 pm

Well it's good to finally find a group. I've been riding solo ever since I returned from Italy in December.

About me... I'm 23, ex airforce, and i've been riding for about 4 years. Riding runs in the blood though. I started riding in Korea on a Hyosung, moved to Italy and bought a R1 t to ride in the dolomites, and now I'm here riding a Ducati 749 on these rough back roads where I live.
I ride because I love it. I could go on for days but I imagine if you're here you already know.
I'm also a decent mechanic and try to share my knowledge freely.

Quick question about your username - did you spend any time in East Africa by chance?

My boyfriend is not big on Duki Ducs, but hey... that one he will let pass :-) (i'm pretty sure he messed himself a little when he saw the pic. You two will get along great. He wants to know if you turned wrenches in the A.F. (poor kid, you went WAY TOO FAR INTO THE BLUE.) sry, i'm a NAVY brat. (wait for it... here comes a comment from nitzerebbhead :SideSplittingLaughter: ).

anyways, welcome to the madness as my girl becky said. basically, just ignore what half of the people say and smile and nod at the rest and you'll be good to go.

yes, i'm opening the door wide on myself this morning. i'm not quite awake. my brain is shot and my a.d.d. is trying to hit serious overdrive and it's not working real well.

hope to see you thursday.

Uhhh, no comments for you. You pretty much summed yourself up nicely. I was going to join the Navy until I came to my senses. :)
