Hey guys!

My name is Chen-Han. I currently reside in the Las Colinas area.
25 years old. Working for a brokerage firm as a fixed income specialist.
Been riding for over a year. Started off on a Ninja 250. Currently riding a 2008 Daytona 675.

Found you guys on the web. I've been riding solo for a while and am looking for a group to start riding with.
I see that you guys do track days and this is something I really want to get into so I can improve my riding.

Cheers.

Welcome to the boards. Show up for the big shin-dig next week and see us for how and who we are :) I just hope the guys don't "scare" you off with how "wild" they get. Definitely keep an eye on our club rides section (you can subscribe to it) to join us on some rides out in the country. (Nice bike!!)

Thanks for the friendly welcome guys.
I have a lot few things going on next Thursday, but I'm going to try and make it out to the Bike Night if I have some time.
Hopefully I can get done with everything early so I can stop by and formally introduce myself.
