Hello, everybody! My name is Chris and i just joined the forum. I've lived on the West side of Fort Worth for about 4 years now, about 2 miles from the Sonic off of Clifford. I've always seen a group meet on Sundays at the Sonic, but never knew it was this group until about a week ago. Figured I needed to join!

I've been riding for about 15 years. Started on a 1998 CBR 600 F3 and am currently riding a 2004 RVT1000R. I enjoy all styles of riding; slow, fast, chill; as long as it is SAFE and not stupid. Sounds like this group is very much into the same things.

I have done 7 track days, with both Ride Smart and Lone Star, all at Texas World Speedway. Being a Fightin' Texas Aggie made it super easy to get to TWS! I have not done a track day since I graduated in '05, but look forward to the next time I can.

I look forward to meeting/riding with you guys!

-Chris

Glad you found us (I am leading a ride tomorrow, if you can make it http://www.fwmr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=8314" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). RS also has a track weekend at Cresson coming up on May 18th and 19th (maybe you can sign up and ride with some of us). If you can sign up and ride, we may have a RL post a ride to Cresson in time for the parade lap. We have bike night this week too (in 2 days). Come out and join us!!!

My wife works off of Bryant Irvin Rd. and we were with some friends at Fox & Hound a couple of weeks ago. I noticed in the pool room a poster with the shark riding the bike logo and went over to take a look at it.

From that point, found your website, started reading about the club and realized it was the same group I had been seeing meet on Sunday mornings at Sonic!

Welcome Chris. Love that v-twin. I almost bought one myself. Let us know when you want to try another track day with Ridesmart and we can help.

He gets off work at midnight so it would be about 1230 when he gets there.
