Another Matt

Post by WickerMan » Tue May 28, 2013 11:04 am

So, my name is Matt. I've have been to a couple of Bike Nights, I've picked up trash in Aledo, and I've been on a Beginner Ride, and I realized I should have joined this forum before I did any of that. I'm 42, one 11yo daughter, girlfriend, and I have a 2012 CBR250R ABS in red/white/blue. I took the MSF course last November and have been riding only since then. I was a Teknic dealer before they went out of business. I choose wickerman because one guy said I look stiff when I ride. I found ya'll through a guy on the CBR250.net forum. I like that ya'll wear gear all the time, as do I, we have the same philosophy, except for the fast part, because I ride a 250. I look forward to more rides and trash pick-ups with you all.

You can still go fast on a 250, it's all relative after all. :D

Another Matt? How many Matt's does that make now? I hope you do not share the same last name as any of the other Matt's on here. :D. I am glad you finally signed up on the boards and hope to see you on more rides and bike nights.
