Welcome! They are great bikes, and though not perfect, still good enough to keep my interest for many years... Ride safe and enjoy the diversity of the group. Dive in and enjoy the deep water occasionally. It does get deep sometimes!!!  Craig NcGhostrider 99 I/S |

Welcome but you'd get much more response if you would have a girls name for your handle. A appropriate pic along those lines would do also. |

Welcome to our little corner of the insanity.  Look at the bottom of my post and check what i ride. Someone sooner said every so often we actually do talk about motorcycles.  And trust me when i tell you-you aint the only old fart on this here board.  I've been retired a bit over 3 years and the Valkyrie was my retirement present to my self.  Check out Inzane in Eureka Springs Arkansas. Now granted i'm a lot closer to it than you but we have people coming from all over the U S of A and i think Canada. Be a nice way to meet a lot of the folks on this board. Again-welcome from the Ozarks and RIDE SAFE. |

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

Welcome Mike, I'm also fairly new here and have learned a lot about my new to me ride. Grew up in Upstate N.Y. around Syracuse and would move back in a heart beat if it didn't snow. You have some great riding areas up there. |

Welcome Mike!!!! You will enjoy your interstate more if you take it to the grocery store at the end of the block---and ride it 200 miles so the milk spoils and the ice cream melts..Don't ask how it know. you will understand the more you ride. She will WANT you to ride more and more. ENJOY !!! Gabby |
