New members: Introduce yourselves here!

[JC]

Hi new folks!   Its come to our attention that we can be a little bit of an overwhelming group     This is partially because so many of us have ridden together so often this past year; we may come across as extremely close knit     But we always love meeting new people, whether it be here on the board or on one of our numerous events.  So on that note...

Introduce yourselves so we can get the chance to meet you!!   Here's your thread, now you have no excuse   Tell us how long you've been riding, what you ride, a bit about yourself, and how you found us!

Ride safe!

[JC]

Cmon new folks!

Hi,

I'm Terrie,  I know many of you already as I have attended dinners and close to home rides.  I haven't ridden long, a couple of years but, not as frequently as you all ride.  I started on a Honda 250 and now have a Honda Shadow 750 (This is not a sport bike for those who don't recognize it)!! 

That's about it, don't have much patience on the computer so I may not be a poster, but I will check in.

Thanks Jeff for getting me activated!!

Welcome to our little corner of the net, Terrie.

Looking forward to the next ride.

Be safe,

Jeff

Ok, I'm new to this board and motorcycle riding as a driver.   

I met a couple of your peeps this last weekend and this board has been recommended as a NON-KATTY board.   

I'm a female rider and have been on my own bike for a little over a year.  I'm on my third bike in that years time starting off with a Honda VTR250 Intercepter (Nov 04 - Dec 04), moved to a Suzuki GS500f (Dec 04 - Dec 05) and just started riding my Suzuki GSXR1000.   

I ride with my husband who has been riding since boyhood and he is currently riding a Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR1300.  Between his coaching and Skillz Days I have been doing well on this bike.  It is a LOT of bike and could be very dangerous.  However, I'm taking my time on it and working very hard on the basics to be smooth and to react smoothly on it.

I'm looking forward to more rides this year and for every opportunity to improve my skills.  I hope to see you all on the road and to join in some group rides.

Indeed it is, sorry you had to see me being a butthead as one of your first posts.


Hope to see you on some rides soon!

What?!  Don't believe them - these people are a bunch of a**holes!    You're more than welcome to come along on any of the rides.  Welcome to the board.

Welcome Nanette!  I hope you get a chance to join us on some rides.  What's up with that three bike thing in one year?   Of course, I'm just kidding since I did the same thing.

Just dropping in to say hello. I stumbled into this forum and all of you riders quite by accident.

It's a plesant and refreshing surprize to see a group of people who enjoy riding and want to ride responsibly. Sounds like I may have finally found my kind of crowd. Cool.

People who love leaning through the twisties but NOT dragging knees? People who think stunting is cool in empty parking lots away from traffic and never on city streets? That's the attitude I've hoped to find for ages. "Fun yet responsible" sounds great.

Hey dragonhawk, welcome to the board!   I think you'll find that this is the type of group we are.  The majority of the original members started together as new riders, and we've been adding friends to ouor ranks as we've improved over the past year or two.   Though we've never had a problem, we do insist that people ride safely, for their sake and ours

BTW, do I know you from the socalsv board?

[rwalterk]

Hey dragonhawk welcome to the board.  I've seen you on the socalsvriders board before.  We only do wheelies and stoppies every 2nd stop light.

Thanks for the welcome. Yup. I'm on SoCalSVRiders too.

I'm trying very hard to maintain a decent web-presence in the forums without joining so many of them that I become overwhelmed and can't keep up with all of them. Plus, I keep trying to promote my own California Bike Nights website and my own forum too. Which is building VERY slowly. But, hopefully, once people start using my website and seeing the value of the super-cool maps I made, the use of my site will grow a lot too.

Welcome Dragonhawk.  It's always nice to meet new people.  I hope you can join us on a ride some time.
