To the site anyway...
Saw a link to this site in someone's signature on gixxer.com so thought I'd come check it out. Been riding since May of 2005, started out with a 2002 GSXR 750 that I bought used from a dealer here in Oklahoma City. Had 10,000 miles on it at the time of purchase. First thing I did before I threw a leg over my own bike was take the MSF course. Picked up the art of riding pretty quick, and became addicted almost instantly! I put about 8,000 miles on my bike between May of '05 and November of '05, till November 6th I got in a wreck and was down for a while. Was in a big group ride and people were acting stupid in the middle of the pack...long story short, my bike got rashed up pretty bad and my left femur got broke along with my right wrist. Between healing and fixing my bike (not perfect, just road worthy) it took about 6 months before I was back on two wheels, and have put another 9,000 on my bike since then. Started out knowing nothing about bikes, and now I pretty much do all my own mods/maintenance/mechanical/electrical work and it's like a cocaine addiction lol. My fiance has a 2006 GSXR 750 but doesn't ride near as often as I do, so I take it as my responsibility to make sure hre bike isn't just sitting in the garage gathering dust and alternate between mine and hers depending on the day lol.
Anywho, I'm done with the long ass introduction.
and by the way, HI
