    I've been a member of VFRD for a while but I figured I'd check VFRW out. Soooo, Howdy!

    Forgot to mention I'm in Cincinnati. I relocated here from upstate NY and I hope to see more VFR's here than I did there. I only saw one other VFR in the Syracuse area and that was inside a showroom :/

    Mike, WELCOME! Funny, I moved to Cinti back in the 70's (masters degree, Law School and then work) and then returned to upstate NY many years later. Great city. I lived out east in Andersen Township and went to school with Kenny Anderson while he was the Bengals QB and was a neighbor of Cris Collinsworth (Bengals WR) (Yeah, I know I'm old) so they have a special place in my heart. Too bad they disappointed this year. At least they got a wild card spot. I sure miss the much longer riding season you have. Some really good riding across the river in KY. This is a great board with much knowledge available and some real characters. Enjoy being in this world. :smile:

    Welcome Mike. What part of Syracuse did you reside? I'm on the east side. I wonder if we've every crossed paths or if you happened to see a RWB around town. Mine is the only one I've ever seen. I've had it since March of 2007!

    I like Cinti too (esp. Findlay Market) but I do miss riding the ADKs. Don't really know a lot about sports though :/ lol I am excited about the short winters though!

    I actually lived in Oswego but nobody knows where that is,lol I never spotted you though it would have been nice to know I wasn't the only VFR in UNY :) I did ride a lot out in the SYR area b/c I only knew one other guy with a bike (RC51) and I worked with him at JPW on Thompson RD so I'd ride in and we'd go riding after work. It was reassuring when I'd just about run him over at 13 curves, guy on a 'busa he rode with too :) I'm not that fast, they just weren't that good but still :)

    Welcome to the World. We are less stuffy here. Cept me of course. I like to tow the line strict and serious like. I am with VFRD as well but I really don't go there much.

    13 curves is a great section of road. Another great twisty run is Route 13 between Chittenango and Cazenovia - not sure if you ever had a chance to run that. The VFR would have a huge advantage over the 'busa on either one of those roads, but we'll just say that you're the better rider :)

    Thanks guys, I never did the Caz ride maybe someday :) Is there a place here to download PCII maps? I'm trying to find a Two Bros., Motad and BMC map. I'm still running the tune I had without the header :/ Or does anyone in the Cinti area know a good tuner?
