    Finally, my 1st post here. I joined a few years ago but only check the site occasionally, mostly b/c I'm on a few other riding forums already. But I'm planning to visit here a lot more often now, and hope to contribute knowledge or at least smart-ass comments once in awhile! :biggrin:

    I live in NE Ohio and ride an '04 VFR I've owned for just over 3 years. I'm averaging 11k mi. per year, tho I may fall a bit short of that this year, dammit.

    Not a strict ATGATT guy, but I wear most gear all the time. Basically, I wear everything but real riding pants all the time, and don the real pants for long rides.

    What else? Wife, kids, dog, cat, boring cage to drive when necessary, a day job and I'm a musician on the side. Also coached youth baseball the last couple summers and this fall.

    So, hoping to get to know some of you on the forum, and to ride with a few of you sometime, too. :thumbsup:

    Tim

    Welcome aboard. Try to get some good riding in before the snow starts.

    In this part of the world it starts to get cold around now but there is plenty of riding to be done well into Nov. We don't usually get snow until Christmas time. NE Ohio on the other hand.....

    Welcome aboard Tim! I'm sure you'll find this forum loaded with good advise and plenty-o-sarcasm. Shall we open up a can now? :biggrin:


    Being kinda optimistic, aren't ya Jamie? Hell, here in Jersey last year I had 11 inches one week before Halloween! (A freak storm, no doubt, but it did happen!)

    Thanks for the welcomes, folks.

    And yes, Grey, I'm always up for a ride - schedule permitting. Unfortunately, my calendar is usually pretty full. But it will open up a bit soon, and hopefully it'll stop raining about the same time...
