Just saying hello here and thought I'd say a bit about myself!
I'm 26 years old, and started riding dirt bikes and quads when I was 11. I was instantly hooked by the thrill of the ride, and always knew that when I was older I wanted to ride on the street.
I went to school at UC Davis and during that time started riding a used CBR600. I graduated in 99, took a job in Walnut Creek, and kept riding! After the dot-com bust I escaped to Reno, NV (where I still am) for a great job opportunity and picked up a Suzuki Bandit 1200S.
Unfortunately, I have found a lot of factors up here make riding less enjoyable for me than when I was in the bay area. Weather, road conditions, and plain jerky drivers have caused me to rarely take to to road anymore.
I've made the hard decision to sell my bike and take a break for a while. As a long-time lurker here, I wanted to thank everybody for the great information and enjoyment I've had from browsing these forums. I'm sure I'll still be around lurking, and hopefully one day I won't be able to escape the itch and I'll be back on the street in the fray on a new machine!
