Hey everybody. I just started riding last September. Started off with the MSF class then got my bike endorsement. I had a friend with a little GZ250 and he let me ride it for several months to make sure I enjoyed riding enough to drop a little coin on my own bike. Only made it about a month and a half before I had to have my own. Something a little bigger too, as riding the GZ was a little like wearing a thong.
I wound up with an '02 1100 Silverado. 22k miles, full dress, V&H pipes, and a super-sweet Corbin touring seat w/ driver's backrest.
I've made one long ride (two if you count each way). I live in N. Texas and work in S. Louisiana. Rode the bike home last month on my days off. 650 miles in one day straight through, when my previous longest ride had been 45 miles!
13.5 hours!!! Crap was I sore! I managed to make the return trip in just over 12 hours, so experience is definitely a factor in long rides!
Well, I've been bitten badly by the bike bug. I'm already looking for a cheap 650 to play around with and customize. That'll have to wait though, as my money is going to my Sturgis trip in August.
Woo hoo!
