Hi, new member from Alabama

Recommended Posts

OK, I'm sure you are wondering what's a guy from Alabama doing on this forum?  I lived in San Diego back in 86-89.  When I moved there I had been riding for a few years mostly in Ohio and Florida.  SoCal was like motorcycle heaven compared to all my previous riding.  Unfortunately I had to move away at the end of 89.  I did manage to come back and ride a couple of times.  I still have great memories of my time there. 

Some time back I decided to scan some of my old pictures and create a ride report starting back when I first got into bikes.  Of course my time in California is a big part of that report.  While doing some research on one of my old riding friends I stumbled across this forum.  This was the thread I found:  http://dualsport-sd.com/forums/index.php?/topic/10107-john-hermanns-33rd-wildcat-canyon-ride/.  I did a lot of riding with John Hermann and many others back then.  I'm wondering If anyone else I used to ride with is still around and maybe even on this forum?

Some pics of me from "back in the day"

Someday I hope to make it out back there.  Back then I was just a street rider.  I'd love too visit some of my old favorites; Julian, Dudley's bakery, Mother's Kitchen, and of course all the great roads.  I'd also like to explore some of the non- paved stuff I missed back then. 

 

Anyway, If you see yourself in any of these pics or remember me,  let me know.

Nice quiver. Scooter's are cool.  The KLR will take you just about anywhere.
