paulmbowers 236 Posted June 3, 2009 Welcome aboard. Read the informal ride sections and you will see plenty of rides. Just look at the ride description carefully to make sure it is a ride that is suited to you. And if you're uncertain, just ask- we'll help. Some rides are suited for bigger bikes and dual sport, others for strictly dirt. I understand there are even some rides that are just street. In any event, we're all here to support, encourage and include people in the sport. Welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted June 3, 2009 Welcome aboard! Several rides to join in on or post one. I'll also join you on a road ride 2 up (or not). Plenty of fun to chose from or post one. I just got a phone call from TrophyHunter, who is not near a computer, but relayed his fear that he may have given an unintended impression with this reply. TrophyHunter is NOT in ANY WAY offering a "2 up ride" to a member, new or old. TrophyHunter regrets the implication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted June 3, 2009 TrophyHunter is NOT in ANY WAY offering a "2 up ride" to a member, new or old. That reminds me of an incident some years back when I was working in a motorcycle shop up in Washington. People often came in and inquired about clubs and individuals to join for some riding, and one day this woman came in and asked if I knew of anybody that she might be able to go riding with. I offered that she could ride with me any time she wanted to. She gave me a strange look and said "I'm looking for somebody to ride behind on their motorcycle." I withdrew my offer rather hastily. :lol: (I might have told her to go down to the local biker bar to get a ride.... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joliet 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Welcome neighbor. I would suggest a ride down to PastaPilot's house on Saturday for your first ride with the group. That way you be able to meet a bunch of us all at once (disclaimer; not necessarily a good thing ). Look forward to riding with you. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
