A Newbie from Victoria Texas

[mfnlonewolf]

Hello everyone, I just signed up yesterday, and have been reading all the threads. I just started riding again after a 30 year lay off, and after raising 4 kids, decided it was time to get back into it. My bike 30 years ago was a Yahama 650 street bike. I bought a 2002 Warrior in March of this year, and took a motorcycle training course to get used to riding safely. Just getting aquainted with my bike now and plan to start short distance riding soon.

Greetings, mfnlonewolf!

I have a similar background - started riding in 1970, took 15 years off (kid related - had a '79 Yamaha XS750SE), and got back on 2 wheels 2 years back.

I have a day ride planned through your area, date TBD. Watch for a notice in the upcoming rides section.

Welcome back to the two wheeled world! My story is about like yours. Got my first bike when I was 14 (Yamaha 350) and had it till I finished high school and sold it, After bootcamp I bought a 69 yamaha 350 while in California. After I got out of the Army I had a Kawasaki 750 ( I liked 2 strokes) and then a Kawasaki 900. Did'nt have any bikes from age 25 or so till 45 and got me a Triumph America and shortly after traded in on the Rocket lll and am having a blast. Enjoy your renewed passion and be safe.:rider:

Waaaah, sorry to hear that. An XS650 was my biggest traumatic experience in motorcycle ownership. :rofl: I'm just down the road in the port of the cows. Stop by sometime if you ride to the beach.

Are those little pins stops? Post up when you're going to ride. I might could ride over to Bay City and do part of it with you. Or, if you're going to stop for lunch in Victoria or something, I could just ride over there and meet up.

Those pins are merely where I google maps to make a turn. I will definitely post details when we plan to make this a "go". We can meet up with folks anywhere on the route.
