Hey guys, just joined up not too long ago. Figured I'd make my introduction and get to know some of you guys. I found two wheeled texans while browsing google for Lord knows what.
I live in Houston, TX; the South East side of town and have pretty much lived in this area including Pasadena all of my life. I started riding motorcycles at 9 years old when I started riding motocross, and quit riding and racing January of 08 due to a knee injury. It hurt just too darn bad to land big jumps even with my suspension set up properly so I told my dad I was ready to quit.
In 2010 I got back into riding, and got my Class M and got an 09 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 classic. I put quite a few miles on the bike commuting and a few long day trips in just under a year when my dad decided he didn't want his 09 Vulcan 2000 classic. June of 11 he decided he wanted a 1700 Vaquero, so for fathers day I let him trade the 900 in on the 1700, and I got the 2000 out of the deal.
I pretty much ride all the time, rain or shine but I try to avoid the rain if I can't help it, but hey, when you ride all the time sometimes you get caught out in it and can't do much about it. I'm also a firearms enthusiast, member of the NRA and am a member of the PSC Shooting Club in Friendswood, TX. If any of you shoot Marlin Firearms, and are apart of Marlin Owners you may recognize me.
I am a future HVAC/R technician, and I also love welding and hope to have my certificate of technology in welding sometime soon, I do have an occupational in HVAC/R. Well I figure that's all I can say about myself for now; looking forward to posting and getting to know you fine folks. Photobucket is being kinda screwy right now so I could only get a hold of 1 pic of my bike for now. Sorry for the ugly mug.
