joined the forum a couple of weeks ago. i live near neches texasbut will be moving to longview in the next couple of weeks. will be starting a new job there. i just got my bike the end of feb this year(08). its2000 honda shadow 1100 cc spirit. i am enjoying it very much. new to street riding , i had a bike in 2005 at which time time i took the safety course and got my license. sold it which was a mistke but now im back riding again. i am looking forward to meeting some other riders out there and riding with a group and also finding a group that meets on a regular basis. if anyone knows of one close to longview i would like to hear about it. thanks adrian mcelroy
