Not familiar with TSW, post a link and I'll check it out. Thanks!

I've been lurking for a while, figured it was about time to say hi.

I noticed most on the board are sport bike riders. I ride a cruiser myself(02 Honda Shadow Spirit 750), but most of the guys I ride with are gixxer guys and I like this site because it doesn't seem to matter what you ride here, as long as you ride. A lot the sites I've tried out seem to be that if you don't ride a certain type of bike, you shouldn't ride at all and I prefer to avoid that attitude. I'm a fairly new rider(got my first last spring) and like to ride safe and ride hard.

I'm a graphic designer by trade, so if anyone is looking for some graphics hit me up and try to help you out if I can, but my job and family keep me pretty busy.

I'm also back in school getting a second degree in web design, so if anyone needs some tips or advice, let me know and I'll try to help if I can.

I'm 31, married, no kids( but a dog that might as well be), pretty quiet and reserved, but looking forward to getting to know some of you.

I have a barely worn mens Highway One Intake leather jacket, size medium.

i bought it this spring, and then my wife surprised me with another that I like a bit better.

Here's a link for info-http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/productPagedetails.asp?ImageName=HIGHWAY-ONE-INTAKE-PERF.jpg&Brand=HIGHWAY%20ONE&Class2=Jackets%20and%20Vests&Class3=Leather%20Jackets&Class1=STREET%20PRODUCTS

$50($100 regular price) +shipping or free pickup in Columbus.

Let me know if you are interested.

I bought my first bike from integrity last spring, 02 shadow spirit 750. I spent over month going to every dealer in Columbus, and felt that every other dealer wanted to get me on big expensive bike that would benefit them more than me. I went to integrity, told them by budget and what I was looking for, and was treated with nothing but respect by everyone there. I can't remember the salesman's name, but it was a no pressure atmosphere, I was showed what I asked for and the was told the downfalls and high points of each bike.

I did some, but not quite enough price comparisons before I got there, and at the time they were a little high, but not off the charts. Late spring was a bad time to buy anyway, and if I would have waited I'm sure I could have found a better deal, but I didn't want good weather to get away from me. At that time they had the best selection of used bikes that I could find in Columbus.

I never felt they were shady, but like I said earlier, I could have got a better price had I shopped around more and maybe not bought in peak season. I would not finance through them, I used them for a few days and then used my own lender because of the high rates.

So overall a good selection of used bikes, great salespeople, but maybe a bit pricey. I would recommend them, especially if you are paying cash, but my next bike will be a new one, so I doubt I use them again only for that reason.
