Hey, there. I joined primarily to sell a bike, but after thinking about it, figured it was about time I reached out to find some local riding partners.
I've been riding since the mid-90's, primarily Honda V4's. My primary riding partners in crime have been the Sabre/Magna (SABMAG) internet group, but they've hit the point where they're not very active anymore. During most of that time I lived in Pittsburgh, enjoying the proximity to good riding roads down in WV/MD. The first decade of my riding career saw me averaging 12K-13K miles/year. Now that I'm back in Cleveland, it's been difficult to get up the motivation to do much riding, so I'm hoping getting involved with a local group can help. I've got way too many hobbies nowadays to go back to those mileage figures, but I'd certainly like to get out more than I am currently.
I do all my own maintenance and have a nicely equipped garage with lift, tire machine, compressor, fridge full of beer, etc. I'm happy to help anyone who needs it.
I've owned a 2013 FJR1300 for the past couple years, but we've never bonded. Last year I picked up a 2001 ST1100, since that was my last good experience, and I'm selling the FJR. I just can't love an inline. Hoping that getting back to a bike I once loved can rekindle my riding motivation!
