hello ! love the motor in your bike. 

Hey @JT72, I ride out your way often. Maybe we should connect for a ride. I am really happy with my choice of bike. It's really a lot of fun to ride.

The LEDs are clearly lame. But what else could you power while moving with a helmet wind tubine?

Would definitely be more interesting if it attached to the bike not your helmet. I bet you could used it to charge a phone at least.

hahah in all honesty this time there was no bait and switch.  i warned him and double warned him. But he was really good lvl headed rider. Will be a good addition to all the northern guys trekking down to ride seo. 

Yes, I was warned lol. I've always found its really hard to judge just by talking to people. Got to get out on the road with them to find out. It's nice to find a group of riders that have better skills, gives me a chance to learn.

I typically try not to go much past 120. Light comes on near 130 usually. 

That my typical plan on the MT 09 120-130 miles start looking for gas.

Welcome. Don't hesitate to post a ride. Lots of quick riders here with good road etiquette. I am not one of them, but they do exist. 

I think I found some of those riders you mentioned. Had the pleasure to share the road with @NinjaDoc @Skinny guy @durk today. I had a blast!

Let's us know when you are comfortable rolling with them, we can move you up from the slow group to medium.

If that's slow I think I'll pass on medium... Maybe I'll join the group that rides backwards!

@durk It was nice to meet you out on the roads. The crew here at OR can really move. My milage total ended up at 498. I'll sleep well tonight.

Thanks whaler

Welcome. Nice looking bike. If you like twisties, you’re in the right place. 

Thanks, I got a few dragon pictures too! Lol I was down there last August. I was planning a trip this July, but who knows if that will happen. I just cancelled my scheduled trip at the end of May to Burnsville, NC.

I stumbled upon the forum here and figured I come check it out. I grew up like a lot of other people riding dirt bikes. I had a YZF600R back in the mid to late 90s. I don't know how many times I had my motorcycle temps, but for some reason or another I never got my endorsement until 2018. Life got in the way and I ended up being out of Motorcycles for a good 15 years at least, but the addiction that laid dormant has come back strong. Shortly after I got my endorsement I went and bought a 2018 Yamaha MT09 in September of that year. I have since put on about 9,500 miles. I love to carve the twisties and like to put on the miles. Looking forward to meeting some like minded folks with whom I can share joy of the ride.
