Pokes Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hey folx, new rider, new member here.Just got my BMW F650GS a few weeks ago after three years of deliberation and research into what to buy. Absolutely in love with mah 'Nona.Looking for riders to ride, wrench and hang out with, especially other roundel riders, but I don't descriminate as long as you don't.I'm ATGATT and you can't miss me. You see a guy on a silver F with a Nuke-you-lur yellow and black Oly Phantom "Tron" suit, that'd be me. Can't miss me. For miles around.Hope to meet some of you soon.Hoping to get the H&B panniers I won on eBay (delivered today!) installed and maybe do some wiring (though I'm terrified) on Saturday afternoon.If the weather is decent Sunday I'm thinking of heading out to Serpent Mound and Fort Ancient and doing some riding and site seeing around there. Being a Texan transplant of 2 years, I figure it's time I started exploring a bit. What's everyone else doing this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 where in oxford? I sure do miss my time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokes Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I actually live in the "Mile Square" with all the kiddies even though I'm a full time staff member (and starting in a couple of weeks a part-time grad student).I dig it okay. Not my scene socio-econo-politically, but beautiful and a great place to have a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokes Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Not half as much shit as when he finds out it's short for Pokes Badgers With Spoons.It's from an Eddie Izzard comedy bit about original sin."Original sin. What a burden. Hasn't everything been done already?""Father...I...uh...I poked a badger with a spoon.""Well. Well, done my son! That truly IS an original sin."

PFD2006 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I lived in McAllen for five years before moving back here. I loved the winters down there, summers - not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yeah, that used to be me. I can understand how it could be a bit annoying at times now that I've grown up a bit. Glad to see you'll soon be a fellow Miami Alum for your graduate, so congrats on that. There are some really good road to the south, especially as you go toward Cinci.I actually live in the "Mile Square" with all the kiddies even though I'm a full time staff member (and starting in a couple of weeks a part-time grad student).I dig it okay.

Glad to see you'll soon be a fellow Miami Alum for your graduate, so congrats on that. There are some really good road to the south, especially as you go toward Cinci. Yeah, there are actually great roads in all directions. I discovered a road with a few turns and even a little micro-twisty section just outside of town for me to practice my curves on. It's just north of town off of 732. It's the first right passed Black covered bridge. I try to ride it a couple times a week to get my noob ass in tune with the bike.I even love riding that section of 27 AKA Colerain Hwy south of Ox just before Colerain. I got the bike into fifth for the first time on that section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on being at the Scorched Nuts regional burn hanging with my neo-hippie brothers and sisters that whole weekend. But, I might be able to put in an appearance depending on the details.
