toddwrites Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 By way of introduction, I'm Todd. I ride an '05 GL1800 ABS--currently that's the only bike in the garage, although I'm thinking a well-outfitted, well cared for and broken in DL1000 or DL650 would be good to keep the 'Wing company. Leads would be appreciated. I work at the university. I write for Midwest Motorcyclist Magazine (www.midwestmotorcyclist.com). We're escapees from Chicagoland. Been here about 2 1/2 years. Home for me is Bloomington, IN. They have a little college there and now and then they play a little basketball. I have a built in speed control when I have my backseater along. Too fast and there's a double jab to the ribs. Odd how my previous bike--'97 Valkyrie--had the same feature. Besides riding on my very short commute, I'm out on the weekends. After almost two decades living near the Windy City, I'm still amazed that I can find some of the best riding in the country ten minutes from my driveway. I consider myself spoiled rotten and am thoroughly enjoying it. So, is there a social group for those who are old, slow, and ride lousy lines?Best,Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron505 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Welcome. I no longer have to go to Chicagoland for work, and I can't say that I'll miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi Todd -I live in Indy but graduated from OU in '81. Great roads down there.Rode through Bloomington last Friday (Routes 446 and 45).Have you been to Zanesville recently? I stopped at a bar there for lunch on my bike and the bartender had a copy of your magazine for me to read while I ate.Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
