thanks for warm welcome and reassurance that I'm not too old to enjoy life.For you guys that asked, I'm from madison, which is about half way between cinci and louisville.Lookin forward to meeting and riding with some of you guys, since I'm the only one of my friends that have sport bike. My friends all have harleys or dual sports or dirt bikes, but just had have one of these machines.Having raced motocross a few yrs ago and then went to cars and raced a few classes and ended up in dirt late models for a few yrs, then retiring and suppoting my son in karts and when the girls set in and his interest level dropped, I still have the need for speed sooooo.... here I am.thanks again guys,(and girls) for the welcome and I'm sur you'll hear from me about all kinds of questions in the future.
