yo people!

I recently first posted, so I thought I'd do aformal hello newb post.

I don't ride recreationally very often, I commute daily. Rain or shine above 60F, and when it's above 40F if it's dry. About 40 to 60 minutes, 20 to 25 miles, depending on the office I am headed towards.

I've been on my 250, this is nearing the end of my 3rd season. I atgatt, at least, i amgatt (all my gear all the time). Which is a leather jacket, lined in the cold, lined and over a fleece pullover in the really cold, and un-lined and vents unzipped in the warm. Doesn't matter how hot, either. HJC Cl-15 crypt full face helmet, Joe rocket shorty glove above 60F, no name gauntlet cold weather gloves below 60F, Sidi leather full boots (forget the model, got them on ebay for $70 and *love* them), and Shift over pants (these suck, but are functional). And a turtle fur when below 65.

I ride at least 1K miles a month in season. I picked up my red 07 in spring 09 for $2k with 6k miles, it now has 23k miles.

I got my 250 for the following reasons: 32% economy (to save money), 32% to save the earth (yes, really, i've lowered my carbon foot print, that's my story, and I stick too it, lol), 32% mid-life transition, and 4% because having a bike is cool as hell.

I've been lurking on this particular forum for a few months, not sure how I missed it. I've lurked on the other 250 forum for years.

So, yo!
