Greetings from Tennessee!
Hey guys! Just thought I'd post up a quick introduction. So quick and to the point...I'm Andrew, 23 years old, live in Maryville, TN. Just recently got a black Ninja 300 a few weeks ago, and boy am I loving her! I've put on 950 miles over the past few weeks and had a blast doing it. I have a pretty long commute (52 miles round trip), and also am lucky enough to live close to a lot of back roads/twisties. I've been very happy with my purchase. Plenty of power on the highway and a blast out in the country/mountains. This is my first street bike. I grew up riding off road(trail riding, a bit of track riding on the weekends for fun). I found myself searching the forums looking up reviews on various mods and such, so I figured I might as well become a part of the community!

Congrats on the 300.
Be sure to get connected with ETB too. They are a very good group of local-to-you riders. I live up in Solway/Hardin Valley. If you need anything, drop me a line...

Rendezvous is good, and tourist-y. Places like Central BBQ and Germantown Commissary are where it's AT! Even Tops BBQ is a Memphis classic and one of my favorites.
20 minutes from the tail of the dragon... You'll be bored to tears over here.
