Greetings from Tennessee!

Ragnyl · May 12th, 2013, 09:11 AM

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...

Jono · May 14th, 2013, 05:29 PM

Enjoy your 300!

Welcome to the krew, what part of TN is Maryville? I live 1/2 mile from the TN line in AL, in the Huntsville area.

Ragnyl · May 16th, 2013, 07:18 PM

Kurt- I'll def be sure to check out ETB!

If you ever make your way over here, hit me up and I can show you BBQ that makes Rendezvous look like fast food.

Ragnyl · May 20th, 2013, 01:13 PM

Super tempting Brad!! I def want to make a trip out there some time. I'm a sucker for some fantastic bbq! My parents used to live out there for a few years, long before I was born tho.

BRad704 · May 20th, 2013, 01:20 PM

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.

Jono · May 20th, 2013, 02:59 PM

What Brad said.

I would gladly give up our fantastic BBQ for beautiful roads and some elevation change.

Dang it. Now I wanna ride the bike to get some BBQ!

Jono · May 20th, 2013, 03:11 PM

Do it, do it! I'm all BBQ'd out after BBQ Fest. (Only temporarily)

BRad704 · May 21st, 2013, 05:59 AM

I was there late Thursday but actually didn't get any bbq. Despite being inside 3 different tents.

Continuous · May 29th, 2013, 07:16 AM

Ragnyl · May 29th, 2013, 07:28 AM

Cool deal! You'll have to hit me up when you get out here and we'll go on some rides!

250rr · May 29th, 2013, 08:10 AM
