Hello from Texas
What's up everyone. Finally decided to register since lurking for months got boring, lmao. Background: I use to ride about 6 years ago but stopped due to various life events. I'm taking the MSF later this month to brush up on everything then looking to get a ninja 250 to replace my car that has one foot in the grave. Since we have pretty decent weather down here (Central, Austin area) I'm going to be a year round commute rider again. Got all new gear ready to go except boots and a rain suit. My last bike was a Sportster, I rode it for 2 years or so. "Downgrading" to something more reliable and fun to ride around on. Looking forward to re-learning a lot and reading up on all the information around here.

Thanks for the welcome all.
I'm use to it, my car hasn't had AC for a few summers now. Lmao! I'm more concerned about the people that think yield signs mean "SPEED UP, YOU CAN MAKE IT!!", and 4 way stop signs mean "Coast through intersection @30mph". |

you're alright dude! right on. and if it was an 883 you can take them off the line, to 60, 1/4 mile then let them get close so they think they'll blow you off and then goose it to above there top speed. pissin' on the bandana heads help when i'm off my meds, sorry.
