(waves) Howdy from Austin, Texas!

Hey, everyone! Been lurking for a couple of months, I probably should join.

I've been riding for about 2 months myself, just got my 250 less than 2 months ago, and I've put almost 3500 miles on it already. My coworkers think I'm pushing the bike too hard.

So, if you see a blue Ninjette running around Austin (there are several that I've seen) running around Lime Creek Road, Shoal Creek, North Lamar, or Dessau, you'll know it's me.

Oh, and here is a picture of me on my Ninjette, which I have named Aria. She's just a tad bit slow, but fun and peppy. You know what I mean. I'll let the Central Texas folks guess where this picture was taken.

Clubs, yeah!

The music, on the other hand, tends to grate on me. I tend to like the one-man acts playing an acoustical guitar and crooning songs. They're really good, and you can really enjoy some great music without feeling out of place. (I'm a bit older than your typical Austin bar-hopping population.)

wazzzaaaap. you'll probably see me on either LCR or N. Lamar eventually. I would guess that pic was taken down somewhere just Northwest of San Antonio, but I could be entirely wrong.

You're in the right area (I would say more west than northwest).

N. Lamar = urban twisties! I just have to make sure I don't get too distracted.

I hate riding Lamar. I don't know what you mean by twisties. Just a lot of traffic with idiots behind the wheel. I can think of a single turn just north of 183.

Unless you mean just north of Town Lake.

The area just west of the UT campus. I used that and Shoal Creek to learn how to corner during the breakin period.

You're right about the idiots behind the wheel, though. I blame that on the UT student population. You ever notice all of our traffic problems pretty much disappear during Spring Break?

Oh well, I got to think of another bridge picture to take.... one of you guys got the one good bridge in all of Austin to take.

Hehe, I figured if I waited too long 360 would be snatched up so I had to act fast

Does Mansfield Dam count as a bridge?

I've got to take a trip to College Station sometime. I've only been there once before, but this time I probably should look more like the locals instead of pulling the wrong color clothing and hat from my rack....
