Newish Guy from Ohio

kmanlyst · August 29th, 2013, 05:20 PM

Been a member on here since March of 2013 but never posted. I'm Karl 32 yrs old from Columbus Ohio and I ride a 2012 250r Candy Lime Green. I bought my bike brand new off the showroom floor with 2 miles and I have just hit 10k....yes I ride a lot. It's my therapy I suffer from PTSD and rather than pop pills and be a zombie I followed my fathers advice and started riding a motorcycle. I love my little 250, even rode it at Deal Gap in June and can't wait to take it back, my friends rag on me all the time because I still ride it but I have made a lot of memories on it and it will always be in my stable.

Hey dude! A buddy of mine just got back from Afghanistan not too long ago. Glad you decided to be proactive, welcome.

kmanlyst · August 29th, 2013, 08:54 PM

Thanks guys and gals. Koreo are you stalking me? Rasta glad to hear your buddy made it home, I know too many who didn't and most were close friends.

Glad your being proactive. 2 tours in Iraq an one in Afghanistan here.
Good job on getting the best ninja color! Folks rag, but are they having as much fun on fast bikes going slower through corners. I myself will take riding a slow bike fast over babying a fast bike any day!!!

Yup get messed with all the time for being in the back of the pack, just ask Koreo, but I am riding my own ride, I have two little angels and a wife to get home to so I see no need to push it until I get into track riding and only on the track. Glad you made it home.

You to man... Riding your own ride is the best policy
