Hey all,
New to a real bike, living in Medford, MA and was told this is the forum to jump on for cool heads, kind discussion, and slow rides down Comm Ave
But for real, I just picked up a 2012 Monster 696 on Friday (was a GOOD Friday indeed) from a member here who encouraged me to join. Went right to the local school complex and practiced for a few hours, then around the backstreets of Medford on Saturday. Sunday morning I got up early and went Rt 28->Memorial Drive -> Storrow and back... and I am LOVING my first 60 miles!
Came from riding a 125cc Buddy scooter for the past 3500 miles for commuting over two winters and one summer, and am so happy to have made the switch to gears, real brakes, real tires, and usable power.
Looking forward to meeting folks and picking up knowledge and joining the community here.
Cheers and keep em' spinning,
Tom aka Tspinning
Oh and a pic of course!
