Hey all,
I joined the forum a while back, but never actually did anything on here, so I thought I'd be a bit more active.
I first started riding right after graduating college, in India of all places. Work sent me there for 6 months, and I decided to rent a motorcycle so I wasn't so dependent on the tuk-tuks. It was a POS 125cc bike, which was actually the perfect size for the roads and traffic there. I left the rental place not knowing how to ride, and dropped it off 6 months later in love with riding and everything it brings: being connected to the road, getting to know new people, and peaceful meditation (unless stuck in Bangalore traffic with trucks tapping your rear wheel).
Seven years later, I now ride a Suzuki V-Strom, I've had it for 2 seasons now, and love it. I can have fun on the twisties, and be very comfortable getting there on the highway. I commute to work in Boston from time to time as well.
I don't have many riding partners, so if you are in the Waltham area and are looking to head out, reach out to me!
