Joel's insurance thread made me think about what kinda experinece i have & i realized how far i've come in only one real riding season, and a the biggest reason for what i've experienced is because of this forum & its members.
I've done a 450 mile group ride w/ about 30-40 other riders which, among countless other things, helped me put just under 9000 miles on my bike in 7 short months.
I've met a number of great people that have somethin like a combined 1,000,000,000 years of riding experience to draw knowledge & experience from
You guys are the reason why I bought so much freakin gear.
You guys are the reason why I'm able to get into the sport as much as I do.
You guys are the reason I'm as aware of the inherrent danger and my surroundings as I am when I'm on the road.
You guys are the reason that I go to Louden to watch the races You guys are the reason I do track days.
You guys are the reason why I've learned so much about riding, racing and the sportriding community (not sportBIKE community... sportRIDING community).
Sooooo I just wanted to say Thanks... cuz w/o you guys i'd just be another idiot on a bike
Side note - I finally got to check out my new Bohn back protector & also fired up the Zeeixxsixar today for the first time since x-mas time...
now if i could just get it through the foot of snow in my back yard & out to the road
