The new guy

[Lostrider]

Hi everyone,
I found this forum last week and have been enjoying it ever since!! Just joined today, and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Todd, I live in Idaho. I have been out of the riding scene for a long time but I am going to buy a bike this spring. (I got the kids an XR80 last fall and got myself hooked again...LOL) Anyway, there seems to be many knowledgable riders on here and I hope you will help me with the many questions I have. Can't wait for Spring!! Thanks for the great site!

Welcome!
Been there - done that too! Took a 17 year hiatus, now I'm back with a vengence! UPS trucks stopping by my house daily and I can hardly wait for my next ride. Sometimes I just go out in the garage and look at my bike....

You will really like this site. Lots of information. There is always someone here that has been there done that so don't be afraid to ask.

...someone here that has been there done that...

You....said....you destroyed the negatives!?!?

(I'm not paying another dime!)

Lostrider - We have been looking everywhere for you.;)

Welcome to the gang Todd, now go out and get yourself a bike. Spring is a long wait and I think bikes are cheaper in your part of the country at this time of year.

 

[dave186]

Welcome Todd, another Idahoan, we ought to get all the people from Idaho together for a ride sometime this spring. thumbs, your right about bikes being cheap around here this time of year. I guess everyone is selling them to buy snowmobiles. I got my 97 KX for $1700

 

[dhoward]

Welcome Todd. Did the same thing. Bought the kids bikes, and had to get one for myself! It's a good way to spend time with the family.

 

[Senior KX Rider]

Welcome Todd, there are a good many of us that got out of the sport and were drawn back to it.:)

 

[Tree slayer 67]

Me too was out for a long time. Started out with an XR80 for the kid and a Xr250 for me. Now we both have YZFS, Your gonna have fun. :)

 

[XRpredator]

Welcome to the family,can`t imagin not riding myself-been doing it for over 30 years both on and off road.I have been laid up since Oct. with a broken leg so i can`t imagine taking 15 years off.Once again welcome -don`t miss any chance to ride,you don`t get them back.This has ben the most depressing 4 months i`ve ever spent.

 

[KiwiBird]

Welcome to the fold Lostrider, you have only an inkling of how happily addicted you are to become! You have 3 weeks to get a bike and then post a request in the Ladies Forum, showing true respect for the dainty flowers who reside within it, asking if it might be OK to join the rest of the lunatics in Reno over the weekend of 2/16 and 2/17 for the Ladies Valentine Day's Ride.

 

[desert_racer]

Kiwi... Have you got a blood clot or something..

Half of those "Dainty Flowers" in the Womens forum will ride circles around all of us..:eek:

 

[chadk01]

Welcome Todd. You will find that this is an excellent source for information and a great way to spend your day at work!!!:p :p

 

[crkid]
