Talking 'Lo from Cincinnati!

Hi All,

Since this is the New Member Intro's forum, thought I'd introduce my new-member-self.

Been a rider for around 3-4 yrs now. I ride a 2003 BMW K1200GT - mostly for commuting, LD riding, and a few trips down to TN/NC.

I've only been riding for a relatively short time, but I feel like I've finally found that lil piece of me that seemed to have been missing (don't tell my wife I said that!!)

I'm fairly active in the "other" forums - K-Bike, LD Riders, IBA, etc. I came across the forum while searching for info on the new B King bike.

I look forward to talking with everyone while learning and getting a different perspective on riding!

It's definitely an odd name - can't quite figure out the reason for it that's for sure!

My (now-postponed) Alaska to Key West trip was slated to be done on a 650 V-Strom. Having a 2nd kid tends to do that to ya!
