Hello everyone, My name is gianfranco and I am from monterey, CA. figured i post a tread to introduce myself. I really like the formate of this site. and a lot of the posts are quite helpfull. On to what Im riding. I have a 1999 honda shadow vlx deluxe. The four speed really pisses me off but besides that i love the bike(plus i only paid 1600 for it) I was riding a 1984 kawasaki
KZ-550 until a 17 year old girl turned right into me while i was going though a stop light. i went over the handle bars but didnt get hurt. My bike was a different story. Well anyways hi everyone.

PS.anyone who wants to ride and lives near Monterey hit me up. I will never turn down a ride if im not working.

Welcome Gianfranco. If I'm not mistaken that's an Italian name. Monterey is a very cool place. I love it there, and there's a lot of great riding, such as Hwy 1 down to Big Sur, or up in the Carmel hills and Valley area. Hope you get some riding done this spring.

I wish I could ride HWY 1.

Been a dream of mine for a while now.
Maybe one day...
