Welcome to the cruiser world.

DENNIE · 05-31-2005, 04:57 PM

Howdy!!!
I am new to the site and to motorcycles also.

My name is Denise, I am married and I live in the Dallas, Tx. area. I have a cat and a rabbit, but no kids. I love to do cross stitches and now getting into motorcycles.

I think that is about all for me.

Scourge · 05-31-2005, 05:49 PM

Dennie, Lots of usefull info on this site, and lot's of helpful folks too.

**Trapper** · 05-31-2005, 08:11 PM

Welcome Denise. Do you have a bike yet?

jcgraphics77 · 05-31-2005, 10:25 PM

S'up ya'll? I've been lerking around here for a few days gathering info on my new ride and thought I'd come out of the bushes and say hi. It was a close call between the M50 and 1100 Sabre Shadow. Once I saw the M and how aggressive and sporty she looked I was sucked in fer sure, the fuel injection and drive shaft sealed the deal for me. It handles great. Sometimes I wish it was a little quicker and I don't want to change the exhaust, I really like the stock look and sound. From what I've read here a PC and K&N probably wouldn't make much diff with stock exhaust. True? Yes, no? Anyway, I'm 36, been riding about 25 years dirt and street and love my new ride. Also thinking about some kind of luggage system, saddlebags or sissybar bag??? Decisions, decisions... Btw, if you wave and all I do is nod it's because I'm afraid to take my hands off the controls around all them crazy cagers!

Hows Y'all doing!

SuzukiGirl1 · 06-01-2005, 10:59 AM

Welcome!!!

DENNIE · 06-01-2005, 04:08 PM

No, not yet. But I do have my eye on the Red M50. And I cant wait. All I think about is motorcycle and how soon I can get one. I have to budget money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Clint** · 06-10-2005, 09:45 AM

I haven't been here in a while. Welcome, everyone. Looks like we've gained some valuable members.

b00tlace · 06-15-2005, 05:08 PM

Hi everybody. Just thought I would finally introduce myself. I've been lurking about the place for almost a year and figured it's time. I ride a 96 Katana 750 and put about 10,000 miles since I bought it last July.

I normally hang out over at Squidbusters and lurk on Katriders a little. I probably won't post much but will throw in my .02 every now and then.

**Trapper** · 06-15-2005, 06:31 PM

That's some serious lurking. You owe us some input for entertaining you for a year

Yeah, I have to post up quick too. If I keep posting at this rate, I wont become a bridal boutique manager before I die.

Just5cents · 06-16-2005, 09:31 AM

Well im not new but im back...i decided to wait until i got my learners before i came back so Im happy to be back!

btw, I busted the front rim real bad last summer too so theres another reason lol!

Goldfish · 06-18-2005, 10:43 AM

Well hello to all. I'm new here. Yes my 93 Gixxer 600 is my first bike, yes I have heard it all... I left Gixxer.com because all they had to do or say was make fun and harrass newbies that bought an R bike for a first bike, instead of welcoming new people to the world of biking. I have owned it 1-2 months now, not sure how long, and am loving every minute of riding it. I bought it from a former co-worker so I know a little about the bike and its upkeep and I figured that a good thing to know as opposed to getting something that will be in the shop for 2 months after owning it one month (my friend). Thats a little about me, hope I like it here better than that other site.

**Uncle Bob** · 06-19-2005, 12:18 PM

Well, we aren't too keen on newbies with R bikes here either.

Since you already bought it based on some flawed logic that an actual race bike would be a good learning tool !!!!!!

Hope you stick around and get as much info as you can so you don't become another statistic.

Welcome.

Goldfish · 06-20-2005, 12:30 AM

Flawed logic? I wanted a sport bike, and wasn't going to get a new bike that I WOULD kill myself on. As much fun as the bike is, it just starts to kick in at 6000 rpm, the real power is at 11, and it redlines at 13, so i'm never really into the gas all that much. Yes I know it may not be the perfect bike to learn on, but I like it. It was cheep, I know its in good condition, and isn't going to leave me at the light with the bike flying down the street when I pull back on the throttle. I did put some thought into what bike I should get. Like I said, it may not be perfect, but I like it.

Goldfish · 06-20-2005, 12:32 AM

Oh, and to add a little... My bike isn't much more than a Katana with diff fearings really. I wouldn't call it too much of a race bike, IMO.

Scourge · 06-20-2005, 03:48 AM

and good luck.
