Hi Everybody,

I have been bitten the motorcycle bug again. It has been over 15 years since I have had a motorcycle (and it was a three wheeler). Last June 3rd, My wife, Janice and I bought a 185 Honda Twinstar to see if we want to get back into motorcycles. That would be a YES!!!!. A month later I bought a 650 Yamaha V-Star and this past month we got my wife a 2004 Honda Rebel 250. Last fall she went threw the motorcycle safety course and got here "M" on her licence. We really enjoy rides on the back roads of Missouri. I live outside of Kansas City in the town of Blue Springs, Missouri. My son and daughter are grown but my son goes ridding with use. He got a Honda 250 Interceptor last year also. Motorcycle rides are now a family thing. Lot and Lots of fun. We always wear full safety gear when we ride. We have met lots really great people at the bike events we have gone to. I wish we had been riding all a long. I am 53 and having so much fun and so is my wife.
The posts I have seen on the site a GREAT. I hope to take photos and document the trips and add them to your web site.
My next motorcycle will proberly be a Ninja 250. I have been reading too much. I think the motorcycles are like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one.

Thank you very much,
Mike
Blue Springs, Mo.
