Judging from the way I've seen tires and favorites spelled in the short time I've been browsing around I'd guess this is a British site? Just curious.
A little bit about me:
I've been riding for almost four years. It would have been much longer as I've wanted a bike since I was a kid but personal reasons conspired to keep me off of two wheels until I was twenty-six.
I've been casually following WSBK and MotoGP for a couple of years now - I watched the Ewan McGregor narrated documentary about Troy Bayliss and I was hooked, what a great film and what a fantastic rider and person Troy Bayliss is - but this is the first year I bought the video pass on MotoGP's website; living in the U.S. it's the only way I know of to be able to watch the races. The only racing we get on the major networks is that god-awful NASCAR .........
I guess you'll be wanting to know what bikes I've owned. I'd like to preface that information by saying that I'm not a Kawasaki loyalist. Despite that my only two bikes have both been Kawasakis; the main reason being that new bike dealerships are scarce in my area and I like the people at this dealership. My first bike - and the one I still have - is a Kawasaki Ninja 650r, or ex650 for those of you who live in countries that have a more sophisticated motorcycling culture and therefore don't need nonsensically sexy names to sell bikes. My second bike was a KLX250SF that I've since sold. It was a great bike and a lot of fun but I just didn't have time for two bikes. If I could do it all over again I would have bought the Versys, the best of both bikes in my opinion, but I do love my 650.
So yeah, I'm excited about the season and I hope to be involved in some thought provoking discussions here on the forum.
Oh, one more thing; I don't know what it is but I really really really can't stand Jorge Lorenzo. He makes me want to punch somebody in the face.
