Name's Ross,
I've been riding for 25 years.
I am addicted to bikes.

I have owned many bikes.  Maybe 25 or so.
I have raced or ridden almost everything out there.
I currently own a track-prepped '07 ZX6-R (tarmac), '05 RMZ450 (supermoto), and '05 KX250 (mx).

The KX 2-smoker is the only bike that I have ever ridden in my life that scares me.
It is a dangerous machine.
I tried buying it nice gifts, like a flywheel weight and taller gearing, hoping it would calm down.
No dice.

My bikes are kept very clean.  I maintain them well.
I only put the best shit on my bikes.  Spend the extra money, do it right.
I love my bikes.

I ride much less than I'd like to.
Crazy work hours, family obligations, and inconvenience of long travel to get to racetracks.

I haven't ridden on the street in many, many years.
Except for when I go on vacation with my wife.
We always rent a HD, and have lots of fun.
They don't like it when I return their bikes with scraped pipes and floorboards.

I am in the market for a used HD, not so sure which exact model,,
but I'm narrowing it down to a bagger.
Probably a Road King.

This website looks cool, and I look forward to learning a lot here.
Maybe I'll end up finding a good deal on a used bike here?

Thanks.
