Hey folks,
I just bought my first motorcycle. After everyone thinking I already rode motorcycles based on my appearance, I figured I'd live up to the hype. I hang out with a lot of motorcycle enthusiasts (mostly harley guys, but I'm not investing that much in my first bike.) It's a 1980 GS450. It's not in the greatest of shape, so I'm rebuilding it. I've already started the thread in the rebuild section. The plan is to take the safety courses offered at the local college, get my license, get the bike legal with the MVA, and all before I ever am even able to ride it. Temptation is a wicked mistress, and I'd like to keep her at bay.
Oh! About me. I'm pretty awesome. Just ask me. I did 10 years in the Army. I did three tours. 1 as a Cavalry Scout in Bosnia. 2 as an AH64 Apache electrician in Iraq. After leaving the military, I used the hell out of the GI bill. I now have three Bachelor's Degrees. One in Political Science, one in Law & Society (criminal justice, basically) and one in Parks and Recreation Management. I snowboard, kayak, mountain bike, hike, hunt, fish (don't catch much, but that's not the point), play video games, and just about anything else that gives me an excuse to be away from civilization. Oh, and I'm 37, never married, no kids. All my money goes towards me, or the dogs I foster from the local shelter until they find a permanent home. Yeah. I'm that awesome.
What am I not awesome at? Working on motorcycles. I'm completely new to this. I recognize this, and appreciate all the help I can get in this area. So feel free to impart your knowledge on me. Or, not. Your choice.
