Title: Cheers from Portland, OR.
Post by: mars_bd on July 23, 2008, 06:44:26 PM
I've been lurking around here a couple months now, so I'd like to say 'hello'.

One day at the beginning of this summer, a curious glance at the MCY section on Craig's List turned into hours of studying (bikes, riding techniques, etc.) and before I knew it, a lifelong fascination with motorcycles had evolved into something of an obsession.  Shortly thereafter, a friend let me take his trusty Honda Rebel for a spin around the neighborhood; within about 20 feet I was hooked.  I quickly tracked down the Monster that had caught my eye that first day on C.L. and here I am almost 2000 miles later: learning to ride and loving every moment of it.

Thank you for the great information, shared experience and encouragement you all provide here!

Cheers,
Andy
