I'm Bill in Fort Worth.
Just purchased an 848 to enjoy before my back forces me to ride something more upright.
I haven't had a bike for almost 10 years, so it's been fun getting back into it.
I used to live in Japan and enjoyed riding there, but was quickly reminded of the lack of concern for bikes when I returned to the U.S.
As time went by I missed having a bike more and more, so I got over the worry. More importantly, talked my wife into getting over it...

Hi Bill, glad you could make it to lunch today.  That 848 is awesome (notice I said, "awesome"  and not "cute"  laughingdp  ).

Hope you can make it to some of our other informal get togethers - we're a hyperactive bunch so there's usually something bike-related going on.  If not, we'll just sit around here and BS all day long...

Ride safe.

Bill,

Welcome to the board.  Great choice in bikes to get back into it after so long out of the saddle!  waytogo

Looking forward to meeting you sometime and seeing your new "awesome" 848!
