How did you find this group and what made you interested in checking it out?

This got me thinking....how did people find their way to this forum.  I found it thru being a member of the yahoo group anymor.  I have to admit since this forum started up I don't really keep up on the actual yahoo group.

So how did others find their way here?

General Banter / Re: Why are they not wearing gloves???

That was a pretty decent post Vander.  It is interesting to see how much on-line forums can impact things off-line.

When I started riding I got the gear that I thought would protect me in the event of a crash.  Of course it helped I was working at a shop & had access to the reps so I could ask a lot of questions about not only what was good but what I could get the best deal on as well!!  Since I started riding fashion or trends have not impacted my choice in what gear to buy or wear.

But thats what works for me...may not be the same for everyone out there.

It amazes me too that people don't wear gloves.  I'll have to pay more attention to this.

I know what Ray & others are saying about the lack of quality glove options out there.  Sure there are a lot of choices but many of them are cheaply made & don't last very long like others also said.

I have a pair of Vanson Talon gloves I bought 10+ years ago & just this season they wore thru the palm on both and the thumb on the left hand.  I got them custom made with my choice of color for like $110 back in 2000 but the same glove today is going to cost me over $200.

Given how long the last pair lasted I have no problem spending the higher price since I know they will last & are very good quality.

Thank you for that!!  I just reposted it on craigslist also so we'll see what happens.  I have already had a half dozen e-mails & a few text/phone calls.  Guess since summer is almost here people are finally getting the itch!!

Thoughts & prayers out to him & his family while he recovers.  I don't think I've met him yet but from the sounds of it he is a strong person.  Get well soon...even if you miss the rest of this season, make sure you heal up fully so you can enjoy the rest of the seasons ahead of you!!

Glad you found your way on here.  I've had a blast riding with the people I've met thru MSTA.  I'm sure you'll see a bunch of long distance rides posted this season!!

Welcome Joe.  I've ridden down that way a few times but wouldn't mind exploring it more.  One of these times in St. Peter I'm gonna get the Chuck Norris burger at a burger joint down there.  Look forward to meeting you on a ride sometime.

Welcome....I'm new to this group myself for the most part.  I rode with some of the people last season but this year I hope to get more involved & put some rides on of my own.  Look forward to meeting you.

Glad you found your way over here Martin.  I'll be posting most of my rides on here this year so watch for them.  Most all the rides I've been on that people have hosted from here have been awesome.  Great bunch of people that are down to earth & like to put miles on!!!

I do the same thing driving a cage.....quick eyes.

Very true....since I started riding I drive my car differently and in most cases more cautiously.  I know I am much more observant in the car now than I ever was before I started riding motorcycles.

Hey Matt....love the Buell flag flying below the US one!!  Someone that is in my Guard unit lives in St. Cloud & rides a Buell.  Not sure how much she gets out but I'll pass the word on to her about your club rides.  Look forward to meeting & riding with you.

Well new ad is on craigslist but nothing really has changed with the bike.  I did get it going for the season & it's in tip top shape.  If anyone knows of someone looking for a bike like this please give them my number.

Thanks!!

Bike looks great Andy...glad its finally done & you can get out riding again.  The tire is just a minor set back so don't let that get ya too much.  Glad you made your way on here.  I agree with you...a lot of the rides I've done with Ray, Lloyd, TK, Jon, Vince, & others have been great.

Like I told ya on the phone...since I'm working M-F during the day, when I get to put on miles I want it to be a lot each time.  This is definitely the place for that!!
