My real name is Hope and I live in the Twin Cities but currently deployed overseas in Germany (so won't be at any rides/events this year). I first started learning to ride on an 06' GSX-R 600 in 2008. I learned a little but didn't get much seat time and am still very new. I don't have the GSX-R anymore but I do have a 4-wheeler I just picked up. In Germany they can be made street legal, which mine is, so I'm learning to ride it and taking it out on the roads now too. I heard about this site from Tumbler and recognize a few other names here. I hope to keep meeting new people and learning more about riding.
