#1 Unread post by jus4plamichigan »

I have been away from bikes for 20+ years..I thought I would try it again. Bought 2 used Honda's in the last week. Both need some work. '84 Nighthawk S 700 & a '86 Shadow VT1100..Look's like less work on the Shadow....I have been on a snowmobile site for awhile and that is fun..I have 5 of them.....I do not post much, but read alot.....I am always looking for info on what I am working on.....Glad 2 b here.....

Welcome, Dave.

I never posted much on the other forums I was in either, until I came here. :wink: I think you'll find this is a place where conversations occur in these forums much the same way a friendly talk might progress at the end of one of your snowmobile rides. 8)

Get yourself in a rider course, to get the old skills back. And keep us posted on how you're doing with your bikes!

Hey Dave! Another guy from Lansing, MI, huh? Maybe we can cruise sometime, and you can teach me a thing or two about bikes. ;) Which part of town are you from?

Welcome aboard! Wow, lots of Michiganders showing up. We should all do a TMW Great Lakes/Midwest Meetup sometime. Enjoy the website.

Cheers,
