First let me say how impressed by this community I am. When I started researching getting a motorcycle over a year ago I stumbled across this site and instantly bookmarked it. Since I made the decision a few months ago to finally get one I've been visiting almost everyday and am always amazed at the quality of the posts the TMW members make.
Thanks to this site I took the advise of many posts and took a novice rider training class, which I passed with flying colors and was well worth it. I was also able to narrow the type of bike, which I finally decided on a 2006 Yamaha V-Star 650 Classic!
So a little about me, I'm 28, living in beautiful Seattle Washington and just picked up my first motorcycle! I work as a Network Administrator for a small company near Gasworks Park and am really excited to be biking!
I wanted to thank all the experienced riders out there that have taken the time to share their expertise with us newbies. It doesn't go unnoticed!

. Have fun riding!! Hope you get some nice weather out there! First nice day I would be riding down WA coast down into Oregon, or up the other way - I bet it would be an incredible ride!
