Just wanted to say hi. Been riding for well over 40 years. Still not sick of it yet :) Current ride is a 25 year old maxim 1100. Ole bike for an ole biker.

Hi olebiker

Glad to have you on board.

Be nice to know a little bit about you if you feel like telling us.

Keep posting.

Ok I am 55 yrs old married to a gal that rides another maxium (xs400) I ride an 1100. I starting riding and working on motorcycles when I was 13. I used to ride in competition (Endro and trials). I have owned many makes but I got thinking the other day I have never had a BMW ( almost bought one in 76 but the bank wasn't cooperating). I have ridden most places in Canada and the US. Used to pull a monster tent trailer (slept 4 and had a kitchen) nowadays I ride as much as I can but not as far as I once did. The maxim is not a touring bike so I am good for about six or so hours in the saddle. Makes me feel good to ride and maintain 25 yr old bikes. Can't think of much else thats MC related. Nice to meet you all.
