Hello from Wisconsin

#1 Unread post by bikerbill59 »

Just stopping by to say hello. Took the MSF course in August 2005 and bought my first bile a shadow 600 in September. Right now its asleep in the garage on a battery tender till spring. Can't wait to get it out and fire up the engine again.

Welcome bikerbill59!

Too bad about the weather! Roll on Spring eh!

103F here today!

Went out riding yesterday in 110F Heat!

I don't think I'd like riding in the cold too much, at least not in the snow! :?

hello, and welcome. I too am from the great state of Wisconsin, so I can sympathize with the "bike in the garage on the battery tender thing". I ride a vstar 650....got it this past spring '05....your about to enter a whole new world...hope you enjoy it :)

Welcome to the forum, well since I am further north I will have to wait a little while currently is 22 degrees F and 2 foot of snow.

Nice to see other metric cruisers in the area. Wausau Motorsports is organizing a riders group to have a bike night every Wednesday at Gullivers this summer. Maybe we'll see you there!
