Greetings from San Antonio

#1 Unread post by Biker Medic »

Hi one an all!
I'm a brand new (still in the shrink wrap, bar code across my rear) rider. I took the MSF class last weekend to see if riding is a skill I could learn and got the bug. I got my card Sunday, found a 'used' bike on Monday, got my drivers license endorsed Tuesday, loan check arrived Wednesday, bringing my baby home to Daddy on Thursday.
Being an 'old school' guy, I opted for a cruiser - Yamaha V Star Custom. It's a 2007, one owner...get this - 8 Miles on the clock. Poor fella got his license, bought the bike, had a Doctors appointment and was promptly banned from riding due to medical condition. I feel bad for the guy because riding got snatched from him, but his bad luck became my good. CARPE BIKEM, I guess.
Anyway - I look forward to learning from everyone - the right AND the wrong ways of biking 8)

You are right "2173" they were at it when I was there. And it just got worse. When I come into SA now I use the road that goes to sea world I want to say 351. And then west 90 to 35 south.
