I am in Lee's Summit, just East of KC.
My Rider's Edge class in 14 April, and my first bike purchase will probably be the day after I am done.

Any others in KC? Stl? LOTO ? Mid Missouri? and elsewhere?

Any Sportster riders? Other H-D? Buell? Or even those riding the fine bikes from faraway places?

Planning any group rides?

Suggestions for fun place to ride to in Missouri?

And whatever else you have to say..........

I'm in Springfield. I just bought a 1998 Honda VLX 600, and it's my first bike. I took the MSF class a few years ago but never got a bike (got the top score in the class, with absolutely ZERO riding experience - probably because I had no bad habits since I didn't have any habits at all

.

Rode for the first time last Sunday, and had a blast! I put about 100 miles on the back with two friends that have been riding for quite a while, and we just explored the back roads of SW MO. Was an awesome experience. I'm hooked!

Sounds great.
Did you have any problems because of the long delay between the class and the first bike?

If anyone comes to the state fair, let me or vulcanman500 know, and we can meet up and ride!

Hey Peeps,

Look at the Chicago area thread (about 2 or so down). That looks like an awesome ride and you guys are close enough to it to meet up with them, you would actually be the start of the TM Mid-West Ride.
I am so jealous!

Stay safe and take care!

Kansas City here. Took my MSF course about a month ago and started out with a new 05 Yamaha Virago 250. Anyone know any groups in the area that ride small bikes or wouldn't mind having a small bike join them?

Hey, Dusty;

I'm a new old rider - retired and back on a bike after 38 years. It's great. I live just west of Gardner (SW of Olathe). Lemme know when and where you'd like to ride and we'll get together.

I ride a Shadow Spirit 1100, but I ain't picky about bike sizes if you're not. Also, FWIW, I've got most of the cold weather gear (no electric), so I'll try anything - at least once.

When the weather is warmer, I'm a two-up rider with my wife.

Gimme a holler - any of you who are within riding distance of the greater KC area.

Kurt
