Hello everybody.

I just found this board 2 days ago and was looking around a bit. Looks very good and relatively new also.

My name is Brad. I am from Southern California. I am 32 years old and got my 1st motorcycle when I was 3 1/2 years old (for christmas). My dad wanted to get me into riding at a young age because he used to do some racing and was in the same motorcycle club as Steve McQueen back in the 50's. Well That 1st bike was a Honda MR 50 (Yes a MR). It was not like the automatic kid bikes of today. This thing had a clutch and 3 speed tranny. I spent about 4 years on that bike til i moved up to a Honda XR 80.

When i was 13 I got a Yz 125. I did some Enduro racing with this bike. Most the racing was in the CRC and FRA racing curcuits. I tried out motorcross, but that took too much commitment and time (and money).

Well anyway. I have been riding for about 29 years now. I just recently purchased my 04 R6 and love it so far. I am 6'1" and 165lbs. IEven at my height I find the bike very comfortable and a blast to ride.

Well just stopping by to say HI! I added my bike to the gallery if anyone wants to take a look.

good choice and welcome

Hey i like your leathers. What brand and is it a two peace or one?

Thanks guys.

The leathers are Yamaha Factory Racing. Its a 2 piece that zippers together. They are very comfortable and breathe great. They made me a deal on them i couldn't refuse (40% off).

Im guessin the dealer have u that price when u got the bike?

Yeah. When i got the bike they threw in a bunch of stuff and that price on the suit. They said it had been in the shop for a while. I guess not alot of people wear 44's. The white leather around the ankels was a little dirty, but you cant see it with my boots on anyways.
