Hello from Southeast Missouri

drur · 07-15-2010, 06:08 PM

New to the forum and I currently own/ride a 2004 Vulcan Nomad and a 2007 Ninja 650r (yes I am a through and through Kawasaki guy). I live in Cape Girardeau MO which is right on the Mississippi River about 110 miles south of St Louis.

I have an addiction to motorcycles but at least I admit it. Not looking to get over it anytime soon either.

I ride darn near every day that it is above 40 degrees (heck I ride when it is below that but can't say I enjoy it). I've done an Iron Butt (SS1000) on my Ninja and like racking up the miles with trips to The Dragon, Blue Ridge Parkway and some of the awesome roads down in NW Arkansas. It isn't unusual for my riding group to average 500-600 miles a day on these trips.

If you see my bike on a trailer, please call 911. It has been stolen.

I'll get some pics posted soon...

Looking forward to becoming a contributing member on the forum!

Thank you sir! I appreciate the welcome.

I forgot to mention I am new to this v-twin/cruiser thing. I started out on sport bikes so this is a new adventure for me. Bought the Vulcan (got a great deal on it) back in February. I've gotten the thumbs up approval from my wife who wasn't exactly happy on the back of the Ninja but asks to go on rides quite often on the Vulcan.

Welcome from Ohio. Like the line about your bike on a trailer, I'll have to steal that to use on my Harley friends.
