New member from the Buckeye state. My ride is an '05 silver 650. Bought her used (gently broken in *winks*) and loving every ride we take together. Only additions/farkle have a Bestem topbox, hump bag and Kuryakyn grips (love these). Also have a 4 to 1 adapter for the electrical outlet.
Favorite rides to take are those that follow Lake Erie, either short or long. This past summer rode wtih a friend (Harley 1200) up into Canada to camp out a few days. Followed the Lake Erie Coastal (turns into PA's Seaway Trail, then once into Canada, the QEW. I am currently looking at soft luggage for future trips.
I enjoy working on my scoot and hope to contribute to and gain more knowledge from the maintenance section of the forum.
While waiting for Spring, I am currently spending the winter months updating my living room: painting walls, trim, baseboards, and refinishing the wood floors. Oh, and looking for more farkle for 'Lola' because whatever Lola wants, Lola gets *chuckles*.
On my current list of wants: soft luggage and maybe GPS.
My gear: Nolan flip-up, Joe Rocket Suzuki Supersport Replica textile jacket, leather chaps, Vanson Vent Max jacket (acquired this winter), and Tourmaster First Response boots. I have my eye on River Road's Roaster leather jacket (yeah, I'm a jacket freak). I need to replace my gloves. I have another jacket and overpants, but lost weight last year and they don't fit now. Also have some half helmets, but I need to sell stuff first 'cause I'm digging those Nexx helmets I eyed at the International Motorcycle Show in Cleveland last month. Guess I like helmets too. I bought a full face just for the paint job (WWII 8th Airforce with nose art graphics). I wore it once or twice, but consider it more art than gear (to the chagrin of my girlfriend who thinks it would be weird for me to display it on a shelf, lol).
Looking forward to getting to know everyone here.
