Hey folks. Just joined the forum. Had been lurking for several months while struggling to properly answer "what state has the greatest land area" when attempting to register. I just assumed it was some type of “brag about the quality of motorcycle riding in your state” section, so I continued to enter Minnesota. Afterall, we have lots of great land to ride in Minnesota! O_o Finally I sent an e-mail and John squared me away that it was an actual, true question about which state has the most land area, so I had to give the correct answer if I wanted to join. LOL.

Bought a 2000 GZ last August after passing the exam. At 37 and with 4 kids I finally decided I wasn't getting any younger or saner, so it was time to start riding a motorcycle like I had been wanting to do for a while. Have been enjoying every moment I get on the bike. It's my daily commuter at about 18 miles each way. Rush hour is a pain, but it's giving me a repeated lesson on proper clutch and throttle control. So I guess it has it's benefits!

Will get picks up at some point.
