Title: new rider
Post by: hurricane on April 13, 2011, 08:47:23 PM
[img]Hey, I have recently gotten my first bike, 1987 Hurricane 600.  I have wanted a bike for a while and finaly gotten one. Its a decent bike, fast enough for me, for now. lol. I have been riding it for about the last 3 months, and I feel pretty comfortable on it.  I was thinking about trying to get into a MC, but not sure if its for me, then i stumbled onto your website, and like what I have been seeing.  I know a few guys in a MC, and they are really cool guys, but im still not sure if thats what I want.   For nowI ride with a couple of buddys of mine, and that is pretty fun, but I havent taken a longer trip yet.  so if you guys have any info about any thing that would be appreciated, and I would deffinetly like to go on a trial run with you guys some time.  Anyways, thanks for reading and hope to see you on the road soon.  J.

well thanks for the welcomes, im looking forward to seeing all of you soon, I am stoked for a longer drive.  Cant wait to see how much gas milage i get on my bike, its been kinda low around town, but i have been riding it a little hard, so i think it will do a lot better on the highway, lol.  I have recentley had it worked on and gotten the carbs redone and synced, so it should be up to the ride.  Ill see you all soon.  J.
