    First REAL ride

    Well after months and months and countless nights, days, and tons of money.... I have finally finished!
    This weekend I took my first trip out on the Black Beauty.

    Well I wont get to far ahead.... Last sunday I brought the bike over to a fellow XSers pad. Richard (rpgoerlich) Helped me by syncing the carbs.... WOW they were out! After Getting it ridable we went for a quick round the block ride. But, I had to come back since one of my for seals were leaking. Anyways, we wpent most of the day over at Richards house and he was nice enought to cook us some of his Angel fish!

    So we left Richards grinning ear to ear and hauled A$$ back to my place to change out the lowers on the forks to go on that first ride..... and man was it great.

    my buddy has an R1 and by the end of our 11pm sunday night ride he was HURTIN! but not me. I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE

    After riding it constantly everyday, this past laborday weekend I headed to my family renunion at Lake Toledo Bend. This was a good 3 and a half hour ride and man was it rough. Cruising at 80 will wear the Shizzle out of yah. I got to hit some nice mountain twisties and most of the ride was back country roads. That bike handles like a dream, not to mention that I have 2 blown disc in my back and it was a very comfortable ride! After about a week of riding now Im happy to say I have put on 850 Miles!

    Anyways, everyday or night I ride this thing and everyday I love it more. Thanks to all of you who have helped me out and I hope to ride with some of you very soon.

                  Naw, Lee, he said you could do it. He knew what an amazing specimen of athleticism you are.
