I just got my first streetbike today (02 yamaha FZ1) but i dont have anyone to ride with. My brother has a bike also but hes in the process of trying to sell it. Does anyone know of any "biker hangouts" or rides or anything?

thanks,
devin

I disagree with that....You should ride with someone to start out with. Just in case something goes wrong, you have someone there to help you out, also It is always easier to follow someone elses lead, and learn from the other riders. Once you get some experience under your belt you will do fine. Besides I find it alot more fun to ride with others, everytime I go ride by my self I think it gets boring after a while.

Just let them know that you are a new rider and don't go faster than you are comfortable going. :luck:

:welcome: Capt D! :sorry: these guys are jacking your thread!

Bull you have no idea what you're talking about! You NEVER ride 110% when riding in a group! Just plain STUPID!

Let's see what else were you way off based about.... :scratch:

If you roll up onto a group... they are going to get offended if you try to dust them and they are going to want to show off!!! UM NO!!! :bonk:

The only you said that was right... was that you should be comfortable with yourself and your riding, before you try to ride with a group!

:sorry: Bull but you are just wrong and have no idea :wtf: you are talking about when it comes to group riding!

Whats this board come to when Bull is giving advice. LMAO :bash:

At any rate to the guy in Iowa. Just look for other bikers and ask them where they hang out or if they ride with groups. I am sure even Iowa has some sportbike clubs.

Anyone ever see the movie "White Boyz" about the kids from Iowa. Freekin hilarious!!! :jacked: :jacked:

Member BRUCELEE is getting ready to leave Arizona for his home back in Iowa. I am sure you will be seeing a lot of that squid, er..., that guy near the end of June.
I visited Norwalk and the surrounding area last year. Great looking place.
If I could do without the ocean being more than 3 hours away, I would move there.

Brucelee...you mean Daniel Son's uncle bruce? :lol:

130 :screwy: Life is just starting at 130. I'll hit 130 to merge onto the h/w...

Seriously, I showed DJ all about that when we went to PA last fall!

The best is when you turn around at 130-135 and look back like where is everybody! :lol:
