I'm usually down to ride when I'm free...but that seems to be not much recently.

Our group of riding buddies while is a decent number rarely ever goes out that much.

Uh, not that I would know.

Why would you quit "showing your face" at trackdays over some broad? Fuck her.

And that chick u dated doesn't run socalmoto.org.

I hate having to count on others... but it'd be nice to have some like minded people near me that are always down for a ride...

oh well.. only a couple years left here... then hopefully I'll be headed out west where dual sport dreams are made

Find your local BMW MOA group.

what about Sfarson? isn't he right in your area?

I do a good deal of both. Dont mind either. I go thru phases where I prefer one over the other.

I'll wait till I get the BMW... and I'll probably just look for ADV members near me...

besides... I already know where the starbucks is...

Most of them ride more than just BMWs and a lot of groups know some cool shit to ride to and will help you out. Had a guy come over and pretty much teach me the entire 12k service today. Valves/oil/abs/final drive/tranny fluid/belts/throttle bodies/cables/clutch fluid/brake fluid. Pretty good day.

I don't really have the money to go out and ride right now... I'm try'n to lay as low as I can right now and save $.

this weekend I emptied my storage and used the Uhaul to buy $300 worth of groceries so I could pack my lunch and save $.
