Hey everybody, just signed up and figured I'd make myself known. I'm Dave, and I recently moved down to the Columbia area in SC from the Hudson Valley NY.
I've been riding for about 5 years on the street and now that I'm somewhere with decent year round weather I wanted to expand my riding skills. A little background, I started out on an 89 ninja 600 that was a street fighter when I got it, about a year later I was gifted with a ninja 250 and I rode the hell out of that thing. In the fall of 2019 I bought an MT09 after saving up all of the money I saved from quitting cigarettes.
I used to have some really good skills on the road and was usually at the head of the groups I rode with until my sister experienced a traumatic accident while I was out riding with her and her boyfriend. Ever since then I've been trying to regain my confidence and rationalize that with the proper practice and skill training I can be a smooth rider again. I know getting onto a track with some training will help.
Looking forward to getting out there and meeting some new people, it's been kind of dull since I moved.
