New Guy On Board

JimCulp · 09-06-2008, 10:29 PM

Hi. I'm a new member, and I've been addicted to motorcycles since I was 14. I'm 57 now, have a GL1500 with more than 200,000 miles on it, and I've ridden a little bit of everything over the years.

I was an MSF Instructor and Rider Coach for five years but retired from that a few years ago. I'm a proud alum of the California Superbike School, and a two time Iron Butt Rally finisher.

I love to ride, read about and discuss any motorcycle related topic, anytime.

Up until now, I was the second oldest here, but thanks to you I feel much younger...by 12 days! Thanks.

Oh, and WELCOME to the Addiction!

Some GLs are more comfortable than my sofa at home, and they're definitely faster.
