    Hi all!

    Hello everyone!
    My name is Brian, AKA Gimpy (due to my sinature limp) I'm new to this place, and fairly new to motorcycles. I started riding about a year ago... started as a car enthusiast, but now into bikes and damn it is addicting!

    Currently riding an '05 R6. Hoping to take it to the track soon, cuz the streets are not suitable for such awesome machines!

    Best regards to all you fellow enthusiasts!

    Zip code in his profile says Toledo. So come on with our other TSBR friends to Grattan!

    You're absolutely right about these ultra-capable machines on the street.

    Yup, you'll fit right in, and if you're wanting to try the track, there'd be no better place than our event at Grattan at the end of June. And you're close!!

    Grattan is my goal. I will be there if I can get my 350z sold in time so I have the money. I put in for vacation that week already, jus waiting to see if it's approved.
