New guy
« on: July 16, 2017, 08:37:21 PM »
Hello, everyone. My name is Matt. I'm 36 years old and I live in Portland, Oregon and I'm brand new to the motorcycling world. A week ago I was searching craigslist for a good first bike and I ended up with a 1981 CB650C with 22,000 miles. I got it home and before the engine had even cooled off, I ordered a MAC 4 into 1 exhaust. I passed the Team Oregon motorcycle safety class three weekends ago and tomorrow I'm going to DMV to take the knowledge test and get my endorsement. I can't wait to start riding! I look forward to interacting with all of you in the future. Take it easy.  :D

 Thank you!  I started a project thread for my bike. I'm really going to be seeing a lot of my UPS guy in the next few weeks.  8)
