New from Michigan
« on: September 01, 2025, 04:51:50 AM »
Hey everybody, I just got here from Michigan and glad to be aboard. I've always had 4 cylinder Bikes, however I sold my Goldwing last month and currently have an 81 Yamaha SR250 Exciter1. Before long I expect to pick up a 500-750 of what ever make/model I come across.
Thanks for allowing me to join!

Welcome from NC!

Good Luck on your search......

I have a 750 and a 550, enjoy both but each one is better in their own way.

Welcome Bushyrider.  Usually lots of stuff for sale in Michigan.  I am in Kalamazoo.  Hit me up if you are close and/or need help finding something or getting that something running, riding, or looking good.
If it works good, it looks good...

Thanks... Muskegon and Ludington are some favorite rides for me, the beaches are so beautiful.
