New Guy from Modesto CA USA
« on: March 05, 2011, 09:37:03 PM »
Just picked up a 75 Honda CB400F. Its in very good condition, but not pristine. So before I jump into it with a dremel and my checkbook I thought I'd hang out here for awhile as this site was recommended by the folks over at ADVRIDER.

In the past I've owned several BMWs, 2 Moto Guzzis, a couple of Ducatis and some Japanese bikes. By far my favorites have been the Guzzis (01 V11 Sport and a 04 V11 Copa Italia). However my current ride is a more practical 07 Suzuki VStrom DL650A. I'm active on the Stromtrooper site under my same unimaginative name.

I've just touched sixty and am looking to retire very soon from a 30 year career in law enforcement. I grew up on military bases around the world. Married, three children. Youngest son is in Carleton College in Minnesota and my younger daughter is in Chile. Older daughter is married in Seattle.

Pitifully, that sums me up...oh yeah, I enjoy puppy dogs and lonely walks along the beach  ::)
