Hey there boys & girls

[orionburn]

Hey all. Finally decided to get off my arse and get back on some of my old stomping grounds. Didn't realize that last time I posted on here was back in '08! Took a quick glance around and nice to see most of the crew is still around.  

Still got the Bandit and FZR and hoping to get back in the grove this year and get another track day in. I had to have knee surgery in Dec 08 and after that it triggered arthritis that must have been lurking. Started with a simple case of gout, but quickly went downhill from there. We've managed to get it under control finally, but unfortunately the damage to my toe is permanent and can only move about 50% of what it used to.

Hope ya'll have been doing well over this past year.

Good to see you're still hanging in there...    back.

Good to see you back, Orion. Glad to hear your health issues are (mostly) under control.

hoping to get back in the grove this year

I hope that's not some kind of Freudian slip there.....
trees can do nasty things to bikes and bods.

Good to hear from you!  Time flies when you're having...uh...gout?!

[orionburn]

Good to see more people are around than I thought. I thought I scared everybody away cause this place was a ghost town the week after I started this thread. 

I was finally able to get the Bandit out on Friday...right before the weather turned cold & rainy again.  Itching to get back out again now that I've gotten a taste for being on the road after winter.

Welcome back Orion

The board has been a little slow, but picking up now as we all start thinking about riding.
