AwesomePossum Posted February 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2010 Hello Everyone! New Gnu @ the Watering Hole......first order of business......where are the lions?? Gotta keep an eye out for them!! Seriously tho'. I had my trial subscription for abt a week and found so much to offer I felt guilty taking it for free, so dropped my $12 and became a member. Last Oct. I bought a 98 Royal Star Standard from a friend of a friend. I'd ridden before but this is my 1st big cruiser. AND I'M LOVIN IT!! She was well taken care of but ridden seldom (only 6k miles)and the owner bought another bike so this one had to go. $3K later and I was riding her home. Looking forward to getting to know and hopefully meeting/riding with some of you. Hoping for a get-to-gether in FL so I can see some of the other great rides on here in person (and steal ideas!!). Once again, Nicetameecha. AwesomePossum (a.k.a. Keith) p.s. The chatroom is verrry cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 6, 2010 Well plenty of riding to be had. There's a meet scheduled for May 8th here's the link http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43074 Plus there's lots of others, but I figured I'd let you know of one in FL. Glad you joined up, we are a fun bunch and act just like family. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomePossum Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks Maragret. I don't know what I'll be doing on May 8th, but now I have something to plan on. Ghost looks like a:sign kewl: cat!! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2010 Share #4 Posted February 6, 2010 Ghost thinks he's a dog, to be exact he thinks he's a pit bull. I have a pit and he's actually one of her cats. She really loves her cats, gets upset if she hears a cat fight so we have to go out and make sure they are ok. There's three now, Ghost brought home his girlfriend and their kid. Oh and they are all gray. As far as meets and such check out the forum page and scroll down to where the rallies and meets are. Might have some more planning to do.
