Hello

Off-topic Newbies

Name is Ryan. I am in Kansas in the US(long ways away). Thought your forum looked like great fun so I joined up.

Oh and I been riding on the street about 3yrs now. I ride a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6e(usually known in Europe as the ZZR). Hope to be upgrading in the spring though!

I have been to London a few times on business and always enjoyed myself! Hope to return in the future for pleasure rather then business.

Hi and welcome aboard.

Hey Ryan, welcome to LB! We’ve got a few State-side members, so you’re not alone!

What’s the riding weather over there right now?

5

Really nice in Kansas. Weather was about 80degrees last week. About 65degrees this week. Very warm weather for this part of the country this time of year. Usually I ride until January hits and then it is just too much salt and ice on the roads till spring hits in April. I try to post up some ride pics in the future!

Thanks for the warm welcome :slight_smile:

Welcome!

I must admit to a bit of jealousy though, when I rode to work yesterday morning it was ~36f, but at least it was dry.

Hey there Redsaki…I think LB member KSGregman is in your area :unsure:

When your next in London, hire a bike and come and meet us at Borough Market or the Ace. :wink:

Hey Afro - Yes KSGregman is pretty close to me. I live in Topeka and he is in Wichita from what I read in his profile I think… If thats right he lives about 2hrs drive from me. I love his Zuki 750! Hopefully I’ll get to meet him or ride with him in the future!?

I don’t know what I’ll get next… I am trying to make up my mind. I do like the Suzuki GSXR 600 or maybe the 750. But I am also really interested in the SV1000 as well. Tuff decisions! I know the GSXR600 would be enough of a boost in power to probably satisfy me as I am bored with my old ZZR. But the ZZR type bikes a little bigger and I think I like that. Also afraid I might get bored quick with the 600cc GSXR. 750 might keep me happy longer :wink:

Topeka, KS has a great track for bikes -

I haven’t done a track day yet but a lot of my friends have rode it. Maybe I can get a Kansas track day challenge going between ole KSGregman and myself :cool: :slight_smile:

Next time I am in London I would love to hire a bike for meet up with you guys. In the past I was usually around for a few weeks and would just use the tube but a bike and meeting some of you would be great! I’ll warn everyone I am coming before my next visit!
