...im still at it! lets start @ the beginning...

when i first signed up for my MSF course, i could hardly wait for it to start. i had previously wanted to ride a motorcycle. and by previously i mean since i was like 9 years old. i had checked the evergreen saftey website and had checked their schedule, boy were classes filling up quick. when i checked they were all full til july. this is back in early march. i was so dissapointed, cause i wanted to ride soon as possible! and me never being on a bike before, wanted to take the class before i did anything. well one day, i checked it just for shits and giggles, and blam, there was one spot open for a late march MSF class, omg click cick! sweet i got it! i couldnt even sleep that night, so many thoughts of awesomeness were going through my mind MSF class was awesome in every way. even took my ride test in the snow... (different story, different time haha ) after i got my endorsment i was on the hunt for a bike. there was only one bike i was looking for, that 08 ninja 250. i had called so many places, and they were of course sold out, understandably. a few weeks go by and i stroll down to the bellevue kawa dealer, and what do you know, they got 2 ninjas right there on the floor. me in my excitement start foaming at the mouth and immediately find a sales person (frank i think). i was an easy customer.

paid cash out the door, got a decent price and more importantly was extremely excited to have my own bike.

not long after that, maybe even a few days before, i found this website, (PNWriders) and this was my new icrack. i checked it constantly.

i really only used the motorcycle to commute to and from work, but was having such a great time on it i decided to post a ride and was astounded by the number of ppl that showed. omg i was hooked. the friendly people, great attitudes, how could you not.

...since then, ive done a few more rides, met a lot of new faces, made some more friends, learned some new backroads, got some GREAT tips on riding and staying safe, and realized how much of a great time i have on this moto. theres nothing i can say that can truley express how i feel on a bike, but "pure joy" does come to mind.

i finally hit 1000 miles after i got back from leavenworth on 5/17, which i had the awesome company of Jason (MichelinMan) Victoria (LaDamaRia) and another rider which i forget his name :( i rode back solo since they were on route to East meets west, but the trip home was so relaxing.

Choosing to ride a motorcycle is by far the best thing that has happened to me in quite awhile. Thank you everyone who has made this experience possible.

RIDE SAFE! BE SAFE!

    Yep, you're addicted. Better start looking for a twelve-step program.

    I'm thinking that with your first blog post you filled your intro space. That's why there's a cap on how many characters you can use. You may want to Cut/Copy/Paste that text into its own blog post and write a new intro or with ever blog post people will see "...im still at it! lets start @ the beginning...
    etc., etc., etc.

    Just a heads-up.
