Guess I am here now too - Doc4216 - 05-03-2022
Hello All,
Coming over from our other conversation room, incase the doors get locked.
Purchased a used 2016 with only 7500 miles early 2019 and fell quickly in love with the perfect bike for me. I have put about 8k trouble free miles on it and have zero plans of ever getting rid of it. This is my 11th bike and the one that checks all the boxes.
Currently in NE Ohio, AD military so we will see how long I get to stay here.
Thanks for having me!

Great looking bike and pics. Are you stationed at ISC Cleveland?

Did you steal Grumpy's bike?

Welcome to the site Doc.

Does look familiar doesn't it? Even down to the crash bars which appear to be SW Motech bars. It does have the Canadian Flag sticker though, which is good for another 20 hp.

Welcome.
Great photo - Always surprised at the discipline demonstrated by folks who can put on the brakes going into a gorgeous turn, so they can pull over to share a picture with us.

RE: Guess I am here now too - Doc4216 - 05-04-2022
Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll most like sit in the corner for a bit and read more than I post but I appreciate you all!

For some reason the muli-quote is not inserting my selected posts so I'll respond individually (which I loathe):
No, I started out as an MK but now I am an INV2.

Nope, we obviously just have great taste in bikes!

That road was pretty close to where I used to live in CA so I road it quite a bit. Figured I should finally capture it in a picture one day.

I have nine years until I hit thirty so somewhere between seven and nine, I will be done. Trying to do it all in Cleveland, so I am not planning on going anywhere just yet!

I was guessing "AD" meant "active duty" ... ?
Thanks for your service BTW.

Yes this came up before and I was to look into it but forgot. Sorry. I suspect I need to do some upgrade or install a plugin, but it should work such that when the icon with the little "+" in it in the bottom right of each post is toggled, you should be able to go to the Quick Reply box and select "Quote these posts now" and get the quoted text place in the input field. Doesn't work and neither does the "deselect them" linl. I will revert soon (I hope).

Yes, I tried a couple times but it didn’t insert them. That’s okay, I suspect my post count will increase in a timely fashion due multiple posts! Lol

Being on the front line of the Canadian border, it would appear to be a great posting.

Wrong color but obviously the best bike!
