Hello from TX

[Banuvan]

Hello!

My name is Luther and I currently live in San Antonio, TX. I work at Lackland AFB as an MTI ( if you know what that is without looking it up well, yea ). I am picking up my first bike in a couple weeks after I take the MSF course on the 14/15th of Nov.

I rode dirt bikes as a teenager then life happens and ive been in family vehicles since. Well, now the money is good enough for me to finally get a motorcycle. I know the reason to buy used but I refuse to buy a few things used. Underwear, toothbrush, vehicles, and electronics.

So I am picking up a black 2010 Ninja 650r on the 16th after I get my M endorsement after the MSF course. I plan to use it for commuting to and from work and then for some play when I get the time to.

Anyway, just dropping a line to say hi and hows it going.

Welcome,

Live in CC, couple hours south. YES I know what an MTI is. Congrats on the bike and wise choice for a starter

[Banuvan]

Thanks for the welcome. Ive been drooling over bikes over at Alamy Cycle Plex here in SA for a couple months now. I sat down with a guy and talked about everything from my height, weight, what i plan on using the bike for, looks, etc etc. Finally he suggested the 650r. I started picking up my safety gear this week as well. Grabbed a jacket on tuesday and going for my helmet and gloves today. Ill pick up my pants and boots when i get paid on the 15th.

Just paid for the MSF course as well. Two weeks and ill be riding. Im excited.

Motorcycle Safety Foundation

you can search thru there and get some prep work done. the instructors range cards are avail on the site for review

[Banuvan]

Yep. Little does the govt but they are supplying the paper and ink fir my motorcycle binder which includes everything I can find about the msf.

[V2K_CCTX]

hope it helps...well they should supply as they require you to be a safe rider and complete MSF

[Banuvan]

I agree.

Welcome. There's lots of great info on this site and the people aren't half bad

[V2K_CCTX]
