Hi everyone!

I'm an old-timer in the sportbike world. I'm 39 yrs young, on my 43rd sportbike, almost a million miles on 2 wheels, and still do 100mph wheelies on rare occasions.:rad: I started riding when I was 7 yrs old when I lived in a foreign country. I was in traffic by age 10.

I moved to Oregon 3 yrs ago and currently have a modified 2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14. It is super-strong, and Beaverton Honda tells me no one has beaten my dyno numbers! (That was never my goal, but it's cool to hold the record in this town).

I love the ZX14! I can chase down GSXR1000's in the twisties and walk from them on the straights! This thing feels so confident in the corners and flicks like a light 1000!

The laws are strict out here though... I keep myself in check, but it is hard on a 200hp machine ...he he he..

I have been involved in all aspects of sportbikes & sportbike stunt groups. I know several presidents of several groups across the country. BUT... I'm done with all that stuff. I have had 20+ yrs of parties, stunting, girls, cops, meetings, racing, etc... I had my fill of fun and would do it all again.

I just want to ride with responsible people now that I'm on my 32nd year of riding sportbikes. I've gone from an 81 GPZ, 86 Ninja600, Gsxr 750-1000, v-max, and many more...

Welcome to the site. Good People here. I am rather new to the Portland AO and I agree with you about the rules, we need to be able to split lanes. Foreign countries.... yeah, done that too. Have a great weekend and hope to meet you some day.

Awesome. I lived in Korea for 11 years when I was a kid. I was the only blonde haired person there!

Father worked for the government.....high level ****, so I was around a lot of military when I was growing up ;)

Bike nights should come with a disclaimer. They are not for the faint of heart. The first night we chased off Yumscums "special friend" Chris :banbf , last week the waiter couldn't get away from us fast enough :crazy: . This will be the third try at it. :epenis: It would not suprise me if they ever rolled out the Un-Welcome mat for us.
