Hi, I'm from Belleview, FL near the Ocala National Forest. I haven't ridden for a while and now that I have an empty nest I decided it's time for another bike. I started off with a Kawasaki KZ550. My second bike was a Yamaha XJ650. Since I live near Ocala National Florida I wanted a bike I could take on the forest roads. My grandson lives in Oregon and I would also like to ride out there to visit him one summer. Realistically I plan to be riding on the road 90 to 95% of the time. I'm looking forward to riding again and I'm glad I found this forum.
