Hello from New Orleans

Post by Xyzzy »

Hi all, my request for membership has been fermenting in a dark corner and I guess I've matured enough to be allowed in... I bought my new-to-me '18 FJR a little over a year ago, and have added approximately 30k miles, including 10 IBA Certs (mostly SaddleSores), a trip to Central Mexico with some legit riders, and an SS2000, that included a piece of Key Lime Pie in the place known for it... Key West.

I'm here to learn from the Wisdom of the group, but I'm learning Basecamp, and have other skills that I'll be glad to share. I don't work on my bike, so I cannot offer help on how to fix anything mechanical.

My user name, Xyzzy, is a magic word (cheat code) from a very early computer game that transported the player from one place in the game to another, magically... just like my FJR.

Thanks for having me in the group.

--Bobby

Welcome!

Sorry for the delay - new member activation is set to manual approval to minimize the number of spammers that get in.

I think we might need to be careful with how many cajun's we allow in... Redfish, natehawk, HPPants, smh...

We don't typically let Izzys in, but since you spelled it differently... sure! Lol. What is it with Louisiana and LD riders anyways? They seem overrepresented. :-)
