Title: Hello, moving soon
Post by: velosix on August 13, 2018, 12:29:27 PM
Hello, I expect to be moving in the next few months for work again, this time the destination is Birmingham.  Looking to learn more about the area, so I'll be lurking and doing a bit of posting over the next few months.

Welcome from North Alabama. since Bham is only a hundred miles, I'm sure our paths will cross.

We have every style of riding here and I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for. Don't let the type of bikes that show up for a ride fool you. We are all riders, we just ride different bikes.

If you have any questions just holler.

Welcome from Huntsville!  You'll see the majority of my posts in Vintage, though I still have an unfinished ride report dangling as well.  Look forward to meeting on the road!  Look forward to learning more about your bike(s) and riding interests!

Welcome from the Ham area. There is a lot in Birmingham. We have a few good places to eat. A bar or 4 as well a some decent micro brews. There's that race track and Moto Musseum thing over by me in Leeds. Some decent roads to ride. The there is a pretty dang good forum about all things motorcycle in Alabama, but you found that so your on to a good start.

And here's a preemptive welcome from Montgomery, a bit further south.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm typically on the road, although I'm looking forward to having more room in Birmingham, and adding a couple bikes to the fleet.  I've had 3 jammed into my tiny town home garage, and have trimmed down to 1.  I'm looking to add an ADV / dual-sport, but will wait until after I get moved.

Here's a couple shots of my weekend gig using my FJR

Welcome from Springville just up the road.

I have done some marshalling/official/photogragher hauling in a few bike races and triathalons in the past.

Where are you moving from?

We moved here from Frederick MD in 04.

Still have a bunch of friends up that way. I end up with a house full during Barber Vintage Fest.
