Hello from Sunny Florida - Yamaha FZ8 Forums - International FZ8 Motorcycle Community Forum

specops13 · 12-03-2011, 06:24 AM

My name is Dave. I do weapons testing for a number of AR-15 Manufacturers.
I write on AR15.COM.

I'm 59, had 37 bikes scattered over 45 years. Currently own a 1989 VMax, a 1994 VMax, a 2005 Harley Sportster and now a 2011 FZ8. By far the best handling Bike I've ever owned.

I've worked in shops and in my garage for many of those years although bikes haven't been my main line of work.

Hope this forum can get rolling as much as the vmaxforum.net that I'm a member of, I've made a lot of lifetime friends there and hope to here.

Dave

Thank You both for the Welcome.

A FOG who shoots guns, rides motorcycles, lives in Florida and is married to a Supportive and Wonderful Wife knows just how lucky he is...

Hi Specops13,

I'm on the other side of the bay from you in StPete. I'm gettin' up there myself - I'll be 45 in June. Glad to see there's another FZ8 on the roads in the bay area and piloted by another seasoned rider to boot!

I know out past Tampa there starts to be some good roads with twisties for riding. Over in St.Pete the only twisties I have are the on-off ramps for I-275 and the only hills are draw bridges! Would love any suggestions for some good day rides you might know of.

Thanx for the welcomes. BeachinFZ8, PM Sent.....

I could use the help testing some of what I'm currently doing. Unfortunately, the manufacturers I work with will only accept me and my hand selected team... All of us are being fried, keeping up with new developements... Combination of: :-( and :-)
