Was told about this forum at work so I signed up and didn't post anything. Just got an email telling me I'm a lurker and I should post something so here I am.
Names Jerami, I ride a Grom. Got it to be a pit bike with no real intention of riding it around town , but it's just too much fun. Everyone should have one of these.
The real reason I'm here is because I heard this group has what I guess y'all are calling gymkhana and the Grom might be fun to bring to that. I do regularly autocross my car with a group in Huntsville and a group in Birmingham..(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171010/c51046ffdd88314f9f6052cf1ad069cb.jpg)

Welcome from nearby West Blocton. I've got a Kawasaki Z125. Maybe we can meet up soon for a "mini" ride . (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171010/89f80e8132cf82be5fba4ec73e588b15.jpg)

Welcome from Huntsville. I'm a big fan of small bikes. The Grom looks like a blast. I'm not sure when the next Gymkhana will be but the Grom will be perfect for it.
There is also a Grom class in the True Grits Rally in Suches GA. coming up at the end of the month. I'll be posting some info on that soon.
Welcome! I'm in Tuscaloosa, too. Currently riding a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad---planning to upgrade to a KLR!!
Welcome, Jeramy, from Birmingham! I covet a little bike like that.
How did you get into car racing?
Glad to have you!

Hi, Jerami, and welcome from another Huntsville rider. If you scroll down to "Vintage Bikes" toward the bottom of the forum menu, I have the web address for the upcoming "True Grits" 50cc and Grom weekend rally that Klaviator is talking about. It might be something you'd really enjoy!
There were 2 groms at the last Gymkhana, and I did not ask them if they were having a good time, because they never stopped riding? Neither of them could keep the front wheels on the ground, but they still kept dodging cones. I guess that is my answer?
Welcome.
Welcome from N. Alabama.
There's a few pics from the Gymkhana - http://bamarides.com/ride/events/gymkhana-saturday-sept-23-2149/

Welcome from birmingham. Plenty of guys here with smaller bikes and sounds like you've got some 125 sized bikes in the neighborhood, definitely join a ride sometime.
Welcome from Homewood!
Welcome from another Honda rider in Montgomery.
Okay, so my VTX1800 is a heavy cruiser but still fun in its own right ;)

Thanks Jerami ! I look forward to that. Hopefully we can get some kind of T-town ride going soon. Today's weather sucks though.
Good to know there's another GROM in town, I haven't seen anyone else riding one. Perhaps I'll see you out and about sometime. Mine's a black 2017 as well.
Man Jerami we had a blast at the last Gymkhana. I ride a BMW 12GS. Just can't hang with you sub 1000 guys in the cones. Hope you canmake it to the next cone killer event.
