Just west of Mobile, to be precise.
Been lurking a minute, (when I find time for internettin' ) figured it was time to say "Hi y'all."

Welcome from Huntsville.  Tell us about your bikes and what kind if riding you like to do.

Only bike I have right now is a Kymco Spade 150... I've had a few in my younger days, biggest being an '82 Honda GL500 Silverwing, Identical to the one below... (not mine)



...but I've had a lifelong obsession with small-displacement bikes, and have had more pass through my hands than I can remember.  :D
Then I did like a lot of people do, took 20-some years off to do the family thing.
Last few years I've had the itch again... just as I was about to pull the trigger on a SYM Wolf 150, I saw the Spade about a year ago and had to have it. Glad I did, I really enjoy this bike.



Most of my riding is on country roads around Mobile, while I get my two-wheel legs under me again... As much as I used to ride, it had been over 20 years, and I know better than to consider myself any more than a noob rider.
Lately, I've been thinking it would be nice to have a bit more power, so I don't think I'm done buying bikes.  ;)

It's good to have another small displacement fan on the forum.  I have a couple of 150cc Kymcos.  There are also a few other members here with small displacement bikes.

Here's another shout to ya from Huntsville.  My primary ride is a Road King, but I also have a '74 Harley Shovelhead Super Glide.  I do most of my writings in the "Vintage" category, unless I stumble onto anything that might be of interest to the rest of the forum.  Look forward to meeting you out on the road!

 Welcome to the group! BIKE BIKES, small bikes, it doesn't matter...they all get wind in your hair and put a grin on your face.  ;)

Hi Loup. Being a noob myself it's good to see another far south member amongst us. You know, we should ride and meet Chuck at about Spanish Fort sometime. I'm from over in Atmore. Y'all up for a meet-n-greet soon? Somebody name a place and time, and I'll be there.
Visit, listen and comment please

Welcome from the West side of the State (Tuscaloosa). This group is from all over so any time or any where you want to ride, you can probably find someone to go.
Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however,  extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

If it don't scare you, you ain't doing it right.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Welcome from the northern end of the state. Some day I'll get south of Montgomery.
