sleventynineR- bit o'a rant

Life in slow motion at 110 mph
I used to have an account here, but I kind of gave up on all social media stuff for a long time. After lurking for the last few years, and learning so much from this forum, I figured that a venture back into the interweb starting here would be warranted. I am always online for work purposes, but I came to loathe anything but personal interaction. I feel like I want to make an effort to contribute to this community because of how much I have learned over the years here.

Motorcycling is my passion; I ride daily. I commute to work everyday on my rocket-ship of an 09 Yamaha R6 and hit the trails on the weekends on one of my dirt bikes. I live in the Sacramento area of northern California and I hate it here, but the best part is I can ride damn near every day. California is the land of fruits and nuts.

I grew up in Los Angeles, went to high school just outside of NYC, and joined the military which has taken me all around the world for the last 17 years. I've lived in Oklahoma, South Carolina, Alaska, Italy, North Carolina, Arizona, California and now I am in the process of getting ready to move back to Brooklyn, NY at the end of the year. I've been everywhere in between.

I'm into everything; art, music, building anything, sports, cars, adventure sports, traveling, experiencing new cultures, etc, etc........ but yeah motorcycling takes the cake. I have been building and riding bikes my whole life. My first build was a Kz440 that my dads friend gave us to build, after that I was hooked. I have a tough time building a bike and not riding the crap out of it anymore and want to keep everything.

I plan on getting into the motorcycle business industry full time over the next few years as I begin to transition out of the military. Don't want to go into full details yet as I am still trying to figure out what exactly I'm going to do, but I plan on doing my own thing for a long time after my next and last assignment.

I have an 09 R6 as mentioned, an 88 ZX750F, 81 Yamaha MX175 2-stroke, 97 Suzuki RM250 big bad 2-stroke screamer, a trx250 quad and a couple of kids bikes. I also have a 74 CB 450 and 75 CB 550 in storage that need rebuilt at my parents.....someday, right. Almost forgot, a 70 CB100 that never seems to be complete and always needing 1 or 2 more things.

I love riding at the speed of sound......triple digits all the time. I love splitting lanes and pissing off all the cage drivers who are scared of being on 2 wheels (or 1 for some of us). I have no problem being the menace that most driver think we are..... also no chicken strips in any of my tires, I love to push the limits.

Hit me up, I ride hard and fast, drink lots of beer, and generally don't give a fuck.
