Thumbs up Hello

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the place to go to find rides/groups for semi-re-beginners or not. So, if it is not, would you please steer me in the right direction. I do not know any riders, but I sure love to ride.

Thank you!

Carrie

So did you already get a permit or are you already licensed?

What are you doing tomorrow? If you say work, when are you off? LOL



Is there anything you wanted to work on with riding or are you just looking to ride?

Welcome to all group rides. Not to mention that we have a good instructors here that will help.
We are a very safety oriented bunch (with gear anyway, don't pay attention to some of the drivers here)
Carrie, what kind of riding are you looking for?

Welcome.

The entertainment value alone found here is well worth the price of admission!!

Stay tuned, there's plenty of opportunities to get hooked up with a ride.

Did an IC ride with a couple of folks from here today and had a blast!

Which Virago are you riding? I recall reeling in a young couple (no helmets nor gear) on XV750 on southbound 21 at Rocks Lodge, and the dude suddenly went WFO in the twisties thanks to the short wheelbase, good ground clearance, and riding skills. BRN is roughly comparable to a squadron of fighter jets while cruiser groups are more like heavy bombers with a drone to eat, eat to drone mission. Just saying. BRN is great for improving one's riding skillsets while cruiser clubs are more about improving one's BM. Sorry, just couldn't resist. ;^)
