Default FNG - Chicago Area

Hi, I'm Buck. I have been riding since 2011, and got my first sports bike a few weeks ago. 2003 CBR 954RR, pretty much stock except for a 2 bro's slip on exhaust. I don't own a truck so the ride home was the coldest ride I have ever been on, and was still the most fun I have ever had on a bike thus far.
I enjoy these forums as it saves me a lot of money at the stealer, I mean dealer.
I have 2 Honda cruisers, I try and do as much of my own maint as possible. I am a motorcycle enthusiast and trying to learn as much as possible. Last year I put about 7.5K miles on my Shadow Sabre, which is pretty good living in the Chicagoland area. My wife and I took a 1300 mi camping trip through MO off the back of our Shadows last year. We both really enjoy being out on the open roads.
Look forward to soaking up the knowledge on the forum, and using the Search feature.
I have the same screen name on the shadow.net, sabrehood, and the sabregroup forums as well. Feel free to msg/add me if you are on those
Thanks in advance for any and gfy's gtfo's and all that soft skinned bs

Great to see another "Honda guy"! Welcome to the forums!

I ride with a group of guys in the Naperville area, most of them on Hondas. Hopefully you can ride with them or see them around town!

Welcome to this forum.

Pretty clean looking ride, from what I can see in the pic. 954s are great bikes for the money these days. You'll be happy with it for a ling time to come.

Thank you all. Kevin would love to meet some new riding buds. Currently I ride with the Southern Cruisers riding club. Its a non dues any make any model riding club. Everyone is about twice my age but they are cool and most importantly safe. Which is what I needed newer to riding and to the area. I'm kind of a STL implant up here in Cub territory.

I ride with a bunch of younger guys, pretty much all sportbikes. When the weather gets warmer, shoot me a message and I'll let them know you want to meet up to cruise!

I'm down at school with my girlfriend right now, but hopefully we can both come back up to Naperville with our bikes to ride also!
