Default Not new here, but its been a while

Hello everybody, like the title says im not new here, but it has been a very long time since I was on. I will give a recap since there are probably a ton of new people, and all the one from back then probably dont remember me.

My name is Dennis. I am currently residing in beautiful Iraq. I am in the military as you probably figured out, my home station is Misawa Air Base, Japan. When I was on here last I was stationed in Arizona with a 2007 CBR600RR (God, I miss that bike) I had a little accident there with her, got order to Japan so I sold her and off I went.

I had hopes of buying a bike in Japan, but wouldnt you know it, they are more expensive here where they are made! Especially with our exchange rate the way it is. Along with a limited riding season here because of all the damn snow. But Omce I finally get out of the desert, I should only have a year left in Japan, and back top stateside, and I can purchase another 600RR.

I will try to keep this as short as possible, as to try not to bore you. Thanks for having me back!

-Dennis

Any member old or new serving his/her country always has a place here as I think
everyone else would certainly agree.

Good to see you back Dennis, looking forward to having you back stateside and back
on a nice CBR man. Keep safe.

Thanks for all the responses guys!

I am stationed at Joint Base Balad, or Balad AB. depends if you go by the new or old name. As for Japan, the movies are true if you are in Tokyo area. There are just countless numbers of beautiful women everywhere down there. But when you start heading up north, towards my neck of the woods. Not quite so much. Yes there still are some attractive women when you head out to the bars on the weekends and such. The malls have some good looking ladies too, but nothing like the movies up there. Its pretty country up in Misawa. But Japan is definitely a great place to live! Bikes areb pretty pricey over there, but cars are actually pretty cheap. So I guess there are pluses and minuses.
