New to the board.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this message board, I didn't know you were here. I have been riding for 39 years. My ride is a Honda VTX 1300 R. I bought it new in 2003. I love it. I had RNY Oct. 5, 2005. I started at 365 and am now at 258. It's been quite a ride in itself. I'll post more later..........Dean.....

Welcome Dean, congratulations on the great weight loss. Come back and join us anytime, we need more people on this board. It sure is easoer to ride at 258, than at 365, isn't it? Kepp up the great work, Steve

Hey Dean! Welcome to the board! It's a great forum for us bikers! we are a rowdy bunch! (NOT!) Yes the WLS journey is quite a ride I will agree I am 5 months post op and am amazed everyday... I love it! Life at Full Throttle for me! keep posting and WELCOME Angel J LOS

Hi Angel J. Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad that I found this board. You "guys" sure sound like a bunch of "rowdys" I think that I'm going to like it here. I've rode my bike up and down the Oregon coast a few times. It is so beautiful. We usually stay around the Yachats (The Gem of the Oregon Coast) and Bandon (by the Sea) areas. Living in Utah we have a lot of great rides that we can do. We're not that far from Yellowstone Park and Jackson Hole WY. (we do that quite often) and all of the National parks down south, Bryce, Zion, Escalante Staircase, Grand Canyon, Arches, Mesa Verde in Colo. the list goes on. We've got some fun rides planed for this spring, I can't wait to get on the rode again. It's been a long winter..... Live to Ride, Ride to Live . ....Dean.....

Hi Dean! I bet you have some spectacular rides in your area! I love Oregon also. I want to ride to all the states and all the wonderful sights on my Yamahog... I too LOVE to ride... and ride to Live! It is my goal to put a minumum of 1000 miles on my bike this year. I have about 800 more to go. Clubs are a good way to get a lot of miles and smiles! Hugs Angel J LOS

Welcome to the board, Dean! As you can tell, we all don't check in every day. Glad to have you here and hope to hear some good stories from you! Keep your knees to the breeze . . . Matt
