Hi from Richmond VA!!!

I am new rider as well as new to Richmond VA. I am hoping to meet other riders near me to help me get out on the road and to get some real experience. I ride a Honda 750 Shadow Aero. I have taken the state safety course - I just don't feel comfortable riding alone yet. I have always wanted to ride since my oldest brother plopped me on his bike when I was a kid. Now 35 years later I am finally hitting the road!! Hopefully I can join up with some veterans and be able to ride in some charity events, as well as weekend rides this spring. Would love to meet all of you!!

Shadow_pup Very Happy

Hey There Shadow-pup,
welcome to the site. Before you know it you will find those riders who are going to have a similar riding attitude to yours and have great fun....

Does it get hot and humid there in the summer months?--tink

Hi Tink ..yes it can get pretty hot and humid here in Virginia, but we have been getting pretty mild weather all year long for the past two years. *knock wood*
I found a lot of good info on the motorman site and hopefully I can make it to the nearest parking lot to try out a few practice exercises.
Its good to be here ! thanks!!

Hello Shadow_pup, WELCOME!

I have a Honda 750 Aero and love it. I think it is a great bike to get started on.

There are alot of people joining the organization in different areas, you might send a message to Sparky and ask her about members in your area.

Hi Shadow_pup!!!! Welcome to the forum!!!!

I love motorman!! His exercises really do help but I can see where it would be hard to find the room to practice. I am lucky and practice in my pasture but it isn't flat enough in one area to do some of the exercises.

You will find a lot of support on this site. They are a neat group of gals here!
