Hello from GA

I've been on this forum for a while and never really noticed the Member Introduction section.

Everyone on the forum has been helpful. The members and even Mods have helped me out quite a bit. I learn a ton just by reading over some of the situations/problems/answers that are posted.

To give some background for introduction: I started riding in Montana when I was about 13. I rode an old Honda Big Red 3 Wheeler (w/no brakes!) - That is what I started on, then moved to the Honda XR 100 and 200. After I moved back to GA, I never touched another bike until now.

Here's what I've had in the past few months (been through quite a bit - managed to keep the same about invested due to trading and selling):

1. 1999 Rec Industries MAX IV ATV (6 wheel drive) - Sold for 1K more than bought.
2. 1998 KX 250 - Traded for 2003 TTR 125 and 2007 TTR 125
3. 1984 Honda 200x (3 Wheeler)
4. Sold both TTR's and traded the 3 wheeler away (for a generator and couple guns).
5. 1986 Honda XR 250 - currently the only bike I have. (engine re-built - and lots of new parts all the way around). Its now pretty much a 1996 model - considering all the new parts which are mid-1990's parts. (to include front/rear forks. engine rebuild. etc...very clean and strong running bike).

I have a lot to learn but had some great learning experiences so far, working on the bikes/atv's over the past few months - Thanks to everyone for helping - Great people and nice forum!

Welcome aboard. Been gettin' any rain down your way?

More rain in Atlanta than Augusta, we got lucky... lots of rain, but none of it stayed for too long.

I have some family in Atlanta, none were effected by the rain. But it was bad enough so they couldn't make it to work; full size trucks F-150/250's were being swept off the roads in the low points.

All is well now, the vast majority of the heavy hit areas have calmed down.
