Hi Friends,
New member, first post from New Jersey...
I've been riding a 2012 Burgman 400 for a year now, so still a newbie. A late-in-life new thing for me. I had never been on a motorcycle or a scooter before my decision to purchase. It's been a great, great year, I've learned a lot, and I'm not half-bad at it. For me, it just puts a smile on my face every time I am on the road.
Besides riding, I've enjoyed tinkering with it, blinging it out, and making it my own. I absolutely love this thing.
Thanks in advance for my dumb questions that are sure to come. I have a lot to learn. Been lurking for awhile, and this seems like a very nice group of folks. Happy to be a (small) part of it...
Stuart

Welcome. I am relatively new to motorized two-wheeled transportation myself .... 4½ years, but only about 2,500 miles. I have found that it is indeed great fun!

Welcome Stuart,
Your story and mine are similar. Late to motorized 2 wheeling and really enjoying the experience so far. The first bike I sat on was a Downtown 300 in a dealer's showroom and the first one under power was a Ruckus in the course. Coming up to 4 years with a license to "operate any motorcycle". So lots to learn for me as well. Never stop learning.
Parked behind a car with New Jersey plates here yesterday.

Welcome,
I may have beaten you as a New Jersey posters, but what part of the stare are you from. I'm in S. Jersey across the river from Philly.

Welcome to the forum Stuart.
I've been on two wheels for decades but only a few months on a Burgman. Great place to hang around for information.
I would think riding in that part of the country would be a little intimidating.
Ride safe there man.
