Hi,

I'm really excited because tomorrow evening I will be getting my own 2013 Super Ténéré.

This was own by a fellow ridercoach who happened to be both the owner of the company that taught me how to ride motorcycles and the coach for both the SRC and Total Control Clinic. I know he's extremely caring of his motorcycle and that bike will be in top notch condition.

A little about myself. I'm originally from Argentina, move to the states back on 2006 and became a US citizen 9 years later. Always wanted to ride motorcycles since I was a teenager, but luck was not on my side and on a return car trip home one weekend, my mother witness a horrible motorcycle accident just 3 cars ahead of us. So I was banned to ever have a motorcycle as long as I lived under her roof. Well, then came college and life and never had the chance or the funds to actually start riding. But It never got out of my mind. On Christmas 2017 while visiting my family back in Argentina, I helped my brother put together his 2011 yamaha FZ16 carburetor and my passion relighted. Came back home, search for motorcycle training and enrolled on the BRC near my home at the beginning of February. Got my licence on the 4th and bought my first, an so far only, bike, a 2018 Honda CB650F. I love that bike, but once I was told he was selling his bike, I knew it was time to change.

So, I think that for the next couple of months, I'll be enjoying both bikes and then decide which one to keep. Hopefully it will be the Yamaha.

Read you around.

S.-

Welcome. I have a farkled 13 myself 50k miles. I'm curious about the time it took to become a citizen. Did it actually take 9 years?

Whole process from F1 (student, masters), green card and citizen, yep! Sometimes takes over 10yrs. Is not an easy or fast process. ;)
