New Member From Decatur, IL

[Doug44]

New member here from Decatur , IL. I bought a new 13 Mattie grey bike a few days before Xmas and am awaiting to pick it up after some farkles are installed hopefully around the 1st of the clear. I have had way too many bikes & brands to admit too. I am a member of the Infamous Springfield Milers Club along with FredZ here on the forum. I have been lusting after a S10 since they came to the US and almost bought one last year. After seeing the Mattie Grey 2013 I just had to give it a home it looked so cold & unloved sitting in the dealers warehouse ! Thanks for having me here it looks like a super site and great bunch of owners and more to come from me soon.

Hi William 42 thanks for the welcome I did get a short ride in a couple of days ago (75mi) and it seems fine. I need somehow to get 500 mi before I ride to Bikeweek in March. Hopefully I can get a day I can ride to St Louie for a cup

Hey Doug,

Weather permitting, I quite often ride to Collinsville to have lunch with some other retired motorcycle bums at Bandana's BBQ in Collinsville, starting at 11. It looks like it may be decent enough for a ride this coming Tuesday.

Let me know if you care to come thru Hillsboro this or any other Tuesday and continue on to Collinsville for an 11 o'clock lunch.

I sent you a PM with my cell phone number.
