Hello From Southern Cali!

[MeanGreenMachine]

Sup guys... New guy with a new to me KX500. Only been out for one good ride so far, but I'm already addicted to the brutal power this thing makes! I'm not all that experienced of a rider, but found the power to be very predictable, easy to control, and never lacking, no matter what gear you're in, or how steep a hill you're going up!

I'll be watching and reading about all the tricks to repair and maintain one of these bikes... Gonna be fun.

Addiction seems to be the right word... Been out on a couple proper rides and have fallen in love with this thing. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be spending more time fixing and less time riding until I get the bike sorted out.

I'm in Santa Clarita, not far from the junction of the 14 and the 5. Guess I could have done worse when it comes to access to good riding places!

I'm in Tehachapi just about an hour or so north of you (depending on the route you take).......Like Motorrad says we SoCal boys are a very social bunch of fellas......We get together once in a while for fun camping/riding trips.  My only prerequisite, don't be crazy, grumpy, dramatic or ego driven.......

If you don't fall under any of these categories make sure you keep an eye out on the events section for California rides.  Welcome to the party.
