Hi,
My name is Chris and I just joined. I'm in Parkersburg, WV which is NW West Virginia, just across the Ohio River from Marietta OH.
I ride a Yamaha FZ6. I rode for about 14 years then stopped about 25 years ago after my first child was born, and I finished grad school and started a suit&tie job. I've been riding now for a bit over a year. I've logged just over 9,000 miles. Took the MSF ERC course and wear ATGATT.

Happily, my wife Sharon rides with me, sometimes, when the weather is just right...

Before anybody comments, yes, I know that she's wearing a far less expensive helmet in this pic than I am.

But when, on our 32nd anniversary, she decided she wanted to ride (for the first time since before we were married) - she was not willing to wait till we could get to a bigger store.
I'm pretty certain I'll be at the Mail Pouch Fly-By this August. I'm gonna try real hard to get to the TriStar this spring.
Chris
