Hello from new member in Southeast PA
« on: September 14, 2022, 07:58:57 AM »
Finally got around to signing up.  Had the brochure laying on my desk for a couple of years.  Am signed up for the Fall Colors ride in Lewisburg WV.

Looking forward to meeting some of you.  I've met a few here on other forums, and/or from crossing paths in Ohio, WV, NC, NY, etc.  Figured I might as well join the fun and the timing was right for this meet.

Welcome!  The Versy is a great sport touring mount, be it a 1000 or the 650.  Hope you have a great time at Fall Colors.  I’m sorry that I won’t make it there this year, but I’ve enjoyed it in the past.

Welcome from East Tennessee (Knoxville...home of STAR 2023!). You picked out a good event to attend. Fall Colors in West Virginia is full of curvy fun roads.

We have regional events spread out throughout the good riding months in areas where the riding is great!

Hello and welcome to MSTA. Great looking bike, and I'm planning to be at FCR as well. Look for the grey/black 2016 BMW F800GT with MI plate RFLBK.

Don't ask how Rich got this bike...but his avatar is a hint. :-)
It's just one more reason why membership of this association is great!

You can easily get back your membership through the Dan Clark Safety Program, by submitting receipts for your needed safety gear.
We have had a few members that submit a receipt for a helmet, jacket, and pants all in the same year.  Each of those receipts could be eligible for 50% back, up to a max of $100.00 per item.
This program is ONLY for the member, not a non-member in the household. But, they can also join and be eligible for the same.
Of course, this program is supported by members that donate to it as well as a few MSTA Rides where the proceeds are donated.

Thx for the tip.  I could use some new gloves and I've been shopping for a new mesh jacket; so far not seeing anything I like in my size.  I'll have to look into this further.

Welcome aboard, southeast PA, depending on how far east that isn't far from our base here in Northeast Ohio (quite a few in CLE, some in Akron, others as far east as Youngstown area).

Maybe we'll see you at FCR, I'll be with the guy on the RFLBK, on my red VFR.
