Title: New from Chicago
Post by: Gostowski on July 19, 2017, 01:01:19 PM

Started riding in 1967 on a Honda 160 at the age of 14. After a crash few years later my parents insisted no more motorcycles. But while in graduate school in 1990 I bought a Kawasaki Gpz 550. Had until graduating. So the next gap ended in 2011 with a Kawasaki EX500. My wife began to ride with me (small bike for that) and we attended the last MotoGP in Indianapolis, rode to Washington Island, WI, and later made a trip to Galena, IL.


Now firmly committed, we purchases a 2006 Triumph Sprint ST two weeks ago, making a trip to Milwaukee last weekend.


Have some questions of course and would like to meet other people that share this interest.


Best regards, Rudy and Chris

We've got more than one Sprint rider floating around. Our membership has a wealth of experience and info with their level of commitment to riding.

River City Ride event coming up in just a couple of weeks in southern Indiana.  Can still preregister and get a hotel room.  Would be an excellent way to meet and get to know some of the MSTA people close to you.  Hope to see you there.

Welcome aboard from another Sprint owner, and Hoosier born (Gary).

If you cannot make the RCR that was mentioned, Mail Pouch Fly By August 25-27 in Marietta OH is another good event.
