I am new to this forum. I have a CBR600 which I have logged over 25,000 miles on and a WR 425 yamaha soon to be dual sported. I would really like to meet some people who ride dual sport or even just trail. 90% dirt 10% Street is what I am interested in.

I am planning on riding the CBR to the blessing. Where in grand rapids do you all meet? Do you meet for breakfast before you goto the bessing?

I also have a 27' Baja offshore I keep in grand haven, a MXZ Snowmobile (put on 1300 miles this winter alone), a 660 yamaha raptor already been to st helen this year, and a c-5 corvette convertable.

If I ain't working I am out riding something!!!



This year I am planning on taking the Quad to silver lake for the raptor weekend june 6-8th and Maybe quadfest in PA the middle of july.

Fourth of july in Chi-town on the Boat and of course: hot boat weekend, coastguard fest, and a trip to put in bay is being planned.

For the dirt bike I want to ride six days of michigan if I have enough time off to do a whole week of D/Sprt.

Grand Rapids Cruise with the Vette is a must/maybe woodward?

I AM ALWAYS LOOKING TO MEET PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIKE TO RIDE AND NOT JUST SIT AROUND AND TALK ABOUT RIDING!!!

If you have the same interest as me....hit me up. Look forward to meeting you all. I will make it to some Sunday afternoon rides. Oh, lastly, I work second shift so if anyone likes to ride late at night or afternoons hit me up also. Its hard to put a lot of miles on the CBR cause everyone I know works 1st and rides in the evening.

NOT LOADED...after gas and upkeep...their ait much left over...and if I aint riding I am probably at work :wink: Plus I have been collecting that stuff for the last 10+ years. I bought the cbr in 1997. It was the middle of winter. Some guy had bought it for his girlfriend and she broke up with him and stuck him with the bike and payment. He needed money. It was a year old and had 1,100 miles on it. Got it for a steel........

Bought the snowmobile in the middle of the summer from a guy who was getting a divorce and found out his wife had not made the house payment for the last three months. I bought it in a package deal. Sold all the other stuff and pretty much got the sled for free. Just about finding the right deal at the right time.

Bought the dirt bike from a guy who took the buy out at Ford. A year after he quit his job he was needing money bad..... He had only riden it five times, first time out his son crashes so was scared of motorcycles and never wanted to go after he bought two of them brand new.


The vette had 11,000 miles. Saved $25,000 off sticker. Someone lost their ass on that one.


I bought every single thing used. They were all like brand new, just got to find the deals.


Where you ride the CR500 at?

I don't really ride the cr500 yet, waiting on replacement forks to get shipped to me. I just bought it about 2 months ago... I will be riding it up at martin, or out in allegan at my moms. I'll ride it wherever though :thumbs
