The administrators were foolish enough to let a yank join this forum, so here I am! :app: :D
I come from Michigan and I'm on my first Buell. It is a 2007 Super TT. I just got it last month and I think I have been on it for nearly a mile! I still don't know what 2nd gear feels like. Michigan winters are quite snowy and our roads are terrible. Spring is coming soon though!

I've been riding for about 5 years now. I also have a 1988 Yamaha TW200 and a 1985 Kawasaki GPz550.

-Nick
p.s. I still get that stupid grin every time I look at the bike. Hopefully I'll get over it.

Welcome Nick doesn't look too snowy there.
You should love riding the STT.

Hi Nick welcome to the Club. 8-)
Where in Michigan are you? I spent 6 months in Holland and Owasso couple of years ago, so I know what winter feels like there!

Last time it snowed I took it out drifting. I kept falling down but it was a blast! The pastor at the church around the corner must have been mighty confused when he got to work and saw a 15-inch wide dirtbike tire track in his parking lot, complete with boot marks and imprints from when the bike was dropped.

I live in Rochester, MI, about an hour north of Detroit. Anyone here in that area?
