Welcome to the forum - enjoy the ride.

Howdy Tinman from the sunny south. It's nice to have someone join and introduce themselves. It makes it easier to respond to someone when you know their level of experience. Enjoy the ride (even if it's only on the computer).

Welcome from further South. Still riding most days, but not when there's snow on the streets.

Glad to have you aboard Mike. Bundle up and settle in to this forum... good company to have while waiting for Spring.

Hi Tinman from across the pond.

I suppose you spend a lot of time on the 'Yellow Brick Road,' sorry thats Kansas area!!!

Whichever road you use, ride safe and enjoy.

hello and welcome to the forum
from sunny scotland

Careful, Waspie... quit makin' fun of our Kansas roads. We can't help what color they are and what they're made of ...

Anyway, welcome to the best SWing site around "tinman". You're gonna' enjoy it here. Too bad you're so far north. Here in my area (NE Kansas) we still get a few days every now and then thru the winter to go out and hit the roads. Helps to keep some of the jitters at bay.

Thanks, for the warm welcome DickO and all the others out there.

Im no good with cumputers and understanding how to use this site.
I whoud like to put my information and a photo of my 09 sw but I dont know how.

Hi Tinman. Welcome to the forum. I'm a little bit further north than you. Im 62 and I live in Edmonron Alberta. You will love your scoot. Mine has taken me from San Francisco to Yellowknife. I tow a tent trailer with it and two up. These bikes have no limit. Mine has done everything I have asked of it and never complained. I don,t have a name for it except get up and go. Welcome again

Thanks royr .I will look on the map to see were your home town is . All my trips are one day rides . I ride alone most of the time.Next summer I hope To
spend some time on Manitoulin island about 7 hour drive from here. I stop
riding 6 years ago.Now with my silverwing ,its a better ride for me. The Miss
started to ride with me . With a backrest and armrest and all the other mods
that Im doing. we will do longer trips.
