Hey everybody, new guy here.

My name's Wiles and I just picked up an '04 SV650 last month.  It's my first bike; I've only been riding for a few weeks.  I've been lurking on the forum for a little while, seems like a good group.

I definitely want to tag along on some of your group rides (not this Sunday as I have a futbol match to watch) and maybe hit a few bike nights, if you'll have me.

Is the Gardnerville bike night still happening?  That thread hasn't been updated in a while.  I'm up here in South Lake.

I'm also interested in eventually getting into track days.

Anyway, hello.

Hey dub, welcome to the board. Riding IS what we do (I am getting my Duc out of Steve's hospital 2WCP Mon or Tue) and I'll be watching the Wold Cup final as well. Even if Italy, Japan, and the US are out. Tuesday night at 6:00PM at La Vecchia is bike night. Ill be the guy running aroud with a chef jacket, name's Alberto.

Dang! G-Ville bike night is Tuesday?  I work evenings on Tuesday.  Maybe I'll try to make it down to an occasional Reno bike night on Monday.


Anytime, Dustin.

Joao, I thought I may have already knew you.  Are you not the Joao that I worked with a couple years ago at Zephyr Cove?  Either way, saw your crash thread; so sorry, hope you are back on the bike soon.

Ah, so Tuesday at La Vecchia in Reno.

Was there ever a bike night in Gardnerville or did I just imagine that?

Edit:  I think some of the bike night threads need to be updated.

You're probably right on the "bike nights threads". I believe that Gardnerville is Monday but n10sive, one of the moderators, is the organizer for the bike night there. P M him for more info.

Welcome Wiles. Yes, we have a bike night in Gardnerville on Monday night at "The New El Rancho Grande" located on the west side of Hwy 395 a few places down the street from Sharkey's (on the curve).

I will be out of town this week, but other members should be there to greet you. Come on down and have a $1 taco or two or three :)

Hmmm...Maybe that was another Joao cause that name "Zephyr Cove" doesnt sound familiar to me... But yeah, hope that too. Sucks cause I'll miss the swim ride!  :-X Anybody willing to take a limping guy for a 2up ride??  ;D ;D

Just a coincidence, I guess.

Two questions:
1.  You are saying this because you know I have a WRX, I assume?
2.  How do you know I have a WRX?

I see, I thought maybe we knew each other from somewhere else and I didn't know it.
