I ride a 1988 Honda Hawk NT650 GT. This year the bike turns 25 and I'll be able to put QQ plates on it. The bike is mostly stock with performance improvements to the wheels, suspension and seat.
It's really a fun bike to ride but aside from a small tank bag there is no room to carry anything.
Which leads me to wanting to get a second bike for longer trips and space for some tennis gear.
Rain and single digit temperature right now isn't good for too many outdoor activities.
Congrats on the new ride! That's fantastic, good fun... Which one did you get? I have a trio of bikes, a 2004 Harley Sportster (for heavy road/canyons), a 2005 Harley Road King (for trips with my wife), and a 1975 Honda CB 750 (for zipping around town and vintage rides). My friends own a Triumph shop in Long Beach called B.A. Moto. (It's not a "gang" it's a club) Great mechanics if you ever need anything done. Keep the rubber side down, and have a great time! If you ever make it out to California, let me know. Greg
Thanks for the warm welcome Mark...I'm going to be visiting family in the Tampa area soon, so I've put out feelers on your site for players or drop-ins.
Mark, thank you for creating this wonderful site. I liked you on facebook and uploaded a few pictures. Already, I have hit with a few folks in the area and am loving it. I just started getting back into tennis after a 30 year layoff. No time like the present. Besides, so sick of running, biking...golf is too slow and boring for me, not enough exercise...tennis seems just about right for me. Besides, we have so many nice public courts in the SF Bay area. At any rate, thanks, Jeff
I will comment on it..... there is a ton to really think about it...

Hi Mark, thanks for the welcome message. This looks like an incredible tennis community with lots to offer. I look forward to finding some locals who are also members.
Mark, thanks for reaching out! Awesome social website. Hope I meet some local players and can improve on my game. Congratulations for your success so far! I have a cousin who lives in Santa Fe, but have never been there. I know they got snow the other day! Hope it does not bog down your play time. Happy Thanksgiving!
