Hi Everyone,

I'm Bon Chaton. You can call me Bon. ("Bon Chaton" is french for Good Kitten. Ya. I live near San Francisco. I am a complete freak. You can't even imagine.) I took the motorcycle safety course about 3 months ago. (Not a total newb. I rode motorcycles a lot when I was very young. Around 10 - 13 years old. The bikes belong to my friend's family, and when they moved away, so did the bikes.)

A month ago, I bought a 2006 GZ250 with 14,000 miles on it for $1200. I work on my own cars a lot and have already started walking my way through all the general maintenance. (I also own a 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider, a 1992 Jeep Wrangler, and a 2004 Scion XA.) Having lots of fun with it. Hope to contribute to the forums all I can. I was excited to find this website and it has been a huge help so far.

Anyway ... Hi everybody!

- Bon Chaton

We've had a couple of loose geese from California before that just sort of up and vanished.
Hope you stick around.

Welcome Kitten. Got down to SF about 10 years ago. The Golden Gate bridge was on my bucket list as well as Lombard Street. Mission accomplished.
