New guy
 

My name is Forrest, I'm 20 years old out of Iowa City, IA. Taking classes here at the University. Got my 2003 GZ just this April and try and ride it every day I can. You probably have seen a few threads I've started here, and I thought perhaps I would make a more formal introduction. Love this site since it's such a wealth of knowledge; I really appreciate it. Take care and ride safe!

Welcome Forrest. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the forum.

Re: New guy
 

Welcome aboard! I won't hold the fact that you're a Hawkeye against you. :)

I'm sure he's NEVER heard that before! :lol:

Re: New guy
 

Ha! I will have the same courtesy there. It's a good school...although you and I will no doubt have differing opinions about the football program...

And yes, the Forrest Gump references are half my life, so I am VERY used to it by now :2tup:

Re: New guy
 

Courtesy.....what is that ??
Birds fly upside down over Iowa.
Met my wife in Iowa.
Yes, I am bitter. :cry:

(Just kidding......about the bird part anyway.) :biggrin:

Re: New guy
 

Easy, is that wife or ex-wife now ?

Re: New guy
 

Current.
43 years in November.
Two or three of them actually good. :roll:

Re: New guy
 

Obviously she doesn't read the forum, eh?

:whistle: :neener:

Re: New guy
 

Nope. But if she did, does it sound like I would care ??? :twisted:

Re: New guy
 

:roll: I always thought that birds flew upside down over New Jersey :roll:

Re: New guy
 

They won't even go NEAR Jersey !! :shocked: :lol:

Re: New guy
 

I take it you don't ask her to go for a ride with you for an ice cream.

Re: New guy
 

Not being American, I thought that the name, Forrest, had been made up for the movie. It's a cultural shock to find that it's a real name. (we tend to be a bit more conservative in England - Bill, George etc :) ) :2tup: :2tup:

Re: New guy
 

But Alan, the origin of "Forrest" as a name is British. Much like Bevis, Garfield, and Grover.
Topping the American name list are the likes of; Sean, Hunter, and Juan :)

Re: New guy
 

Juan is America? how cool.

Re: New guy
 

Jesus was pretty high on the list too :)

Re: New guy
 

welcome to the forum . happy riding

Re: New guy
 

So "Bevis" is British? Dang! I was hoping we could claim him for ourselves, and they could have Butthead!!! :lol:
