Hello from NW Indiana
Hi guys (and girls I'm sure)
I'm Jeremy from NW Indiana. I bought my first bike from a coworker about 4 months ago and I've been riding it daily since. It's a 2008 GZ250 which I love. I've started trying to turn it into a "bobber". I'm not sure how good it looks (in others opinion) but I'm loving it. It is such an easy bike to play with. Personally, I'm married, with 2 little shits, I mean boys. haha. They are good kids but they are both boys, 3 and 7, and they are about as wild as they come. I am a technical manager at one of the largest wind farms in the state. I do a ton of tours, and talks about wind power outside of my actual job as well. I'm looking forward to sharing my bike project with all of you and am glad I found this place. It's already been invaluable in some of the challenges I've already faced with my bike.

Welcome to the forum from South Carolina. If you haven't already you should consider taking the MSF BRC (Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course). It's the best investment in your safety you can make.

Re: Hello from NW Indiana
Pick up a copy of Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough. It is one of the best investments a rider can do.
