Default New here, wanted to say hello... (pics inside)

Hey Guys (and girls),

Was recommended to show up on HT years ago (and I have enjoyed reading the posts) but have yet to sign up, so here it goes.

Obviously, I am a Honda freak and have been for years. I am a full fledged TRACK ADDICT, and ride mostly with NESBA but have run events with STT, WERA, CSS, etc.

I look forward to trolling these boards for good info and discussion!
By the way, there's a pretty decent movie on my website for those of you interested (link in sig).

Thanks
Ryan

Thanks for the Welcomes....

Track skins look good because I've done most of my WERA stuff with other bikes (on an endurance team)! Either way, I went down at Nelson Ledges the week after that pic was taken, and although they still look good, they are not nearly as pristine anymore.

Well, thanks again for the additional welcomes!

I am indeed a Honda freak, from taking tours of the Mansfield factory, to investing in their stock. Now all I really need is a Ridgeline, and maybe a TL Type-S for the wife, but 70 Grand worth of cars is not my idea of 'good debt'!

You're right, it is pretty rare, but it's been absolutely STUNNING at the track. Probably close to a GSXR 750 with a few more ponies.

Very nice garage. The 99-00 Si is one of my favorites, and the Blackbird is one of the best all-around bikes ever made.

Thanks again... it sure is a Honda-loving garage, and always will be. I have owned several others that I no longer have but you're right, the 99-00 Si is one of the best. Like I said though, I'd sure like to trade it in for a Ridgeline!

Eek....good luck w/that.

You should get rid of the Sol and pick up an ITR. That was the best FWD Honda ever made...

I agree, but the newer (06-07) Si models are nice as well. Problem is, it really IS nice having a convertible in the summer (HINT- Maybe I need an s2000!). Even with the bikes, it's nice not to put my gear on and still be out in the sun.
