Hello everyone. My name is Bill and I'm from Hooterville KY aka Nicholasville. I've been riding for ?..... a long time. I've been watching this group for years and finally decided to join up. I know how the group got its start and I only wish I had the money back then to get that first sabre/magna. I can remember walking through the local dealer in Fayetteville AR and seeing 2 V65 Cs side by side with two sabres right next to them. My thoughts were, how can I steal enough money to get one of those things? I ended up selling my camaro because of the insurance and getting a KZ440.

FF to 2002 and I got my first V4, a magna, for $150. From that point on I was hooked. I've had about a dozen of all sizes and flavors since then. Currently my main rides are a V65 Magna, V65 Sabre and a 1000F. The C has about 75K on it, the S has 62k and the F is the new one with 26k. All but a total of 60K is mine.

I joined another board back in 2004 and saw a need for a regional get together so in 2005 I started the V4Hondabbs Spring Get Together in NC and its been going strong ever since. Like MSTA, many riders have gone on to other brands and newer rides, the great part of motorcycles is the fellowship. I remember when the STAR came through Lexington and stopping by for a few minutes just to check it out. For several days I drove by on my way to and from work just in time to see people heading out and getting back and just wishing that I could take some of you on some of the great rides that are really pretty close to Lexington. Oh well....

I'm looking forward to meeting up with some of the local guys and getting to know you. I've been known to ride to lunch and back and end up logging about 500 miles in the process.

RIDEMYST:

WELCOME Bill!   It’s about time!   :trink39:


The Ky group will start getting together when the weather breaks for real.....hopefully sometime in March, more likely to be April.  I live up in the northern part of the Commonwealth, but certainly have spent a lot of time in the central, eastern, and southern regions.  I always try to move the lunch rides around to interesting mom and pop places around the state and am always looking for recommendations along that line.


In the meantime, you should be checking out the Event list and plan on attending any of them you can, especially the ROHP in July.  We are small in numbers here in KY, but we have some great people and enjoy getting together.  Many of the Cincinnati and southern Ohio/Indiana people have joined us in the past at lunch meets and for weekend events.


I look forward to meeting with you.  If you wish to be included in the email newsletter I do, or to get direct information on the other goings on, please PM me with your email.
