Hello Everyone,
        I realized that I didn't follow instructions and introduce myself before gallivanting all over the DMF....My apologies

I'm Vince from the Land of Oak trees although it would be more appropriately named Eucalyptusland -eh, so what...

this is my first Bike an is a Dark 696 that I put 3000 miles on it since June and kick myself in the ass everyday for waiting so long to get a bike and learn to ride it properly.  My rides mostly consist of 50 mile round trip rides on the nice 580 to crap hole 880 and then tooling around Oakland Berkely and Alameda (if you're from around here you would understand how eff-in cool the east bay is man)  

the Karate Champ
(It's not it's name, but more of what i like to call it )

Welcome Vince, nice bike, glad to hear you are enjoying it.

Yeah, the east bay is cool, but the peninsula is even better.

Make sure you check in with us at the MOB (Monsters of the Bay Area).

Have fun, ride safe.
