Hello from Charleston, SC

[Arachnosold1er]

Hello Everyone! A little about me: I am 24, married, former Army active duty, I love classic cars and currently restoring a 78 Trans Am. I collect tarantulas as a hobby hence my handle. I work for an aircraft manufacturer here in Charleston, SC as an inspector. ( I'll let ya'll guess the Co.)  I just bought a 2011 M796 ABS here in Charleston. I have put a little over 200 mi on the bike since last Sat when i picked it up from the stealer, oops I mean dealer. I have always liked Dukes and I have had my eye on a Monster for the last year or so. I finally had the chance so I jumped on it. I'm totally loving this machine! This is my first Monster but not my first moto. I have been on two wheels since I was 12. I started on MX bikes and I still ride my 2002 KX 250 on a not so regular basis. I have rode cruisers and crotch rockets. I cant wait to get to the mountains with this thing and tear up the twistys!
