Hi,
My wife, Jillian, and I just got our licenses and a couple of ninja 250s after taking the MSF course at the beginning of this year and are really excited to get out and ride whenever possible. We live in Banning and found IERAT while looking for local rider groups and am really happy that a Triumph group is somewhat nearby. After getting some good experience under our belts, I can't wait to get a Street Triple and she really wants a Bonne, but in the meantime we're both looking forward to meeting and riding with some other Triumph enthusiasts, learning as much as we can on the road, and making some new friends in the process.
I noticed there hasn't been a ton of activity on the boards lately (winter lull?) but I'm hoping we can help add to the group's energy both on the forum and the road. My brother-in-law (took the MSF course with me) and father-in-law (returning rider after some years off) will be getting bikes hopefully soon as well, and would be happy to join some group rides and help bolster the numbers and fun.
My work schedule as it stands now gives me Thursdays off after 12:30 with Fridays usually completely open and alternating Saturdays off. My wife and I would love to ride anytime the weather permits, so if anyone wants to get out on the road, just ask! Also, we plan to make it to one of the upcoming meets at the coffee shop next month and look forward to meeting you guys in person.
