New to the forum from Colorado

Hey everyone,

I have lurked on the site for a while and decided to sign up finally. My name is Brandon, and I'm in long-term recovery from alcohol. My sobriety date is 06/24/2009.

I work as a graphic and instructional designer, photographer, and create materials for recovery.

Outside of work, I'm married and am a dad, ride motorcycles, used to play music, and love horror films.

Looking forward to network and getting to know folks on here.

Hey man, I'm about the same as you and have ridden about everything. Right now I'm doing the dual sport thing and playing with a 2013 KLR 650. A few of the previous bikes though:

1974 Honda CB750 Chop
1979 and 1980 Honda CB650 Bobbers
2003 Honda VTR1000
2005 Vulcan Bobber
2006 Triumph Sprint ST 1050

What are you riding now?

Way to go Brandon. Thanks for joining us. I love Colorado.. lived in Denver in the 80's. Always rode motorcycles too, some great riding there going up into the mountains.

Cheers!
