New to the board, my name is Tom but most people just call me jp. My first bike was a Kawasaki EX-500, then I stepped up to a GSX-R750. Totalled that and the other guys insurance paid for a 1000. I live in Millersville, MD, and I'm in the Air Force.
The accident wasn't my fault. I was on my way home from the bike shop after having a new rear tire put on, and it was raining. The guy pulled out infront of me making a left-hand turn. When he hit the gas his wheels just spun, at that point I was a block or less away from him. The last thing I wanted to do was to let an accident stop me from "getting back on the horse."
I went bigger because the 1000 was the bike I wanted to begin with, I just couldn't afford it at the time so I settled for a 750.

I've got nothing but respect for anybody that rides any machine. It's not easy to get out there on the road without a buncha metal surrounding you to keep you safe. Especially in MD, DC, VA area. I'm sure I'm not the only one here that can testify to that fact.
Thanks for the warm welcome guys, pray for warm weather soon!!!
are you at Andrews AFB? I just took a job with the Navy I will be stationed at NAS Patuxent River
Sorry bro, not trying to steal your thunder. I'm stationed at Fort Meade in Severn, MD but I've got friends that live in Arlington and Newport News, VA so I probably spend more time in southern MD, northern VA than anywhere else, and I'm always looking for someone to go riding with.
