Hi @true_blue,

Welcome to MotoVlog.com.
Where are you from? What do you ride? Say hello, what do you like? Why are you here?

Got a photo of your bike?

Hello everyone.
I'm Andrew. I typically use the username "trueblue550" online, but I was limited to 10 characters here. Why not 11? 11 is a reasonable amount of characters in a username. @dandoolittle gets 12 and I'm stuck with a measly 10.

I currently live in South Dakota, USA. I am a recreational motorcyclist, I think, but I have big aspirations for 2019, to include getting into racing and learning to motovlog.
I ride a 2015 GSX-R 750 for track days and spirited canyon riding. I ride a 2017 V-Strom 650 for Iron Butt rides and commuting. I also ride a 2018 DR-Z400S for off-road.
I'm here for a number of reasons (quite a large number actually, maybe I'll make a video about it), but primarily because I've recently discovered a couple motovloggers on YT who I find to be very inspiring and who changed my perception about what a motovlogger is. I see it as a community that I would like to be a part of, and that I can contribute something meaningful to.

Thanks!

Hiya @true_blue welcome to the forum and nice intro. Sounds like you have quite a stable, with all bases covered!
Good luck with the racing, do you already have your race licence, or do you have to get that still? What class of racing are you wanting to do?

Welcome and I hope to one day ride in SD!

My goal, which I hope isn't too ambitious, is to do a few off-road races and maybe a couple road races. The MRA has what they call a "Superstreet" class that allows me to race without getting a race licence. Tech requirements are a little less strict as well. If all goes well with that, I'd like to get my licence and keep at it.
As far as off-road, I sent out membership applications to a few clubs that do hare scrambles. I would really like to make it out to the Elsinore Grand Prix next November, but that's quite the road trip.

I did a couple of Hare Scrambles a few years back, I was utter garbo, but so much fun to take part in. I've just started riding off road again after a few years away from it, bloody love it!
