Handle:Woodrow
Age: 34

Years riding: 11
First street bike: 1996 ZX6R

Type of bikes owned: 96 ZX6R, 08 ZZR600

Certifications/Classes Etc: Licensed and MSF

General Experience: I have been riding motorcycles since the late 80's. I have had various dirtbikes ranging from a CR 80/125/250 and a few other 4 wheelers. In 1995 I decided to get onto sport bikes and took a MSF course. After riding a friends donated 250 for 6-7 months, I decided to buy my own. I got a ZX6R mainly because I wanted a bigger jump after riding the 205 for a season. I loved the bike and put about 28,000 miles on it before I got rid of it. I have done dragstrip runs and riding the twisties of the blue ridge mountains and other areas in Northern/Western Va. I decided to upgrade and now enjoying my ZZR600. I have wrenched on all my bikes except dynotuning my Ninja.I left that to a pro.

Street Gear: Scorpion EXO 400, HJC Paradox, Joe Rocket UFO Solid & Ballistic mesh and Fieldsheer riding jackets, Fieldsheer riding pants, Alpinestars and Fieldsheer riding gloves. Looking at some boots to replace my worn out ones and a suit.
