Default Howdy Y'all

Due to slowing reflexes, I hung up my track leathers last fall and sold my Ducati motorcycles. As a result of the increased garage space, I just purchased a 99FRC from SW in Austin. Bone stock, ~27K miles, and nearly show room condition. I'm sure that any of you who know SW, know what an impressive stable he keeps. Not having any pics of my own yet, here is a link to SW's pic.

I live in Bandera County, Texas. Should you be out and about in the Hill Country...give me a shout - I always have a cold one in the fridge.

at least you bought the right color C5...

you gave up Ducati 's huh ? I bet it was tough letting them go; but you'll have a lot of fun behind the wheel of a Corvette.

Dont' forget the regional forum section that covers Texas:

Drop into the SW section and see what's going on this week. There's an event in Texas almost every week. Track days, cruises and come up to TMS for the Lone Star Classic!

Thanks for the warm welcome and yes I will stop by the SW section. I do look forward to participating in some regional events and maybe evan a few trackdays.

I did mean it when I extended the invite - give us a shout if you are going to be in the Hill Country. Paved road all the way to the door, huge drive, cold beer, and a nice quiet place to relax.

Y'all be safe out there.
