Hello everyone!
My names Steve, I just moved back to SD a little over a year ago. (Finally graduated from Berkeley). By the way Bay Area roads suck to ride on. Hella bumpy, much better down here!!!
I am new to this forum, been riding for a couple of years now.
Used to ride an 03 600F4I and now ride an 03 R1.
Live in Mira Mesa so I guess I'll be seeing you guys Thurs for bike night! I ride a silver/black R1
P.S. can someone tell me what the definition of a squid is?

Welcome. Make sure to check out the bike night at the Starbucks in the Albertson's parking lot tomorrow. Some of us are cruisin' down to the Eastlake B/N after. You're welcome to join.

Welcome Steve! Don't fret over the title. It's just a name we give to newbies (to the site) but not the rider themselves. We were ALL Hypercycles squids once ;)

Squid - someone who uses the term "hella" on a regular basis.

Welcome and where did you ride up north? I know the Oakland/Berkely hills can get pretty horrid but have you tried the road from Castrol Valley to the hills? That was pretty smooth when my brother took me on it. And Alice's was always nice. First time I touched knee was over there but it pales in comparison to the roads of Palomar IMO.

I was never part of the "Decepticon" crew. Didn't even realize there was or once was a crew named that. I grew up in the 80's so I liked watching Transformers. I collect the Generation 1 Tranformer toys, so I just really like the toons.
