    Hey everyone! My name is Matt and I'm from the U.S. (please don't hold it against me!!) I have rejoined the biking community after about 7 or 8 years off after my two boys were born. I used to ride a 2001 Suzuki GSF600 Bandit and had to sell it due to financial and safety concerns while our two boys were very young. Now the oldest is 11 and the youngest is 8 and we're a little more stable and secure so I was able to get another bike and luckily stumbled across a stunning red 2004 Triumph Daytona 600 that I am in love with!!!! I picked it up about a month ago and unfortunately have only been able to ride it about 4 or 5 times since then due to weather/work issues, but am looking forward to racking up some miles on her in the near future! I can't wait to get in here and look through the forums to see what kinds of discussions are going on! I'm going to look to posting some pictures here in a couple of days, I've already made a few small cosmetic adjustments to personalize the bike to me like changing out the fairing bolts for a new color (black), changing the stock control levers to shorty's, and replacing the grips to Kuryakyn all black sport bike grips!
    Just as an extra tidbit about me, I'm a school teacher and coach. I coach both American football and soccer, and this year am going to be coaching basketball as well! I look forward to talking and discussing things with you all!
