Hello from Oklahoma

Post by Twigg »

Hi everyone,

My name is Steve Bracken. I was "Twigg" on FJRForum, and am ... er ... Steve Bracken on FJROwners.

I am English, but have lived in Oklahoma for the last eleven years, with no immediate plans to go anywhere else.

I ride a 2005 FJR1300A, a bike that is fairly well-known on the LD Riding circuit.

In June next year I will be riding in the Iron Butt Rally, my first, and probably last attempt at that event.

Regards to you all.

Welcome!
Have you lived there enough to get an Okie accent?

Good luck as you prepare for the ride of your life!

I was thinking noting Twigg is a squid in my welcome post but held back. Now that you mentioned that welcome Squid! :D I am sure the forum algorithm will soon release you from the undeserved squid moniker.

And best wishes with the Iron Butt.
