Hi from Boston

I've been on this forum for quite sometime now ever since I got my e90 a little over 2 yrs ago, but never managed to post at all so I guess it's time for me to introduce myself.

My car is a SG 328xi with ACS bodykit and CSL rims, other mods include a RAM intake a Eisenmann exhaust. Currently done with modding the car so it's just maintaining the car.

I've also bought a black 03 GSXR1000 before winter, so just waiting for the snows to melt before ripping it on the streets

I've learned quite a lot about my car through this forum and I think it's time for me to contribute as well.

Nice to meet everyone.

nice ride! I've got a 2007 328xi, just bought it and a 2005 Triumph Sprint ST 1050. Sadly I think the bike will have to go, don't have room for both and needed the car and can't say I really enjoy the Boston roads last summer, its not a much fun riding a bike here as it should be

Hi cyphr, I've only got my license and the bike around Oct last year so don't have much riding experience yet.

The places that I ride to the most is to the motorcycle shop and Goddard ave, do you know any good places for rides?

this is the only pic i have related to the intake, basically the airbox is drilled so that the tube can fit in and it's being routed to the lower front bumper.

No idea about the roads in Boston. My bike is here in WI which I guess is a blessing since we have Road America a few hours north

There's a number of good people to ride with over on http://www.nestreetriders.com/ though. I'm sure they'll have some ideas of some nice roads. Brandon (branabolic) may be able to point you to some nice roads in the NH area as well.

Ride safe bro and don't ride out of your comfort zone-those liter bikes can get pretty hairy, fast.

LOL - CAS, SMG, GSU = good stuff... You're still able to take advantage of all the BU facilities aren't you?

Yeah, but with my schedule, I don't have time to troll the main campus anyways. I used to work in ENG during second year though, but I only show up after hours. I'm just glad that I only have 14 more days of school and I'll be done.
