No worries. I kind of sent it last moment and am just starting to check out these forums. I live in Scripps Ranch, so am pretty close to getting into Poway, Ramona, and Palomar. I am actually not of Japanese descent, but lived there a few years and minored in Japanese in college. I would love to go riding in Japan, especially in the spring or fall. We went there a few years ago in the springtime and really enjoyed it.
I missed your message and have made other commitments for this morning so have a safe and fun time without me. I am sure you are very happy with the new acquisition. We should get together and ride sometime. I live in Del Mar, what part of town do you reside in? My monsterkami moniker comes from monster and kami. The monster part describes a bit of my personality at certain settings and circumstances, not to mention my other bike (Ducati Monster). Kami however is my very exclusive nickname used by my parents and certain friends. My real name and how everyone addresses me is Kamran. I travel for business to Japan every couple of months and have a good friend there who will take me riding in the mountains in the spring. I can not wait. I assume you are of Japanese decent or where you born there?
I just got an 06 this summer as well, except mine is black. By the way, I'm curious about the monsterkami moniker. Is this a Japanese reference? If so, are you referring to god 神, hair 髪, or paper 紙? I speak Japanese, so just curious. I am planning on a ride this Saturday if you're interested. See my post at: VFRworld - San Diego County Area Riders (SCAR)
