new(b) from Indiana

I'm picking up an 08 250X next week and I'm stoked.

Sold my prev. bike (06 cbr 600rr) last summer after my 2nd child was born and have regretted it ever since. Finally sold my big/expensive/non-family-friendly toy (05 STi) and convin-errr, TOLD the wife how it was gonna be and said I'm buying a friggin' bike, deal with it.

I've lurked a bit and just decided to join. Just after some basic info and reviews of aftermarket parts mostly.

I'm a known forum whore, so who knows. Maybe I'll be able to branch off into another with ease.

I also drop ellipsis like crazy, so...

*edit*
and since everyone loves pics, and I don't have any of the bike:
The STi:


(the neighbors were less than amused, children excluded)

Kids w/ the STi:
Nick, now 2.5-

Aiden, 7 months-

(Keeping CPS on their toes since 6/20/10 )

From the FS ad:

Shown in stock trim.

As long as I get >17 mpg, I'll be happy.

Judging by your pics .... You'll fit right in. Cute kid.

Where in Indiana? We're got some twisties down south here made just for supermoto.
Whiteland go cart track is a helluva good time too.
