Nissan 370Z Forum - Hello from Inland Empire, California

Hello everyone, My name is Daniel.
And I just picked got my metallic black 370z touring a couple weeks ago.

A little about me: I started racing motorcycles at the age of 12, and for my whole life I thought I would at least be able to race in my spare time. I rode 250s, 600s, and 1000s. And did pretty well in all classes, however was never good enough to make a career out of it. So after high school I went to a military college across the country, in hopes of commissioning in the U.S. Army, and had my slot paved to become an Infantry officer, and planned on racing bikes in my free time.

However about a year ago, I was in an accident that almost took my life. I had never really been into riding bikes on the street, just been one of those guys that thought, hey I'll just save my need for speed for the track. However after dealing with California traffic for so long, and having a job over the summer that required a commute, I decided to get my M1 and ride on the street.

(If you ride, please wear your gear, my AGV Pista GP helmet, and dainese gear SAVED MY LIFE)

With that being said my baby, my S1000RR was totaled, my injuries caused the Army to take away my commission, and my parents and significant other essentially banned me from bikes, and I think it might stay that way, at least for awhile.

With that being said, after finishing college, and coming home, my parents surprised me with a 2013 370z Touring with sport package, and I could not get a MT because of my injuries not allowing me to use my left leg very well for long periods of time.

I've never been a forum guy, but with bikes essentially out of my life for now, I'd like to become more involved in cars and such. If anyone in the area wants to cruise around I would love that. And I definitely want to learn more about my car, and begin tracking it once I can.

Also, to those who may be interested, I still have 4 track ready, (NOT STREET LEGAL) R1's in my garage that I need to get out of there. And also a 1199 Panigale that I will be putting up for sale soon.

Thanks for reading, and be safe!
