Are you my twin?

I got my C50 last September when I was 30 as a gift to myself. I'm not much of a risk taker either. I have always wanted a bike but never really gave it serious consideration. But then one day out of the blue I decided to sign up for the MSF corse. I had a 50cc mini bike when I was a kid and have always ridden BMX and mountain bikes. It just felt like a missing part of me. Being a good bycicle rider was a perfect transition to motorcycles and I ended up with the 2nd higest written test and the only one in the class to have a perfect score on the riding test.

I bought my bike a few weeks later, when I wasn't even really shopping for one. I had never even seen a suzuki cruiser before. But it had everything I wanted. So I bought it and have been very happy with it.

It took me about a week before I was comfortable enough to ride through town or up on the highway. But the first time you hit 30mph there really are no words to describe that feeling. 45 was even better. What is really cool is when you ride through cool pockets of air, and when you can smell the trees and flowers. Mildly intense is the only way I can discribe that smell.
