Thanks.
This is one of the more active and fun Suzuki cycle forums I have been able to read and enjoy. Thus me joining.
Lots of info out there and I plan on using as much as I can.
History: Have not ridden
motorized two wheeler for over 25 years!
Why you may ask? A number of issues, the formost was a rather dramatic spill on me last ride. Cause? Glad you asked: a lethal combo of high torque, high speed, low intelligence, high testosterone, and a nice outside banked (bank away from radius of turn) turn. Sold the bike as soon as I got the parts and made the repairs. Other causes included graduate school, marriage, kids, jobs, home ownership, (you know the rest).
Now kids away, job is stable, marriage is as well, and now have the maturity, experience, judgement to treat meself to a bit of fun.
After much research and self study on what I truly wanted, I settled for and recently purchased a new C-50, blk/silver. Awaiting delivery in next week or so. i knda felt like a male version of Goldilocks with this choice: not too big, not too small, not to fast, not too slow: Just right! HAH
Took refresher course, got me "temp" license, been reading and relearning all of the safety tips.
Spent close to $1K on new: full face helmet, textile riding jacket with "armor", light bar, bags. May go with a windshield after I review some of the pros and cons from others.
Goals? Near future is getting back into good riding form. This will also coincide with the break in period for the new bike. Then longer trips. This will be a daily commuter as well (
after last frost and quit with the first. So hoping to get in 8 good months, with an occassional leisure drive on nice clear dry winter days as conditions allow.
So there you have my confession, my ambitions and goals.
