Hey everyone, new guy here. I'll try to keep it short. I have been riding for 35 years, and have loved every mile. My wife took the MSF class a few months ago (passed with flying colors) and finally earned her license. When she was done with the class, we purchased a 1981 Suzuki GS560 for her to ride, and occasionally drop.
we have logged a few thousand miles since she got her license, and today we went to the motorcycle shop. Long story short, we left with two new bikes. She opted for the light, nimble, and well priced 2006 Boulevard 650, while I decided on the 2005 M50. Since we had no way to get both bikes home, the shop delivered them to my front door an hour after the sale. It rained much of the day, so we haven't been able to ride them very far yet.
My other bike is an XR650L, which I have done more than one 300 mile weekend on this season. I am keeping the bike (best dual sport ever made), but will now make these long fun trips on my new M50.
Just wanted to say hey, looks like an awesome forum, and I can't wait to start rolling up the highway with my new bike.
