Hello all. I just got a good promotion at work so what did I go do? I bought a new bike.

I am the proud owner of a brand spankin new '06 C90 Silver Two-Tone. I'm hoping the weather breaks soon, so I can go bring it home. I got it for $8400+tax/tags, wich I think is a good deal. (The other dealer had a leftover new 05 C90 in the Black/Blue combo I loved, but he wanted $200 more than the '06).

I also have my completed daily rider/project bike, a 86 Honda Shadow VT700C painted in, something close to but not exactly IMO, Suzuki's Candy Grand Blue. I rode that all last season, and the year before that, I learned on a Rebel. I've also took my dad's fomer and current Wings for rides (a 82 GL1100 and a 94 GL1500)

I took and aced the MSF's BRC class, and I feel very confident on my VT700C, but I needed something a bit bigger to do long touring rides (and to hopefully keep pace with my Uncle's Valkyrie ). I'm sort of fearing the bigger bike, but I figured If I was buying a new bike, I better make sure I didn't grow out of it...seeing how I got 3 yrs of payments on it. LOL

I wish they made the M50 with the 90 engine. I'd have been on that like white on rice. LOL
