Hey Guys,

So I joined up here because im picking up my new Boulevard M50 tommorow. Its only got 700 miles on it, so its pretty much new I'd say.

My riding experience is also pretty new. I took the MSF a couple years ago and purchased a brand spankin new 06 CBR 600RR. Needless to say, it was dangerous. I loved the speed but it wasn't very comfortable and I ended up selling it months later and lost thousands.

So im trying again, this time with the cruiser. Actually the reason im starting again is because I own a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire that I cant really afford anymore, so im selling that and going with a cheaper car and the bike.

Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope to see you guys on the road!

Andy

edit: btw where would I start searching for a straight pipe kit?

I own 2 bikes and one of them is 05 M5, Very easy to ride. I haven't done a longer ride of more than 80 miles but you'll like it.

You and me sound a lot alike. I'm getting rid of the gsx-r 600 and maybe get the m50 or c50. I love carving up corners and hitting 140 on the dragstrip, but my neck doesn't like it. Nor does my husband. I want to know about the m50. EZZEE ridin!!!

Welcome to the forum. Lot's of new faces showing up lately.

Those Crossfires are fun little cars too! My wife and I rented one on Kuai, Hawaii in '07 and had a blast. Went up the Waimaia (sp) Canyon with it and man that thing rides like its on rails. Anywho, enjoy the M50 and the site. Good to have ya.
