Hi everybody. Been lurking on the board for a while reading all the fascinating information everyone has to share. Recently purchased my first motorcycle (the m50) and MSF starts on Thursday. It's great to find a place dedicated to these outstanding bikes.

Cheers.

Oh what a great trip!!!

I ride a 2006 Suzuki C50T Boulevard.

A Classic Cruiser with Bold Style and No Equal.

You may have seen the Suzuki Boulevard C50 around town, a classic cruiser that has been capturing the spotlight wherever it goes. Now you have the chance to experience its awesome V-twin performance - and enjoy the benefits of key features designed for the open road. Meet the Boulevard C50T. Like the C50, it boasts a fuel-injected 45-degree V-twin engine that cranks out a load of torque down low, matched by exciting top-end performance. It also has a spacious riding position and smooth suspension for comfortable cruising. With a multitude of features, the C50T establishes its own unique identity. The C50T has an aerodynamic windshield and a custom-designed backrest, encouraging you to take to the open highway for true long-range cruising in maximum comfort. The C50T also has a range of custom features, from whitewall tires to studded seats, for its own bold look. The Boulevard C50T. A Classic cruiser that is as comfortable as it is stylish.

welcome from OK. I hope you find this site as helpful as I have.

Welcome Loc.
I am in St. Marys.
Just took a ride up your way on Friday Karbyn.
Russd, glad to see your a fellow Pennsylvanian, sorry to see your from New Kensington. Bad story, but I have a brother in law from there that I literally hate and would like to see very bad things happen to. But he hides in Florida now.
Taking a ride to Dubois later today if the weather holds. Wife wants to do some light shopping and I told her it will fit on the bike.
I assume you are taking the rider course in Clearfield? Good course and well worth your time. Even if you have ridden in the past on dirt like a lot of us, you will pick up a lot of street related knowledge to keep you upright and safe. They have the Suzuki GZ 250's there to ride. Are you doing your riding section on Saturday or Sunday? Doesn't matter, at the end of the second session you will take your test and get your license. I only know one person who couldn't pass and she took the course 5 times. She flunked the written and riding sections.
Stay safe, pay attention at the course and take your time getting used to the bike. It will all be worth it.

Loc · 07-06-2008, 01:22 PM

Thanks everyone. Nice to see PA representin' too!

Yea.. I'm taking the course in Clearfield, two weeks of Thursday/Saturday schedule. Workin on getting my dad to go now that he got his permit.. I think he's catching the bug.. Hopefully the weather will work with me instead of against me.

Hotform · 07-06-2008, 01:34 PM

Don't worry about the weather. They hold the class rain or shine and ride rain or shine.
That is so they don't have to do the entire class over again. Just take a raincoat.

phil.dye · 07-06-2008, 04:04 PM

Welcome to MJ.

Where exactly is Pennsyltuckyian, can't say I have ever heard of such a place. Then again I live in Kansas and if you are not related, by blood, to a cow, I wouldn't know ya...

Loc · 07-06-2008, 04:23 PM

lol.. Pennsyltuckey is the rural area between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia..

Or.. as James Carville put it: "Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between."

but Pennsylbama doesn't work as nicely.

For you Pennsyltuckians within striking distance, there is a free concert by Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Casino in Salamanca New York on Friday at 7 pm. They are having it outdoors so there should be plenty of room.
