First Bike in 30 years! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

BCblvd · 05-11-2007, 08:25 PM

Hi everyone,
I just bought a Suzuki 2005 C90, which I am very proud. I am signed up to take the MSF motorcycle class next weekend, and cant wait to get (confidently) back on the road!
Things have certainly changed. I originally rode a lot of dirtbikes back in the 1970's, owned a Yamaha RD-250, and then, rode a borrowed Honda Goldwing in the mid 1980's. I haven't let my M/C licence expire in this 30 years. I was asked if this was a 'mid-life' crisis, to which I could calmly reply, "if it were, I wouldn't have kept my M/C licence current for the last 20years!

Good to see a place to chat and learn from you pros!
