|  Hi everyone. I bought my first bike 2 weeks ago (2003 Savage 650) after taking the MSF course last month. Been on the back of street bikes most of my life and rode some dirt when I was young. This is a whole different world. I got out of the neighbor hood and out on the open road for the first time today. After it got a little warm I had trouble with first at every stop. Thanks to your forums, I feel a little better about it. Seems every one says the same thing. Down shift all the way to first b4 completely stopping. I never had the problem when I was practicing around the neighbor hood, but I guess on the faster roads I wasn’t paying any attention. And I was trying to sit at traffic lights in neutral, so I never went to first. Now I know to keep it in gear at lights. We have some pretty long lights here in Martin County, but I guess I’m just gonna have to get use to it, for my own safety and to save embarrassment. Thanks all, nice to be here. |

| It's been a long time since I welcomed anyone, so... WELCOME ONE, WELCOME ALL since the last time I welcomed anyone. Hey Night Wolf, sweet bike you got there! The 650 Strom was actually on the top of my list until I came across the M50. It's still a top contender for a future Sportster replacement.

| My girlfriends brother brought rat poison to the party. Yeah her family does a Christmas gift auction thing. He brought rat poison, and not one of those little boxes either. It was a big BIG box of D-CON RAT POISON. Big chuncks a rat poison. Families. So I'm just checking out this forum here. Seeing what you all are interested in. Lotta messages here in the Intro thread. Anybody read these? I know I don't read new member intro's in other forums... Uh...anybody else here like taking there slow Suzuki cruiser to the drag strip? Just started going last Summer. Actually, I only went once, but I liked it so much I decided to spend the Winter trying to make my Marauder as fast as possible. Anywho...Hi. Yup. SlickKip |

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!! 
which I never would have believed possible 5 years ago when I started. I'm also a Canada Safety Council motorcycle instructor. I've survived sliding my @ss down the pavement after getting cut off, being clipped by a fellow rider while making a left hand turn (he wasn't paying attention) getting rear ended by a drunk driver at a red light, hitting a deer at 60mph and keeping my 1400 Intruder on two wheels and one minor highside (gravel all through a corner) on my Wee Strom this past October on my way to the Dragon.
