Greetings all. I kinda introduced myself on some threads but I'll formally do it here

I am currently just learning to ride. I preveiously have never even sat on a bike before. But, my good friends all ride and I am looking for something to do. I'll be taking the ABATE class at the end of July and have been riding around town, taking it easy until then.

Let's see, I WAS an avid gamer until recently. I gave up Everquest (played for nearly 10 years) and decided I'd get my bike. I went and looked at the Honda 1300T I think it was. Way too much bike for me.

So we went up to the place where my buddy had bought his Victory. They happen to be a Zuk dealer as well and we talked to the owner (friend of my bud) and explained my situation being new, price, etc. He showed me 1 bike and it was my M50. I loved it. I loved it so much that I went up there every day to sit on it until I could convince my wife to let me buy it.. 8 days. omg

Anyway, here I am, a few weeks later and already have new pipes and some other things going on. I really would like to get some bags on there but I cant seem to pull the trigger on the cost.

Thanks for reading!

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.

The M50 is a great choice for a first bike.

I rode my beginning years in northwest Indiana ( Lafayette, IN ) on an '85 Yamaha Maxim.
