Default New to the forum

Hi all,
I`m Jim and I`m new to the forum. I first started riding @30 years ago and gave it up when I first got married. Got back into it to ride with my son, and found out how much I really missed riding. My new wife loves it and we ride all over together. I bought a 2006 Boulevard c50, and it rides great. I plan to taking it to North Carolina and Tennessee after the winter, but I`m not sure if it is big enough to handle the mileage from New Jersey. I would appreciate any input to put my mind at ease about the trip. Thanks in advance.

Welcome!

The C50 is more than up to any trip. You may someday get the itch for more power, but the C50 is plenty big and comfortable enough for long distance 2-up riding.

Welcome!

I've got the M50...and I have no worries about taking it on any ride.

Enjoy it.

Welcome Jim, you've got yourself one great bike there. My wife and I ride two up and have made several 300+ mile days with my C50T with no problems. Let me know when you head toward Tennessee (just what we need another dang Yankee in TN). Just kidding, my son just married a Jersey girl.
