| Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum. I've been a biker since I was about 11 or 12 and was riding my dad's 1965 Honda 90 around the dirt paths in Scottdale, Pa. What fun. then is was on to a 71 SL100 and then a 73 Kaw 350 Bighorn (awesome bike!). Then a Yamaha 650 and then on to my last bike which I have for many years ... a 73 Kawasaki 900 Z1. What a machine! Sold that is 95 and have not a bike till recently when we got my wife a Vulcan 500 LTD. Now it's my turn and .... I am getting ready to buy a Vulcan 900 and thought I'd get a little insight into what everyone who has recently bought that bike got it out the door for $. And also if you have any websites related to the topic of what the "real" cost of the bike is and what we should be paying, I'd appreciate a reference to them. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Ride hard and ride safe !! |

| Welcome aboard. The Suzuki C50 has been the flavor of the month, but that's not to say the Vulcan 900 isn't a very nice bike. I'm looking around at one myself. Just pulled this up, read and learn. Motorcycle Daily |

I'm thinking I should qualify my statement... I work with Engineers every day I hang my hat at work. The pinky rings I'm referring to are the ones that come in little brown envelopes that are a rite of passage for enginneers. They tell said individuals that they are now qualified and available to solve all the worlds problems. They are not a Canada only thing. And Mark, I'm sure your 'cahones' are still intact. I wasn't implying anything else. Again Mark...Welcome aboard.

| ... ![]() | um, i know which ones they are - i wear one. pinky finger of the hand with which an engineer signs documents (so it could be left hand or right hand, depending on whether said engineer is left-handed or right-handed). they started off as a canadian engineering 'thing', though i've now learned that the yanks have stolen our idea! ah well, at least OUR rings are still nicely shaped / chamfered / faceted. so yeah, we're STILL special. muahaha!!!
