Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special Edition
Good for you Peter. I had three "graveyard ponies". Then the children arrived and sold the last to my BIL and bought a tractor that I could get more use out of.
When I read the topic title I had a feeling it was by Peter. ;D
I have to admit to not liking the idea of me on a road bike and sharing the road with the local road maniacs so much anymore.
Although my neighbor with the one of a kind Big Dog cycle, who open carries says he never has any problems with cars crowding him. ???
Still got my license but decided the roads are too crazy anymore. Last road was a Suzuki 500 - had a Honda 750-4 before that or maybe it was after. Crimoney... that was 40 years ago.
Nice bike!
I have only owned dual sports, which are not very comfortable bikes to ride. I will sometimes take them for a ride on pavement, but I don't like to have to pay that much attention to other drivers. I look for eye whites at every intersection. Too much work for me!

This was my Baby! I sold her after a friend and his wife died together in a motorcycle crash. I started counting all the people I knew who had been injured or killed on a bike and came up with about 1/2 a dozen. Then I tried to think of the people I knew who had the same thing but in a car crash, couldn't come up with any. And I know a lot more people who drive cars.
Have fun with your new toy, but be careful!
There have been 2 motorcycle deaths on our road in the last year and two in our area in the last week. The last 2, number 1 was a drunk driver at 2:30 in the afternoon crossed the yellow line and hit and killed a 36 year old man on a bike. The second, a driver did not see the motor cylclist and pulled out in front of him. The driver of the motor cycle is in critical condition. The passenger, the drivers 9 YO son, died at the scene. Please be careful out there. We sometimes feel like we are invincible but when it comes to taking on a car or truck with a motor cycle we are going to loose most of the time.
CHUCK
Looks like fun
I still have my 1976 Husqvarna 250 WR but I don't ride it much
maybe time for a trip around the airport
I love riding a motorcycle and in 50 years of doing it (I started before I had a drivers license) I've never had a major accident. I think it's because I've never gotten compkletely comfortable on one and I watch traffic like a hawk.
I never had a V twin before and I have to admit...I love it ;D
I may take over a small town or two next week. ::)
Peter stay away from Bayone NJ that is where I lost my middle Aspencade that was a year old. Escape that one virtuallu unscaved. Didn't learn a thing. Turned around a year later and bought a new one. Then life started seeming more precious and people around me. Thats when I went out of the motorcycle buisness. You would have thought I would have learned long before after picking up pieces on the road over my carreer. Do be carefull. They actually don't see you.
