new to the forums and 1st bike purchase! ('07 M50)

#1 Unread post by Erick Van\m/ »

This is my first bike I have purchased on my own and I am stoked beyond belief. I got it yesterday and of course as an initiation, it had to rain on me all day. But I had a lot of fun just staring at it.

Ill be hanging around these forums a lot so I figure I would say hi! :D

:welcome: to the Total Motorcycle community Erick!

It's a beauty of a bike. Suzuki created something wonderful with those lines and gave the bike some great charater. :D

You'll find the TMW forums full of friendly people who love to help each other out and also welcome the new members into the fold too. I'm sure you will spend a lot of time here and love it as much as we all do.

You did take a motorcycle safety course right? (crossing fingers)

BTW: Seems to be quite a bit of cars in your driveway, did you have a Motorcycle Birthday Party going on?

:cheers:

Mike.

yep I took the MSF course a few years back. I have been riding for a while but have never had one to call my own, only rode my dad's when I got the chance to go back home.

it was a bike party actually! It poured down rain for many hours about 10 min after those pix were taken, so not much riding has happened yet.

Welcome to the forum.

I sat on a M50 today again and I get more and more convinced that it's my next ride.
