Sadly, I don't have any pictures... we all forgot our cameras. I'll make sure to grab some next time we go out! Our bikes look really nice together. My dad has a big Vulcan Nomad 1500, red and maroon colored, my brother was on the black M50, and I was on the Ducati.
Oh, another tidbit I forgot to post earlier. We picked up a cheap Suzuki Savage 650 for my mom to learn on. The M50 was just a little heavier than she was comfortable with starting, so I found a Savage at a good price for her. It is really easy to ride, very light and nimble, and the powerband is very linear. It is quite torquey, almost like a diesel...lol. Not much top end, being a single cylinder, but good enough grunt for around town. It has an aftermarket exhaust, which sounds pretty good. The only funny thing is that it pops on deceleration sometimes... it is actually quite endearing though. I've nicknamed it the angry beaver, since it sounds like a viscious little animal as it is riding along. The M50 has been nicknamed the angry badger, as it is a slightly bigger animal (and it does sound mean with the cobras on there!), and my dad's vulcan is the angry rhino. My bike is just the duke... haha
Here it is:
Now both my brother and my mother can ride at the same time... So when she is comfortable enough to move up to the M50, I think my brother will get a ducati monster or something of that nature. For now, she is sticking to parkinglots until she is comfortable.
We are officially one big motorcycling family! (Well, more like two families since my parents are separated... but whatever...lol)
