Bike day!!

#1 Unread post by Gereke »

Been awhile since I posted here, been mostly lurking.

Finally purchased my first motorcycle, a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard S40. 9,000 miles, well cared for.

My first ride was a beautiful ride down I-5 in SW Oregon, cool evening and a beautiful sunset back dropping the mountains around where I live. 35 miles of pure bliss. :D

Tell me that isn't a huge oil spot under that bike.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

No, that is not oil from the bike. :lol:

It's oil from my elderly fathers P.O.S 1975 Olds Cutlass.

If the bike leaked like that (no leaks at all actually..), no way I would have bought it.....

After I posted the picture, I though to myself "Hmm... I bet people are going to ask if the oil underneath is from the bike". :lol:

Happy bike day! Wow, so the previous owner only used it an average of 1,500 miles a year? Lucky you!
