I wanted to start back with something I could handle easily so settled on a new 09 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. It's a great machine and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking to get back into riding after being away. I was aprehensive about handling those bigger cursiers so this fit teh bill perfectly (not too many $ bills either!). I've had it a month now, put on 1600km. My wife and I have even done a few runs on it, last time she was on the back of my bike we were in our late teens! It was very cool to have her holding on again! (although we have invested in a back rest and windshield). Wy even my 19 yr old daughter wants to ride with me. How cool is that!
