Hello all,
The wife bought a bike back in September... Suzuki Boulevard S40 (LS650). I had never been on a bike, and she was good enough to teach me a thing or two. Soon, I was waking up extra early on weekends and scooting away on her bike
So, we finally found a bike for me. A 1986 Kawasaki 454 Ltd. Been dumped a few times. 27k miles on it. Runs like crazy though. Never a problem in the morning, where her single-cylinder takes an hour to warm up
So, I am a 36-year-old squid with a 20-year old bike. The wife calls me "Safety-Boy" because of the Icon MilSpec vest I had to have. The more it gets laughed at, the more I wear it
