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 :biker:

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 :P

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 :goof:

--Dave

Hey Safety-boy.

I'm a big fan of those Kawasakis. Never owned one myself, but have ridden on of a buddy and I really liked the feel of it. Got any pics? :D

There ain't nothing wrong with being known as safety boy! He who doesn't get run over my a mack truck because the trucker saw his safety vest, laughs loudest! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
