Do time behind bars

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like to ride .I bought a 2008 vulcan 900 LT 8/12/2008 I have 2768mi on it today 9/4/2008. I did have the 600mi oil change & adjustments done by the dealer, BUT I think I will do the rest myself.I don't like 7500mi between oil changes, so I change it at 3000mi.
Before I bought the 900LT I road my 1981 Yamaha down blueridge and the smokies. I put 2500+mi on it in that one trip.I also own a Harley just for show.
I have been riding since I was 16. I am 61 now.I have put over a
hunderd thousand miles on 7 bikes.
My point is!!! I heard all about all the chrome and gadgets everyone adds to their bikes, The best thing you can put on it is miles!![/b]
Some guys ride slow (me). Some ride fast. It does not matter. JUST RIDE.
The only person that cares what your bike looks like is you.

Yes your whole body will get used to the ergo's of your bike. You can test this theory most when you jump onto another bike and it feels wrong and you hurt in all new areas...then get back on your bike and it will feel right and won't hurt anymore. Just what I have noticed for me at least.

P.S. All caps is yelling.

Wrist will get stronger, BUT don't ride uncomfortable. Go in to a dealer and sit on different bikes with different handle bars. When you find the bars that feel good to you buy them! That is the problem, it can make you not want to ride.I have been there. I rode 300mi the other day, on the way home all I could think about was when I will ride agan.BE comfortable & BE SAFE PLEASE
