About the bike:
I just picked up my new Vulcan 500 this morning, and rode it 100 miles today... mostly on the back roads out in the countryside. The weather was absolutely great and a perfect day for starting in on my break-in miles.
About Me:
I live in western Pennsylvania and have been riding dirt bikes for about 24 years. I owned 2 street bikes in the past (a Kawasaki GPZ-1100, and a Yamaha Seca 550) and rode for about 5 years total on the street. The last time I did this was back in 1985, so I have been away from that for awhile. I have still been riding quads, snowmobiles, and an ocasional dirt bike, so this is my first time back on the street in almost 20 years... I must say that I sure have missed it and am glad to be back. I am enrolled for the MSF course (begins in early June), and looking forward to it. I think it is great how much everyone is promoting the safety course. It was not even a thought back when I was riding on the street before.
Well, I think I'll leave it at that... The weather this weekend is supposed to be great and I have some riding to do...
