Hello everyone,
Just signed up and wanted to introduce myself. I am 65 yrs old and just retired and live in Orange County, Ca. Just started riding again after 15 years (1st bike was Yamaha RD350), Last year took the MSF course with my son and bought a used Vulcan 1500A. My son has a 1500C.
Since I have old bones and limited riding experience I have a full face helmet and padded riding gear. Also the wife made me carry a cell phone, hoping I can still dial 911 after I go down.
Anyway, 2000 miles later, I really like cruising and working on my bike. I really gave a lot of thought to buying a 750 or 1100 but I am very happy when I went for the 1500. Love the HP & torque, I don't go faster than 70 mph but I like getting there fast! Besides, at 6-1 and 225 lbs, I look silly on a small bike.
Have some questions and comments, but will save them for another post.
