Title: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by Patty on 12/27/04 at 05:37:03 I like to see Christmas come but I am delighted to see it go too! For the bike I got a pouch to mount on the bars for sunglasses and gloves. And a small tool bag to mount behind the sissy bar. For me I got some padded riding gloves for my 650cc vibrator.. :P!! And I also got a new biker babe belt and a biker babe shirt with flames on it. Oh...and a doo-rag with skulls on it! If Momma could only see me now!!! Can't wait for spring! :-/ |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by Diane on 12/27/04 at 07:43:18 Hey I got some padded gloves too. Fieldsheer with the gel pad across the palm. Hope it will help with the hand numbing 60-65mph vibration. I will probably find out before you. It's almost warmed up enough here for riding again! |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by PerrydaSavage on 12/27/04 at 13:30:34 8)Hi guys (and gals)! Well, we're havin' the nasty snowstorm that New England got yesterday ... was out 4 times today already clearin' snow from the driveway ... the 'ol 13 year-old 8 HP Sears thrower is gettin' another workout this year ... Wife and I took a wee trip to Montreal back in Oct. ... that was our X-mas gift to each other. Daughter gave me a 1/18th scale OCC Bike and my friend and Ridin' pal gave me a cool coffee-table book about Sturgis ... which had some great pics, but was also quite a "spiritual" read ... After readin' that book, now I know that I have to go at least once in my life! Any you guys ever been? Any tips you can give a lone Biker, travelling light sans Bike (too far to ship and not enough time off work to Ride)? enjoy the rest of the Christmas Season everyone ... and please remember all of those affected by the Tsunami in S.E. Asia ... |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by Mr 650 on 12/27/04 at 16:58:41 Never been, but my friends have been to Sturgis and Daytona. About 10 years ago I loaned a bud my Nady intercom and turned down a ride to Daytona in the side car. If you don't bring your bike to Sturgis, you may be sorry, lots of good riding thereabouts I hear. There is a slim chance I might get to go this year but more likely next year. I dream about taking 6 months to ride and just track down some of my old homeys, One in Vegas, one in Key West, & one in Nova Scotia. Much as I like it, I am not sure the Savage is the right bike for the task. If the Savage is my cruiser then the no-longer-sold-in-the-US-but-still-in-Europe aluminum 650 Honda Deauville would be my tourer : http://www.dubbelju.com/g_honda/deauville.jpg The new Suzy 650 V-Strom's seat is too high for my taste, |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by gitarzan on 12/27/04 at 18:31:55 That Deauville is a killer looking bike. Modern light tourer looks but it still hasn't got that insect-on-wheels look like most sportsbikes have nowadays. :o |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by cphilip on 12/27/04 at 18:36:08 Touring.... I am seriously looking at a left over Intruder ...800cc water cooled shaft driven goodness....the "stealer" is desperate to get it out the door...calls me with better deals every day.... shhhhhh.... keep it quite... :-X |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by gitarzan on 12/27/04 at 18:52:47 I almost got a new 04 Volusia before I decided on the used Savage. There are times I regret not going for it. Especially after about 125 miles. :-[ I was also considering a new 04 Kaw 800 Drifter (Indian styled) It was black and truly cool looking. But my Savage is black and truly cool looking too. Even gonna be better with the new seat. And, it's real "outsider" bike. I like that. >:( Ever see really good looking chick then realize it's a guy and get the shudders? That's the same effect my bike has at poker runs with the Harley guys. They see it and think, "What the heck is that?" They come up to take a better look, and admire it until they see the Suzuki badge, then they get the willies and walk away like they kissed their mom and she slipped them the tongue. :-X |

Title: Re: Christmas is over...YAY! Post by cphilip on 12/27/04 at 19:21:55 Oh I think I would keep the Savage.... trade/sell the Kids Virago and let him have the Savage instead.... but.... realy.... I got too many toys as it is. I don't really need anything more but for that ever so often longer ride. Probably not enough times to justify it realy... he is ever so persistent and tempting me though. Thing I did like about the Intruder is the narrowness approaches the Savage's and only about 75 more pounds. Its practiacly the same feel to me. Same sitting postion. I do not like the wider bikes in the other lines. Its probably the only Suzy that could and does get my attention. And its black... and he wants to sell pretty bad... seats feel and look nicer and wider too. |

Post by sunny on 12/28/04 at 11:52:07 first off, my gifts to two of the bikers in the office were little keyrings that look like choppers and double as bottle openers. being very surprised, they rushed right out and bought the starter relay i have been in need of for a few weeks. |
