why is it that you can have other bikes WAAY more comfy but when you hop back on the savage you come home with a giant smile and a monkeybutt you keep thinkin about the next time you get her out on the road again... Like a second date.. ::) golly have i missed riding this little beast.. FYI i will NEVER be without this little hog! :D

I gotta agree. Though I've ridden the little bugger on 1,000-plus mile trips, I will probably upgrade to a fatter HD for the long trips. Eventually. When I can afford it. Like when I retire.

But as long as I'm able to ride, I will always own a Savage. Nothing beats it around town, and it really CAN hack it on the long rides.

Agreed. We have two and a half of them now. My boy wants to start riding. He wants a Ninja or one of those other speedy looking rigs. I told him NO. If he wants to ride, we will get a third Savage. I don't think you can beat them.

Incidentally, I'm shopping in the less than two thousand dollar range, if anyone hears of something. It would need to be road-worthy, because I'd probably have to ride the bus to wherever it was located and then ride the bike home. I'm willing to make the sacrifice of a long ride on a new bike... for the love of my darling child, of course. Not because I'd enjoy it or anything.

If you decide to buy it let me know and I'll treat to lunch at Columbia's Steak House. Home of the famous "Night Hawk Special" ;)

I've decided, next time I hear that from the hog hauler crowd, I'm just gonna say 'yeah, but it's been real good to me, cheap to run, cheap to keep. But maybe I just need to see what I'm missin'. Tell you what, show me your favorite ride, if I can't keep up... it'll sure tell me something'
I might even put the quicksilver back on [smiley=evil.gif]
and the open trapp cap [smiley=evil.gif]
and lean out the idle mixture for maximum effect on shut down [smiley=evil.gif]
Of course I'll have to stop up front [smiley=evil.gif]
put the kickstand and get off cause I don't want to knock it over cause I'm coughing and turnin' blue [smiley=evil.gif]

I gotta agree with Hard Corp, a bigger, more comfy bike for 2 up and longer trips and Bettie for commuting and afternoon jaunts.

gotta revisit the thread about alternative bikes....

On yer quest a good site i found that answers to the what if questions on a second bike..
http://advrider.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12
lots of good info.. I myself for 4k picked up a caddy of a bike complete with lots of room for me an the backseat driver.. ;D ... the royal star is a beast of a bike that is more than capable of making you look like a goon smoking the harleys... you will wanna hop back on the savage though ... to me it feels like the savage is angry knowing you ride another bike.. i do indeed love the SINGLE savage! ;D

This http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1704440173.html showed up today but there little to no information about it.

Here's http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/1701409395.html from a couple of days ago but it's a tad out of your $$ range.

I know thw feeling. When I rode the Yamaha 850 triple home I was amazed at the versatility and the power of the thing but I also rtecognize the suitability and the fun factor of my original ride, Suzuki GZ250, and declared I will never turn loose of that feeling. I use both regularly and have NO regrets.
