Title: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by EarsLikenElf on 05/07/05 at 20:03:21 Just last Wednesday I bought my slightly used(1180 mi.) 1996 Yellow Suzuki Savage!!! I have been excited about this bike for quite some time, and I am so glad This forum/site has been created. Dedicated to the Savage!!!!! I will have pictures to send shortly. Just wanted to say hello! I am Andy, 22 yrs old , Central Valley, CA. This bike is awesome. Couldn't ask for anything more. I would ask questions, but I read enough to find out all the answers I needed.. RIGHT HERE ON THIS SITE! Since I have only had the bike a week, I was only able to get one thing done, and that was to repaint my HD helmet to match the yellow on my bike. I will post pictures when I return home on Monday.. A site dedicated to the Suzuki Savage. This rules.... :D |

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by WD on 05/07/05 at 20:29:15 Another convert to the best cult bike still in production. :D Welcome to the site. If you think of anything, I mean, ANYTHING, you'd like to ask about the bike, feel free to fire away. There are other Savage sites, this is the best one. I like your signature. ;D MMM, bugs! ::) Nothing like riding a bike to make you appreciate life. -WD |

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by Paladin on 05/07/05 at 22:08:45 Welcome. Where in the Central Valley? -- we might be close enough to meet at a mountain part way on Savage Mountain Day. Yeah, it's a good site -- supportive, friendly. Makes up for the odd looks you get from other people. (such as the guy that was frowning at my engine to the point I remarked, "I'm missing something." "Yeah," he replied slightly confused, "the other cylinder." I rode off laughing. |

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by PerrydaSavage on 05/08/05 at 02:43:17 8)Welcome Ears ... from a fellow "Savager" living on the opposite end of the continent! Part of the fun of owning, as WD says, "the best cult Bike still in production", is the delightfully ecclectic mix of people that are proud LS650 Riders! Ride Safe, Ride Proud! |

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by Kropatchek on 05/08/05 at 02:53:32 And a big welcome from the other side of the pont: Holland where the weather is lousy to-day. Mine is also yellow but from 1993, modified by the previous owner. Greetz Kropatchek ;D |

I also have a yellow 96 model, and I am a native Californian...born in Marysville and raised in Cupertino...went to high school with the two founders of Apple...Steve and Steve.

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by Paladin on 05/08/05 at 08:50:05 That red battery is the Odyssey Dry Celltm as discussed in This Thread (http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=RubberSideDown;action=display;num=1105495363;start=9#9) |

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by EarsLikenElf on 05/08/05 at 17:42:17 Talk about a warm welcome, I am about to overheat! I am in Modesto, CA... I am sure you all know where that is now, after the fiasco. It has been hard to get out and ride w/ the weather lately, but I have managed to get out and get a better feel for the bike. This bike has great power for a single cylinder! I rode a suzuki katana 650, and it scared me! Being able to sit up on the bike, put my feet flat on the ground (im only 5'7) makes it so much more enjoyable. I just finished my helmet for my bike, and I'll take some pictures (ima slacker) and post em up! Ride on! |

Title: Re: Finally!!! THIS!! Post by bobo383 on 05/08/05 at 20:03:30 Ears: Welcome from Texas! I have several bikes, and the Savage is my favorite. It seems to read my mind better than all the other bikes, and the low-end grunt is outstanding. Again, welcome! |
