The ONE Best Thing about Riding Your Savage!

They ARE lots of fun, aren't they? But what is your best moment on those beautiful bikes? What is the one reason you go out on that sucker every morning?

The one best thing for me is the sound it makes when I'm cruising along at 65-70 m.p.h. and then I have to back off the throttle for some reason, and that burble comes through!! What a lovely sound...kinda bum..buum....bummmm...bummmmmm with a sort of a throaty almost-roar to it! Beautiful!

What about you?

I like to have a whole day off with nothing to do but take a long leisurely ride up the lake. I do a lot of stopping to look at things, or just to lay back in the grass and watch the puffy white clouds floating by (fair weather cumulous) ...Notice no one ever stops a cage to do this. Then lunch in some little out of the way mom & pop place before setting out for home.
I love the peace and solitude, and the relaxing feeling of satisfaction that a day like this inspires in me.

I love exploring my own neighborhood and seeing things I never saw from my car.

Reply #6 - 11/02/05 at 19:37:52 I'm gonna have to agree with babbalou about the whackin'. Sure is fun, but i think the absolute best thing about riding my Savage is finding a good set of twisties to drag some peg. Not easy to do in coastal Georgia! (all straight flatland here)

Reply #10 - 11/03/05 at 06:46:52 when after carefully manuevering through city trafic and passing a few cars on the outskirts i find myself the lead vehicle with only the curving road and dwindling light that affords me almost but not quite enough time to make it home before pitch dark sets in.

Reply #12 - 11/03/05 at 08:43:33 I agree with Babbalou, Freedom. I don't worry about much when I'm riding, just enjoy being on my bike. I love to find a clear country road and weave the white lines. Both my girls love it too so we do it a lot. Major Two Wheel Therapy

Abso-frickin-lutely! I'm with you and Slopoke on this one. There are even a few roads with a lot of potholes/chugholes that I like because a lot of cages avoid 'em and I get to dance with Nadine between the obstacles.
