I bought a 1995 Savage w/ 5200 miles on it about 4 weeks ago. It was only $1700. But i just got my M1 on the 20th. It was incredably hard to let it sit in the grage for a month and only start her up here and there for fun.

but now i have ridden her all over town for 3 days straight and i freaken love it. Durring my painfull waiting period i found you guys online and have been looking through all of the posts. You guys really made me feel good about my purchus and got me psyced to get on her. she is fun, plenty of torque, and i love it when she backfires, and when she does it, i just smirk and say, yeah, she does that.

Quick question. I just got back from Moto Gp at Leguna Seca in monteray CA, about 108 miles south of where i live on the west coast. I drove in my car, but wondered if the Savage could handle a ride like the, its 50-60 the entire way down high way 1 with pleny of places to stop. Would taking the bike down there be ill advised? or would it be more fun than a hassle?

Also, My left mirror keeps comming loose, i wrench it back into place, but she wont stop swivling/shaking lose. Any sugestions?

Thank you all for such a great fourm, and also for dealing with my less than satisfactory spelling.

P.S. i can be contacted through the fourm, E-mail (wich i think is posted) or at www.myspace.com/Prowler99

Big W,

Howdy, and welcome to THE Savage website.

Quite a few years back I used to hang out in Cupertino, but that has been a long time.

Cupertino is cool, i just went to see a Highschool grad there, i work near it. (to lancer) and to holodeck, thanks for the encouragement. Awsome, i think ill hit US 92 to US1 this week and test it out. Im happy to hear it and thank you for a great reception

oh yeah, lol, the mirror! It comes lose at the base of the mirror where it meets the handle bar. I meen, its easy to fix but gets to be a hassle over and over and over. Is there a better way to tighten it down, or get a new set of mirrors maby? I hate trying to look at my left mirror and instead of seeing traffic, i just see my big noggin =) thanks for the advice and warm welcom

thanks, luckly Iv only seen 2 other savages in my area, they seem to be bigger on the east coast and in europ. Im near San Fransisco and i have the only red one. So for now im just loven it, but for sure ill add a pipe and other things latter. on that note, does anyone know where to find a gel seat?
