Hello folks!  I'm Jason and I live in Central Texas, just north of Austin.  Growing up I was on motor scooters, bicycles and friend's dirt bikes all the time, but after I got my drivers license I bought a car and forgot about bikes... or so I thought.  

I finally listened to the voice in the back of my head last year and completed my MSF, got my M endorsement, and have been on two wheels daily ever since.  My daily ride is an 03 Honda ST1300, and I also have a 1980 Suzuki GS850.  My wife and I love getting on the Honda together and getting lost for a few hours or a few days.

My wife has completed her MSF course and has her M endorsement too, but the old, tall, heavy GS850 that was my reentry into the world of riding is a bit too imposing for her.  Needless to say, the ST1300 isn't a good bike to learn on either, as it is even heavier and with 120HP isn't very forgiving.

So, tonight we purchased an 03 Savage for her to ride.  From the moment she sat on the bike, she felt comfortable with the height and weight.  I have to say, I was really impressed with how the little LS felt when I took it out for a test ride, and it came home with us.

It needs some work before it's ready for daily road duty, but I sure did enjoy riding it home.  I'm looking forward to fixing it up and seeing her riding it alongside me.  


edit - picture!  I'll take more once it's cleaned up some

Hi There Peeps,
         
I have just started getting back into motorbikes after having a few years off from riding them previous bikes inc, Buell X1 lightning and Ducati Monster along with a miriad of sports bikes

I saw this 97 savage that had some mods on it and decided that it was just the right sort of thing to ease me back into things.

Its my first savage and I must say being a little machine this thing sounds the bizz (it has a supertrap exhaust) its easy to ride and light. I can see me having many happy times on it I'll post a picture of the beast when i have time to get one sorted if anyones interested.

Nice looking ride and rider.

I saw the magenta in the showroom. It's beautiful in the sunlight!

I have the magenta two tone S40. We've parked the bike in front the deck and had our coffee in the morning watching it change colors. I know...it's weird.

Great picture too!  
Please post more when you get the saddlebags,etc installed. I'm curious what that will look like - I'm thinking of the nylon type bags just on the passenger seat. Have WindVest shield coming soon, they are altering it to fit.
