Hello everyone.  My first machine was a '78 Suzi GS400X back in '89.  Since then I've run a Yamaha, Triumph (regret giving that one away), another Suzuki, and an H-D.  Just got the Boulevard a month or so ago after going quite a few years without riding.  It's a great little machine (runs like a raped ape!) although at 6'1" I am a bit tall for it - forward controls are in the near future.  I found this site mentioned on a YouTube video comment, so a huge "Thank you" to whoever posted that.  Let me know if you're planning on attending Thunder In The Valley (Johnstown, PA) next month and maybe we can hook up for a ride together.  Blessings to you all and be safe out there.  ---Scroop

So right Scroop!  

Welcome new folks.  Stick around!

Hi, I'm Dwane from Vancouver WA (suburb of Portland) I've owned dozens of bikes in my 63 years, my current daily driver is a wee-strom.
My brothers, in Honolulu, have a coooool savage bobber and on a recent visit there I fell in love with it and decided I had to have one. So, I bought a low mile 09 insurance total for a song and I'm determined to build a shoe string, rattle can, old school bobber. I've already straightened the forks using an old shop press and a straight edge, and have some of the parts I need. I'll be contacting Lancer for a jet kit to go with the after market junk yard exhaust I found. I'm still looking for a pair of stock shocks and a pair of stock pegs, a right side cover and a stock horn, I think there are a few RYCA builders on the market place that may be able to help me. My daughter says she can show me how to put pictures on here so I'll try and show you all the finished product. I'm glad you're all here so I can be here with you.   

Hey there everyone!  My name is Tammie and I am sooooo excited to be here.  I am a brand new rider who just bought a beautiful little 2005 S40.  The previous owner did a wonderful job in maintaining this baby.  I'm in Texas so I am looking forward to having a lot of ride time as we hardly ever get a winter here.  Looking forward to meeting everyone, learning more about my bike and Sharing in the fun.    

This is the first Forum I've ever joined and Scroop wants pictures. hehehehe  help? I see the insert image button but I'm not sure how to do that or where I should post them.
