Hi Folks!
I'm EssForty, a name which reflects my complete lack of creativity
I recently picked up a 2006 S40 with only 150 miles on it in mint condition from a local seller. Love the bike and I've gathered a lot of great ideas from the postings here. For example, I bought a new windshield, purchased a Clymers, did my own 600 mile inspection, added a digital tach, a Sigma cycle computer and just put on grip puppies. I don't plan any performance mods, but that might change.
I am just getting back into riding after a few years off . but was an avid rider from my teen years into my early 30's. It's great to be back in the saddle again, and it is nice to find such a supportive community of bike owners.
Here's a picture of my bike that I took this morning during my ride to the beach. I live in Melbourne, FL, just a few minutes away from the beach. My daily morning commute follows A1A along the beach, past Cocoa Beach and up thru Cape Canaveral. It's a nice way to start the work day!
