Welcome to the site. Here is how you post a picture. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1218391284

 Newbe on the street. Wanted to drop in for a quick intro.

 Found the Forum and have been reading up, and decided to join ya's.

  My name's Ron and I hail from Ohio. 48 yrs. old and first timer on a bike. Was married, ( WAS ) for 16 yrs. with no kids, so I'm free to ride. Bought a Black '01 w/ 4800 miles a couple months ago and ride every chance I get. Love this bike !

 Always wanted a bike, so I took the plunge. Don't know much about them, but I'm learning fast. Pic below is the bike when I bought it. Only mods I've done are to add Chrome trim around the tank lip and a windshield. It wasn't the wind, it was the never-ending bug collection that was bothering me..

Won't post much, but I'LL be here if ya need me,,, just check yer mirrors, I'LL be lagging behind somewhere within sight.

Here she is:




 

well, this is Vargas. I took my screen name from one of the most famous painters of all time.  I live in central Indiana and have had my Suzi  since April. I bought a scooter first, I like it - but ... no muscleto it. When I twist the throtle on suzi shesends me to the back of the seat. But, my scooter,with 14 inch wheels-has anyone seen the "matrix reloaded"?  I can steer that scooter with my butt-flick it around stones in the road. Can I learn to stear suzi like that?

Hi there you lot, Brit Savage rider here 1989 model, been wandering the pages and thought it was time to register!

All the best

Swampy!

So glad I found this website what a great thing. New member as of today !!!!  I currently have a 2004 suzuki savage ls650 with 13,000 miles on it and a 2005 S40 with about 6000 miles on it. i took about a ten year break from riding after a bad wreck and decided to get back on the bike about 6 months ago. After looking at a few bikes I test drove the 2004 and loved the ride. Since then I've run wild and my wife has joined me. I bought her an old honda rebel to learn to ride and after about a week she was shopping for a new bike SHE WAS HOOKED  !!!!   Last week we bought her a 2001 suzuki GZ 250 in near showroom condition and now she wants to ride just about every day.  Anyhow have made a few mods to the 2004 but have decided to sell that bike and concentrate on my 05 because I just love riding it.  Hope to meet some other savage owners here and if you are anywhere in the columbia south carolina area let's ride !!

Hi everyone. I just signed on here. I've been lurking for about a week. I needed some help with a '97 that I just bought and found this site. What a help! The typical problems of the Savage are all found on the bike I just bought. You have already helped me greatly.
I'm a 53 yr old PITA from southern Illinois. I've had a few bikes (73 Honda 250 street/trail, 70 something Sportster hardtail chopper, late 80s FLH, 98 Softail, Possibly the first FSRX ever built, and a custom built tricked out chopper). As you can see most of them have been big V-twins. I swore off bikes about 4 yr ago, thinking I was too old and was goning to get crunched by a car or truck. Recently I have found the need for another bike.
Right now my bike is stock. That just can't continue! I have built a lot of hot rod cars. Nothing leaves my garage stock. I have a desire to make a bobber out of this bike but just can't make myself take it that far apart. They make nice bobbers, but look pretty darn good just the way they came from the factory. I'm thinking the blinkers will come off, the side markers are already in a box, a different muffler, that means a carb rejet so I just as well put on a cone air filter. It just snowballs. So far I have the tank off for paint. It was dinged up pretty bad. The head cover is off waiting for an oil plug from the dealer. I had the seat reupholstered which turned out like crap. The sewn lines going across the front part are not square with the seat. The bike had seen some outside storage so some of the bolts are showing a little rust. I have cleaned everything except the motor which has a dirty jug. I've been soaking that with penetrating oil trying to get the caked on oil loose.
As usual I got a little windy...
Again, Hi everyone!

Joe Friday - Centre Alabama...  Been ridin' something with 2 wheels for right at 50 years.  Over time I've been seen on everything from a Briggs and Stratton mini bike to full dressers...  Mostly Jap and HD, but an occasional Britt and at least one made in Italy...  GF just added a 05 model S40 to our stable a week or so ago and I found this forum right away...  Been lurkin' here ever since and have already picked up quite a few tips about the new beast.

Currently in addition to the S40 we have a 250 Nighthawk that she used to learn on, a couple of Roadstars (1600 & 1700) as well as a GL1800 Goldwing we use for the long trips.
