Welcome. That's a good one. You've mastered middle age because you've been doing it a long time. Very humorous.

Maybe you can teach us the secret of Easy Money.

As I said in the other thread, I hope you get the leak squared away soon and can do some riding now that the weather is oppressively hot and humid.

So, I'm the FNG (Fairly New Guy).
I am a middle-aged man and I have been middle-aged long enough to be good at it. I am married to a hot young chick, and am lucky enough to have been married to her for 54 years and counting. We have two kids, nine grandchildren, and one great-grand child.
We retired from our own custom window blind business in Maryland a few years ago and moved to Florida.
I have owned a KZ 750, a KZ 1000 and a Voyager xii, but have been off two wheels a few years. I just bought a somewhat bobbed 2013 S40 and a big box of parts.
Let the party begin.

Hi all, I'm Luc from Madison WI. I've been pretty religiously reading this forum for a few months since I got my first bike: an '05 S40 that hadn't run in 5 years or so. Though I am a mechanic by trade, apparently carburetors are beyond me so I still haven't been able to get it running right :'(. I'll be putting up another thread with my situation and issues so if you happen to see it and have some advice I'd appreciate it!

Hey all. Figured it was time I introduced myself. I'm 54 retired army diesel mechanic. I've been turning wrenches most of my life.working on bikes is a different animal to me though, even though the principles of the engine are the same it's still a different beast.
My bike is an 03 LS650 14k miles. In the process of getting it fully road worthy. Thanks for reading

I have a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard s40 and came to love the bike and wanted to meet people with similar bikes. If anyone has any tips or things I should know I'd love to hear them.

Welcome to the Savage site. There are plenty of good and knowledgeable folks here who can help/guide you through anything you may want or need to do to your bike.
A couple of points for now: check oil level with bike upright, not on the side stand; and don’t let the engine idle for more than a couple of minutes while on the side stand.

Low pressure/high volume oil system so oil doesn't want to find a leak is good , but it's a long way to the top of the head !
