Hello everyone,
Its nice to meet you and thank you for accepting my request to join. You probably wont hear much from me but since I will be lurking I feel its fair to intro myself... Ill tell you how I ended up here... (Sorry if its long but it has a good ending)
In '86 when the savage came out I was in high sch. I seen one at our fair "hot off the press" so to speak and knew I had to have one. At age 16, not likely. Fast forward many years.. Im was a driver. 14 yrs in tri-axle dump trucks. Gave it up 5ish yrs ago. I stay home and take care of the house/property and husband. We got married on his Harley. Dressed in leathers at the JP and for many years I have been happy on the back of his bike...
Then it happened.. 2019 approached and Im gonna be 50. Sigh. I decided my present to me would be an M on the back of my license. It was time. I signed up for PMSC and the adventure began in April. I passed my course with no problem. It both rained and snowed on test day. yup.
Hubby got me a GZ250 and I rode about 300 miles on it. I knew I was outgrowing it quickly but didnt plan on moving up til next summer..
Then a series of events happened at our house that landed us with a monster enduro bike. Not our style at all. Its gotta go, ASAP. Next thing I know Im off to the Harley shop with my hubby to look for my next bike. They wanted that enduro.
I sat on bike after bike in those show rooms (Its a huge place with so many bikes, all kinds...) Nope, Nope, Nope.. Nothing I liked at all. and Hubby, he knows me well asks sales lady "Do you have a trade in or scratch dent barn?" Off we go out back where she eventually finds a key to the "barn". Dust rolled when she opened the door. (Not really but no one had been in there in awhile) Im sitting on yet another bike I dont really like when Hubby points back in a dark corner and says "Hey go look at that bike over there" so I weave my way back and there it is.... I sat on it  and angels sang I kid you not. "AAAAAAHHHH" Post it on speedometer says needs battery. They pulled it out, got it started.... well Its mine now. I am so freakin happy!! 2007 Savage s40.
Im a newbie. I know that and honestly I dont really know what I have yet.(I just got it Sat) But I want to learn because this bike has been a long time coming and theres going to be many happy miles Im sure. So hello. Sorry that was long.  But thats how I got here. Heres a pic of my bike...

Yep 😎

I see your girl likes BOOTS !   😎🏍

Angela here! I am a one month owner/rider of my 2006 Suzuki Boulevard s40 2006.  I wanted to introduce myself and make some motorcycle friends considering I have none in the outside world, it would be very helpful for me to join your family here. I have already ran into some complications and your insight would be terrific for navigating this new world. If you are willing to take me under your arm , or ride behind you ... please say hello👋🏽
