Welcome Capt.!  I, too, have considered getting away from heavier motorcycles.  I am still able to muscle them around, so I have kept a couple.  I suppose there will come a time....but not yet!  (I do enjoy the ability to just swing-a-leg over the Savage, back it  out of the garage and blast off)

Hello everyone.

I am Rick from Colorado and as my handle states I am a paranormal investigator and an avid rider. However I am no mechanic.

I have been riding for about 15 years. Even though I grew up around Harleys and the lifestyle that goes with it I was bound and determined to rebel and not be a biker of that sorts. I rode rice as my fam called it for the last 15 years. Luckily I never had an issue with a bike. I have owned, 2 katanas, 7 ninjas, and a cbr.

In 2018 life changed when I went head on against a semi at 70mph in my truck. I am very lucky to be alive and even more lucky to be walking. I still have issues which led me to the purchase of my new bike...well half bike anyway. A 2003 Savage, mostly complete without a single wire left uncut and destroyed in the harness.

Thats what brought me here. I feel im gonna need help on this one.

The bike has been bobbed and a solo seat made for it. Hard tail. Open belt drive. pics once my account is old enough.

Hello everyone! It's been a very long time since I was around these parts. Couldn't login under my old Profile, so had to create a new one   Hope that everyone is well during these strange times and that some of the old crew from back in the early-mid 2000's is still around!

Hey Lancer! Nice to hear from you and to see that you're still around! Unfortunately can't respond to PMs until I have a post count of 10 LOL! Which is ironic 'cause under my original moniker "PerrydaSavage" I had psoted on the SuzukiSavage Forums more than 3000 times!

Am still riding (2010 VT750RS), but after an accident in 2014 which resulted in a broken left tib, fib & ankle, I've cut back quite a bit. Find the Honda a bit weighty to muscle around now too, so am toying with the idea of getting a smaller Bike once again  

Cheers everyone ... see y'all around!

Hey my name is jake, I’m 24 and have been riding for a few years. I picked up a 96 savage from a guy on Craigslist last year, it was running at the time but has lots of small problems. It’s not my daily driver so it’s done a lot of sitting. I’ve finally decided to rebuild it for my best friend to learn on because of its small frame. Figured I’d join this forum to help on our journey, thanks for welcoming me!!

Hi from Italy. (sorry for my unperfect english)

I bought a 94 Savage ls650 in summer 2020.
Replaced damaged tank, installed new tires and subscribed historical registers.
I love driving this little bike, when she work
But she had some issues and i hope this forum can help repair them and make this little bike great again
