WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR?
09/08/08 at 09:31:13
I got my bike to go to work and give me some fun at the same time. 2007 stock, white, windsheild, saddlebags, drivers backrest, and seat lift. Riding home last week from work at 11pm I must have been lost in riding, I missed my turn to go home! Extra 10 miles ups. love this bike

I use my bike for leisure use and on weekends I ride it to work, about 35 miles round trip.

I have a 70-mile round trip commute to work, which was the original purpose for getting this bike (gas mileage)...
but,
I ride it just about every evening for at least an additional hour out in the countryside, for the sheer delight and pleasure of it. My husband and I both got bikes about 3 months ago and we are hooked. On the weekends, we have been taking longer day trips and now are pondering winter gear. No WAY these puppies are going in the garage for 3 months.
50 years old before I discovered biking....better late than never. Had I known how enjoyable / mind-freeing / focusing / relaxing / exciting this would be, I would have done it a long time ago.
And I LOVE my Savage...so much heart.
Ride safe,
Amy

I don't have my Savage anymore, but I commute on my Concours (don't use four wheels anymore unless I have too many people or need to carry things too big for me to think it's a good idea to carry on two) unless the roads are covered with ice and snow.

Summer of '04 -- the Camaro was in need of exensive rehabiltation, my attempt to buy my retired company van fell through, I needed transportation.
Wife queried, "Have you considered a motorcycle?"

Was looking for something fun to do and was scouting out motorcycles as I have the license and rode many years ago. Sat on a Savage in the showroom, and it felt just right. Afer 2 weeks of humming & hawing, and getting the wife ok with the idea, took the plunge and got a new Savage. I use it to commute to work, 35 mile round trip, when it isn't poring rain. I will also run errands with it, which is basically any excuse to go for a ride. And, day trips have happened on the weekends when time permits.
The Savage is by far the most funn purchase I have made in a long long time.

Ride my LS 25 miles rt to work and my wife does the same. She talked me into getting one then we had to have another. Never knew I was missing so much fun..we ride about everywhere we can rain or shine..unless we have the grand kids...they are too small I would be afraid they would not hang on.

Bought mine a couple years ago to help keep miles off my aging truck. Then I moved to within a mile of work. Now I don't have an "excuse" anymore, I just ride to alleviate the stress of working with the public every day. Rides great, but has trouble turning into the parking lot at work. Only happens on the way TO work, never leaving. Imagine that!!!

So far,
Weekend rides around the back roads here, or on Hwy 101 Sunday mornings when traffic is light. I am new to motorcycles and want to build my skills before I try commuting to work during peak traffic.

A few months ago out of the blue the wife says, " The way gas prices are going you should get a motorcycle".
You could have knocked me over with a feather. Momma didn't raise no fool , within two weeks I happened upon a newly used savage and use it for daily commuting and deliveries and FUN.
Now I think I have the MOD addiction,... somebody stop me please.
Just kidding
