Savage Sightings in your area
10/14/14 at 17:36:53
I didn't see this particular thread on this site. I get a kick when I see another LS650/Savage/S40 in my area and, since I saw one today, I thought I would start off.
This is a cool topic that's used on a scooter forum where I hang out.
10/14/14, around 4 p.m.
White S40 on Sheridan Parkway in ~Westminster, CO near HWY 7. Looked to be a femalian rider in full gear. We tossed the wave to each other. I was on the black S40 with black saddlebags, wearing a black helmet and black T-shirt. (I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color).
You on this forum?

Only other one that I've ever seen was parked at Auto Zone a few months ago. Didn't have time to stop and chat.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

I've passed 3 or 4 different ones around here. There's a guy right down the street from me that owns one.

Not here. I think they keep them locked up with the rocking horse turds and hen's teeth. Only available for 1 year (1986) in Oz and not even popular back then

I've only ever seen 2 plus the one I bought. The 2 I saw were SW Michigan and Just across the Michigan/ Indiana border. The local bike shop didn't even have one.

Poor Gizzo, come across the ditch and buy one new for $AUD 7875 approx. Used 2006-8's $5400 AUD approx. Shipping it back and rego, your "challenge, problem, issue".
I see a few now and again, but here many seem to regard them as a learner bike and quickly want to step up to bigger and brighter. We have our share of people supercharging, bobbing, there is a firm in Auckland doing this, the very occasional Ryca, one for sale on
www.trademe.co.nz
now. We get our share of quite low mileage second hand as well.
Perhaps the "cool" people realise they're for fifty to eighty year old male riders

A few weeks ago I was sitting on my bike in my friends driveway chatting and this fella pulled up on his new 650. Apparently he has had dirt bikes before and this was his first road bike and longest ride was maybe 50 miles round trip. Invited him to ride with us. a couple of days later and I think we wore him out. Left around 11am and by dark we had covered a little more than 300 miles. A bit much for him on his first real ride since most of it was on twisty roads. Our next ride was more fun but still a 300 mile round trip. rode to the Oregon coast on a beautiful day and had lunch and then rode up to Astoria and across this mile long bridge into Washington and then rode this great road where you could go 55 to 65 mph for a hundred miles with long swooping curves and not one stop light. Took a ferry across the Columbia river back into Oregon and then rode home. Other than Savage Greg and his wife Julie who both owned Savages he was the first rider I have met with a 650. A good friend now and he will be a new member into this site.

The friend I bought mine from has seen an identical bike in the area. She always thinks it's me until she remembers that I pulled the badges off the tank, and that we wear different color helmets.
I've yet to come across another.

Pretty amazing for being such a popular bike. I guess people just take them out for quick jaunts or ride it, get something else, keep it in the garage. That's what mine was.
