Thumpers are fun, aren't they? You wouldn't happen to be the same Papa Bear that owns a Wolf, would you.

Edited: Just found another of your posts that shows your Wolf. I've been following the SymForum (at least the Wolf section). I was seriously considering getting one but could never really answer the question of "Why". I already own a 2015 SR400. What the Wolf has going for it is that they just look like so much fun. I still may get one someday.

Good to see you on here.

Ken

Based on some of your posts over on the SYM forum, I predict you will have a long, happy relationship with your S40. Have you ever ridden over the bridge at Mackinac? I grew up in Ohio, and that was a rite of passage. Did it on a Honda CB350. Scared the bejesus out of me Shocked

! But that was a long time ago in a land now far away. I am a very conservative rider now, and my 2012 S40 with +5,000 miles could pass for brand new. All stock except the rear shocks and petcock.

UNDER the bridge Was an...ummm..."exciting" introduction to bridge grating

It was 1972, and I was somewhere between "Twist and Shout" and "Shakin' All Over". Grin
