Savage sightings!
10/03/17 at 08:20:15

This last week I was surprised to spot 4 Savages out in public. Two of them were parked at a building construction project along Dixie Highway. The other 2 were in traffic - the 1 I saw yesterday morning was going 75 mph to keep with the other traffic on I-71, and got off at Buttermilk Pike.

Most of the time I only see about 1 a month.

It was nice to see folks using these things for their daily commute.

Good to hear that Savages are out there on the expressways. I've had mine for about six years and I have never seen another one except at the local Suzuki dealer.

Today I rolled my heavier Moto Guzzi out of the garage and as I maneuvered it around to get a straight shot out of the driveway I thought to myself, "I'm getting too old for this." The Savage is so easy to handle, as I get older it will probably be the last bike I ever give up.

I have 2 running, a 2008 Calvin and a 2000 Jackal. I also appreciate the light weight of the Savage, But can not give up my Guzzis. Maybe a switch to a newer V7 when the others get too heavy.

Reply #8 - 10/07/17 at 14:50:46 Or maybe the bike will be the headstone , either way Or maybe me and the bike kinda like vacuum packed in a solid clear resin block( to keep the bike from rusting and preserving my Hollywood good looks ) We could start a new company preserving loved ones and the modo would be "If you love them , vacuum pack them"
