Title: hey from McCalla
Post by: Motrctyman on October 20, 2017, 08:40:22 AM

My wife & I hadn't ridden in over 35 years. Her first & only bike was a 71 Suzuki 125. My first & only was a 72 Triumph Daytona. We went to a Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival 5 years ago for fun, and my wife had to get another bike. We started looking for a bike and took the Motorcycle safety class in Montevallo. She then got a Yamaha VStar 250. She rode it the next year to the BVMF and decided it was time for a bigger bike. She then got a Suzuki S40. She rides it often to work at UA. So now I am looking for something similar, like a small cruiser. We normally don't take the bikes out of the Jefferson or Tuscaloosa counties. We've been to the BVMF 4 times now and look forward to it each year. So that's our story. We'll try to make it to a Gymkhana one of these days. Thanks for the add. - Chris

Update, Nancy sold the VStar and is riding the S40.
I bought my first bike in about 40 years, a 2007 Suzuki S50 with 1950 miles. Replacing tires, fluids, fork seals, etc. Can't wait to ride. See ya on the road!
