Howdy all,
It's been a number of years since I had a bike, but I've always had a desire to get another one, just mortgages and life in general always seemed to have other priorities. About this time last year my wife and I decided that this summer would be a good time to take the plunge.
We plan to do mostly weekend, fair weather rides two up for a start and go from there, so we are now the next owners of an 07 C50T Boulevard.
First time on a bike for 12 years or so was the test ride 2 up, which went fairly well, then the trip home on my own through the twisties in the rain while er indoors followed in the car. Handling through the twisties was a little different to how I remember my old RD350LC behaved
Went for another short scoot on Tues with er indoors pillion, and she seems to be enjoying it. The 1st time she was ever on a bike was on a short (20 min or so) test ride with me 6 years ago when I was considering getting back on a bike on a shoestring budget (older unreliable bike would probably have cost more in the long run), and the second time on a bike was the aforementioned test run on the boulevard.
We bought new safety gears with the bike and so far so good.
That's about it for now, guess I should go polish some chrome![]()
