My new toy! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Kim · 07-11-2004, 06:27 AM

Guess hubby decided I didn't have to wait til September after all. We went out to look at this bike yesterday and bought it! It's a '95 Suzuki Intruder 800. They're tuning it up for us and it'll be ready early next week. I'm so excited! I have no idea how to drive it yet but hubby will teach me a few things until my class starts.

For some reason I can't link a pic from my picture hosting site so here's a link to it from cycle trader. Motorcycle

NICE bike, Kim! Congratulations, and kudos to hubby for being so supportive!

Take it slow, and gradually build up to riding on the street. Take the course with an open mind, and read everything you can on safer motorcycling. Motorcycle Consumer News has regular features on safer riding, and there are some books available at outlets like Whitehorse Press which you may find helpful.

Enjoy, and welcome to the wind! :8a:

Nice ride and a nice price as well.

Take it slow till you get that rider course finished.
They teach you alot there.

Congratulations Kim! I'm toying with the idea of riding myself. Kinda tired of being a back seat rider, especially without a sissy-bar.
That's a nice lookin bike, and would look like a good one to refresh the riding skills on! Have fun!

I've already been gleening all the info I can off of the web. My mom works with a guy who just took the course. He let her borrow the manual for me to check out! That will be a nice head start, but I intend to learn all I can from the class.
