I'm finally buying a bike! - SunsetBengal - 03-22-2024
After many years of wanting and contemplating the idea, I'm finally going to do the thing. Now that I live in a relatively safe, rural county with plenty of slow traffic back roads and quiet highways, I am going to satisfy my urge to be in the wind. My local buddies steered me toward a fantastic deal, as they knew that I didn't want to spend a wad in case it didn't work out. Wish me happy adventures!

Indeed, the plan is just to get reacquainted with riding and managing a heavy bike, by just cruising to work, the gym and grocery at first. Then as confidence builds, maybe do a few day trips as the season rolls on.

Have fun and watch out. I gave up riding about 3 years ago after almost getting killed by some jackass. Miss it, but I've got children to raise

Watch for those that blow grass into the road.

I've been studying the roads that I frequently travel for a couple of years now, most folks seem to be pretty respectful in blowing the clippings away from the road.

I was about to ask if you had ever rode before because that is a BIG bike. I'm not afraid to admit to much bike for me.

Be careful Sunset and God bless!
It sure can be fun, too risky for me though, I have crazy traffic in the summer where I live, right near a freeway.
