I have a blue and silver 2004 Susuki Intruder Volusia...it's been mistaken for a Harley a few times. I'm always quick to tell them it's not. I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to be an imposter! It's been a good first bike, but I can already see a few things that will need to change for it to become a long term bike. Something other than a stock seat for starters!!

It's been kind of tough for me to ride right now. I got my permit and the bike when Tank (dh) came home from his first tour in Iraq. Then after being home for 3 months we decided that he was going to go back over. So I've pretty much been learning on my own, and all of the weekend trips we had been talking about have been postponed. We were looking forward to a trip through the White Mountains this fall, so it's kind of bittersweet that I'm riding without him. At least now I'll be a little more confident of a rider when he gets home.

You are my idol! :o)

I wish I could remember what kind of bike hubby said he'd get me for a starter. I know is WASN'T a HArley because they are so heavy and they don't turn as eaily as some others. We have a Candy apple red 2005 Yamaha R1 that hubby rides alone, and then for our 2-up bike we have a 2004 Yamaha FJR...it's gorgeous bright deep blue!! I love riding. I hope you wear good gear...? (Please!)

Hey Blackie!! We got us another biker in the Canteen and it's a LADY!!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
