Default New Rider: Second Bike

Hello,

My name is Ryan.

I am from the Saint Louis metro and Ive been riding since february.

My first bike was a decrepit gn400 that I rode 400 miles. I rode friends bikes and my dads 87 Shadow and determined I could not live with my gn400.

So I purchased a 2001 vlx600. Bike is a little on the small side but very comfortable, smooth, and has enough nuts for the highway. Perfect.

Joining the forum for the technical resource, classifieds, and to share stories and ideas.

Ryan

Hello and welcome, Ryan.

I'm certain you'll find enough 'technical resources', 'classifieds', 'stories and ideas' to fill your saddle bags.

And your bike having 'enough nuts for the highway' is always a good thing.

I wish I could say the same thing about my nuts.
