Got a Bike!

I've been looking for a motorcycle for several months.  One I could take on a long trip or around town.  The Suzuki Boulevard C-50, cool looking Cruiser, got my attention in a Popular Mechanics magazine.  It was rated very high, and among them was the Honda Shadow..  The research on the bike provided many, many positive reviews.  Everybody liked it.  I decided that was the bike for me

Then I started looking for a touring bide.  If I was going to ride to New Mexico or North Carolina I didn't want saddle sores, so to speak.  I wanted to enjoy the ride.  Lo and behold, the Honda Goldwing.  It's considered the best by most critics.  The huge seats and amenities were extremely appealing.  Thus  I went on the search.  I found a couple and almost bought one.  It was huge.  A behemoth of a creation.  Was this what I really wanted?

A friend's husband, Mike, was helping looking in the search for a Goldwing.  He owns one and loves it.  As he was looking he came across a Honda Shadow Aero.  Since I'm not very long legged, that means short, this might be the bike I needed.  I thought it was very cool.  Then it struck me.  This is similar to the Suzuki Boulevard.  If I'm going to get a Cruiser then I might as well get the Boulevard.  I did!

May 3rd I found an bought a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard C-50.
