Yep, you sound like me. I started riding a motorcycle at the healthy age of 9. I had ridden mini bikes before that. I rode for many years owning several small bikes. When I was 17 I had a terrible wreck on my Honda 360. A dog ran out in front of me doing about 60. Not only did it lay me up for a couple of months but it put a fear into me. A fear that would take away the joy of riding. Many years later a friend gave me a Honda 350 and even though I was grown and pretty big and therefore needed a bigger bike I had a lot of fun on it. Rode it mostly in the country. It was very used and abused by the time this friend gave it to me so it didn't last long. That was six years ago and I haven't had a bike since. I am hoping to get another one this march if I get enough back on my income tax. I went to the Suzuki shop today and looked at the savage but I am thinking I need something bigger. I am a very big man so I am not sure the 650 will suit me. What do you all think?
