Picked up my new-to-me '93 last night

[LizardQueen]

Last night we picked the bike up at the dealer where we bought it and DH rode it back to our town, while I followed him in the car.

Now, DH is about 6'1", 270 lbs, older (52), bearded, and graying, with a heavy black leather jacket and black real motorcycle boots. The bike is red with pink stripes, white wheels, and a reflective purple pussycat sticker on the rear fender (put there by the previous owner).

He looked like a circus bear on a bicycle :lol: - I nearly drove off the road laughing when I saw him on it.  

He said that at one point on the way home he passed a man and a woman on a Harley, and the woman nearly snapped her neck turning to stare at him.  Needless to say, they didn't wave :lol: .

Anyway, I got to drive it around some local parking lots for awhile until we got too hungry and headed home for dinner.  It fits real good - feels much better moving than it did standing still.  Easy to drive, easy clutch, non-twitchy throttle, brakes aren't grabby, it really fits me well.  

I completely lucked out when I found it in the dismal used market we have up here!

Now I gotta find a jacket so I can get out of the parking lots!

make sure you get gear that fits well in the 'rider' position and you should be set to go. Have fun and post some pics when you get a chance!  :mrgreen:
