I guess I'd better introduce myself since I just joined the forum. I'm Annie and I'm about to not only buy my first Savage but also my first motorcycle. I found a 2001 in great condition with a brand new engine. UP until now I have done most of my commuting and daily traveling by bicycle but I needed a little something to take my those extra few miles out of town.

I'm a traditional herbalist and I teach nature studies. Oh and a musician. I need to be able to get around to take care of business better and I didn't want to go back to being in a tin box. It also suits that little bit of warrior spirit I have - but then being Cherokee, Seneca and Irish can be a little bit of a scary combination. Wink

This forum already helped me to make the final decision to go crazy and get the Savage. Thanks for all the help you didn't know you were giving!

I figured I will introduce myself. I'm Timmy. Live in the Tampa Bay area, which is about as close to paradise as I have seen. Love the year round riding. The wife and I was in the wind on the coldest day of the year so far (wifes truck was down with a bad oil pump Wink

). We love our '05 Savage ( aka S40 ). It was my Father's Day present in '05. Hope get to know y'all and learn a lot.

I have been riding since 1991 and have owned 8 bikes in that time ranging from a KZ550 to a 1999 Yamaha Venture. My last bike was an 02 Kaw Nomad. I traded it in 2007 for a sports car. I have a 4 year old son and was questioning the wisdom of riding a bike when I have a young child. I miss riding so I am back in the market for a bike. I will mainly use it for fun rides, not commuting like I used to do. My Dad's wife is selling an 04 Savage that I will likely buy next month. I was a motorcycle safety instructor from 2001 to 2005. It was fun but I didn't like giving up my entire weekend after working my day job all week.

Hey everyone, my name is Jay and Im a 28 y/o stand-up comic in Keavy KY. I bought a 2000 savage about a year ago, its green. Honestly i debated buying it because i read some pretty bad reviews on the internet about savages. Things like "The only thing savage about this bike is its name." Stuff like that. However it was so cheap that i delved deeper and found this place. I lurked a while and never posted back when the site wasnt so modern(nice updates!) After research i found out that this bike is loved by alot of people and decided to go ride it. I absolutely loved it. So fast off the line and small enough to maneuver.

Ive been riding bikes since i was about 6 but i hadnt been on a public roadway since i was 16 or 17. I used to have a yamaha serow 225. Another little thumper that is a GREAT street and trail btw. Being used to dirtbikes however i got on the savage and said "this tank and body ect is PLENTY big enough for me." I was used to light thin bikes so i didnt want a huge cruiser that felt like a boat.

So far i have put a screamin eagle muffler, did the de-snorkel, rejetted, and put on some new mirrors and a brake fluid cover. I love the bike and have learned alot from this site. I plan to contribute some, not really in a mechanical way, but as being a fellow enthusiast. Thanks everyone, look forward to posting now!

-Jay

Hello My name is Jim. I'm in the process of buying my first Suzuki motorcycle a 2000 LS650. I've ridden Yamaha and Honda's before, but I'm really looking forward to the ride on a thumper. I'm an older guy [59] and really excited about this bike. Any insider advice would be willingly excepted. Thanks for your time and looking forward to anything you have to offer an old guy.

Welcome aboard Jim. We're sorry, but you don't qualify as an "older guy" yet! I think you still fit the "middle age" of Savage riders on this forum. I'm just a babe at 44 Cheesy

Hopefully, you come to love and enjoy your new Savage. And this is the best place to find out more about it and what you can do to it in way of changes.

Gary
Thanks for the reply to my introduction. Hope this winter weather here in Pa. soon leaves, I can hear the road calling to me and my son.
By the way, my son rides a 1000cc Yamaha R1 crotch rocket. I've never accused him of being a genius, but he is a good rider. Hope he keeps his respect for the bike and his skills. Any one is invited to bust his butt about riding a suicide machine. He's young, good natured , and needs someone to bust on him.See everyone soon on line.
