" Well i plan on having a bit of fun with this ride just to see how crazy 150cc can be HaHaHa !!! "
How crazy on a 150.5cc Scooter? How about running the Interstates in California?
Legally your 150cc scoot is a motorcycle, can legally run any highway.

Uncle Buck is macho enough to handle a teenage female!
Buck: What time do you want me to pick you up after school?
Tia: Don't bother! I'll get a ride with friends
Buck: No, I have my orders. What time?
Tia: Are you really this stupid? I said I would get a ride. I always get a ride.
Buck: Hey, I'll just call the school, find out what time, and meet you right here.
Tia: Go ahead, call the school. I won't be here.
Buck: Stand me up today and tomorrow I'll drive you to school in my robe and pajamas and walk you to your first class. 4:00 okay?

,,,getting back to the savage,,,a more simple stone has not left Japan ever,,,it's not everyone's cup of tea,,,I'd have one i ,,,it would be under the knife for some major surgery ,,,, The Savage is like an old Volkswagen -- easy to modify to fit. Like Morley's Light Tourer, Gargoyle's Bobber, Hog Hunter's Chopper, or a Cafe racer:     If you want a lightweight bike that is wickedly quick, it is a good start. |

Just been looking on the Internet, seems that Medicare covers me jes' fine. Going back about the S40/Savage: www.progressive.com/newsroom/article/2005/june/motorcycle-tips/The four Japanese Sport bikes -- Suzuki GSX-R Series, Kawasaki Ninja Series, Yamaha YZF Series, and Honda CBR Series -- sit in slots 1-5 on both most crashed and most stolen motorcycles. The Suzuki Savage (S40) is third least crashed and least stolen motorcycle. Gee...considering the huge number of different bikes "Ninja Series" or "CBR Series" covers (from learner bikes to 180+MPH superbikes), that is basically a meaningless statement. I would love to know where Harleys rank on the most-stolen list. I would also like tyo know EXACTLY how they arrived at their conclusions...for example, do their numbers include bikes that were stolen, but no insurance claim was made? (I suspect many Savages, being worth very little money, are not insured against theft.) You would have to ask Progressive Insurance, but since insurance companies care about money and rates I would assume they know what various bikes are more likely to be crashed and stolen and set their rates accordingly. When I switched from the 650cc cruiser to a 150cc scooter they increased my rates; not much, but the figure people get more frisky on a scooter than a small cruiser. But think about it. Who is more likely to crash -- a dude laid back on a small cruiser or one pushing the limits on a sport bike? And then when a bike is crashed the owner will need replacement parts, which are available at "midnight auto." |

Statistically, helmeted riders have the same risk of deaths/accident as unhelmeted riders. Motorcycle insurance companies don't even ask if the rider uses ATGATT or nothing. The money is the same, helmeted or not. As again, why do you hate people that ride differently than you? Read the fine print on the addendum on your PIP or general health insurance policies as many while the agent won't ask will have a section titled something like Extreme or High Risk activities that will not be covered. Under those types of addendum's many policies are putting waivers excluding riding without a helmet or even riding a motorcycle from being covered.... eh. I fell down, buggered my shoulder and broke four ribs. Went the emergency thingie, later went to various doctors, no one cared that I fell on my scoot. Motorcycle riding is not an extreme high risk activity -- unless you are playing racer on the streets. |

I don't ask you do ride as I ride. Why do you want me to ride as you ride? ... Yes, you are also partly responsible for everyone having to pay higher insurance rates and for more money having to be set aside to pay for under or uninsured riders who get more catastrophically injured in minor accidents that a AGATT rider would most often walk away from with minor bruises and abraisions.... Statistically, those who ride ATGATT have the same rate of injuries/deaths -- because they ride faster. The rate of deaths/motorcycle accidents is over triple nowadays than from the '60's = '70's. |

In '04 I was looking at the 250 class cruisers, until I noticed the Savage (Suzuki S40.) Only 50 pounds heavier than the 250's, wickedly quick, faster than I need, comfortable, low vibration. Rode it for 8 years, until age/medical problems moved me to a step-through frame and now into a cage.
Whatever. The Big Single is an excellent bike -- if you want a lightweight cruiser. The SuzukiSavage.com forum is very helpful site. You tell us what you want out of a motorcycle; and if the Savage isn't it, we will suggest a better bike.

Because until paramedics are instructed to let non-helmeted riders bleed out in the gutter (something I would be entirely in favor of), they cost an enormous amount of money. Statistically, helmeted riders have the same risk of deaths/accident as unhelmeted riders. Motorcycle insurance companies don't even ask if the rider uses ATGATT or nothing. The money is the same, helmeted or not. As again, why do you hate people that ride differently than you? |

He was following too close.
When the foam fell it bounced right, and he aimed right. If he had dodged left he would have avoided the foam.

Mel's characters are more masochist than macho. He likes people giving him pain.
Harrison's characters prefers others to simply die....

Damn! You really hate the Thumper, don'tcha. There are those who appreciate the qualities of the Big Single. Enough that they can continue produce the S40 year after year. We like our Thumper. We don't care if you don't. We don't bad mouth your motorcycle choice. Why do you have to rag on the S40? Because I rode one...it was a miserable penalty box that did nothing well, and is probably ten years past due for euthanasia. Mechanical brake and a carb in 2016...SERIOUSLY? Fine! You like high tech and high performance. Great. No Problem! Go get whatever you want. But others like the old tech Thumper. Enough of us idiots that Suzuki is able to continue selling the fossil year after year. Carb means no high pressure fuel pump to break. Rear brake? After 35,000 miles it was hardly used. ! I haven't done hard braking for over 20 years. I don't need high tech. I do not want high tech. |
