Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom - 2011

(Alaska)

For my first bike, I wanted it to be new and shiney - mainly, I wanted a bike that I was able to put all the miles on it. So thanks to "credit", I went to the dealership and saw this baby. They had just put her together and on the show room floor the week prior. I'm not a red person but the deep color of this bike really appealed to me. I fell in love. I took an evening to think about it. I was scared to just dive in since I had yet to get my license. I did a little bit of riding 15 yrs ago on a Susuki 750 and the memory of that stayed with me all these years. So here I am, with my very own bike (have yet to name her). I'm 41 and finally brave enough to take on the open road. It's been almost 2 mths and I have put 1,500 miles on her. It is now fall in Alaska so I might have another month and half to ride before I have to put her away for the Winter. Very sad about that. But, until then, I'm going to have some fun!!!
