I joined this forum with a tiny new Kawasaki Eliminator 125. I bought it so I could stop spending so much money to fill the gas tank on my Mustang. However, my wife outgrew it already, so I found a way to justify buying a new bike. I picked up a brand new '07 Vulcan 500 LTD. I just got it today, and I feel relieved. I took my Eliminator on a 900 mile road trip last week, and my back hurts so bad that I decided to never ride it again. At least now I have a bike that will get out of it's own way!

welcome to KF. congrats on the new ride. post sum pics please.

 

hahaha, right on with the choice. Does not take long to out grow an eliminator

 

I'll post some new pics of the Vulcan as soon asI figure out how to. In the mean time, a new development in the story leaves a scar on the face of my motorcycle collection... my wife layed the Eliminator down today. It wasn't too bad, but she broke her finger. All she did to the bike was scraped the kawasaki emblem on the left side of the tank, and bent the clutch handle. Luckily, she wasn't riding the Vulcan!

Glad that she is ok. The ride also.

 

Here she is! I'll get back from Iraq in October of next year, and when I do, I'm buying a ZX6R... Can't wait for that!

nice ride!! sorry to hear about the little women scrubing atleast she's ok. be safe over there.[sm=usa.gif]

 

Nice ride there ........... Thanks for your service to our country .Try and keep yourself safe . Give us a heads up when you get the 6R .

 

Most certainly will. I'll actually be more likely to buythe ZX6Rwhen I come home for my 2 week R&R, that way I'll have it and the Vulcan paid off by the time I get home. I hate having payments, and would like to not have any when I get back. I'm hoping that I'll be able to have some kind of internet access over there so I can keep in touch with the forum while I'm gone.

I understand about the payment thingy ....it's a hassle . Like I said keep yourself safe and give us a heads up when you get the 6R
