RE: JUST GOT PERMIT
Welcome to Kf, and congrats on getting your license. I dont really know about cruisers though so I'm not gonna be much help, but I'm sure the guys hangin out in that section can. Sure you don't want a sportbike?

RE: JUST GOT PERMIT
welcome and congrat with all that. I've ridden an Vulcan 750 before and I have to say it's a real smooth and comfy ride. The only thing that's a little tough to get used to is that your feet are forward on the pegs toward the front. But it's a nice ride.

RE: JUST GOT PERMIT
Welcome to the forums, I can still remember the first time I got my permit, it was a warm summer day in July of 1981, I was a Jr in high school. got my licence a month later on a Honda CB 450, which at the time meant that I could not ride anything over a 500cc. But years later I went in to renew my license and they had done away with the different"cc" classes, so now you can take it on a 150cc moped and go out and ride a 1700 CC bike. Not sure how safe that is, that's why I'll say take the MSF class if you get a chance. Well anyway then fast forward to 1999 I decided not to keep the endorsement since I had sold the Yamaha 750 and dropped it off my license, fast forward again to December of 2005 I had to start all over with the permit and then the license. What a hassle.NOTICE: To all riders, don't be a knucklehead like me and let your license go even if yousell your bike and don't think you're going to need it again. As soon as I saw the KLX on line I knew it was over. I called the dealer, and ordered the first one that wouldn't show up for another month and a half. I picked it up November 23 of 05 and just hit the 6000 mile mark. I can't remember my anniversary half the time, but I will never forget the date I picked up the bike.
