My across the street neighbor had to sell his motorcycle a couple of years ago.. He just got himself mounted again, on one of those new Vulcan 900's .. We gave it a good airing out on the ride to Hico, yesterday.. Shane is a big dude, weighing about 250 +.. Considering the little cruiser is bone stock, it did a good job.. Shane babied it for about an hour, running speed .. After that, he rode that thing like he'd just stole it.. That little cruiser stood in there and performed like it was meant to.. We ran some of those twisties around ninety or so and it seemed to handle without any problems.. Naturally, we had to discuss it over all that pie and coffee.. Shane was pleased with his new bike .. By the time we'd made it to La Casa.. the speedo had something like 1600 miles on it.. Good trial run to check out the new motorcycle.. Regards Bill Walker Irving
