Back in the saddle again

    Greetings,
    I am finally back on a bike after many years. Took the local BRT course a month ago and just picked up a used (2008) Vulcan 500 LTD last night. Took about an hour to ride home from the dealership on country roads practically the whole way. The Vulcan performed flawlessly; good power banding with the 6 speed tranny (perfect for this type of bike), handling and braking were great. I am 6′ tall, 240 lbs and was able to easily accelerate to 65-70 with more throttle on tap if needed. And, compared to the Honda VLX that I tested, the Vulcan is much more comfortable. I could have easily ridden for another hour or two. So far, the little Vulcan has totally met my expectations.

    Anyway, happy to be here. Thanks for the great site.

    Ride safe,
    Steve
