Hello everyone! I just wanted to say hello. I just bought my first motorcycle two weeks ago on May 23rd a week after taking an MSF course. I bought an '09 Black Cherry V-Star 950 Tourer. I ended up getting a good deal on it. I bought it new for 9919.00 OTD with a three year service contract. I'm in the process of breaking it in. I dropped it off at the dealer on the 3rd for the 600 mile check up. This 1/3 throttle thing is killing me
. Let's just say I've spent alot of time on two lane back country roads putting along at 45-50 mph. I just got back from a 169 mile round trip to the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma for a Meers Burger with a coworker and his wife who both ride. Again we took it easy on the back county roads to get there except for having to get on the interstate a couple of time for a short distance to get to those roads. We averaged 50-65 mph depending on the headwind. I have a total of 793 miles total on the bike in just over two weeks after buying it. I hope to get to the 1k mark by the end of this week. Oh, in case anybody was wondering. I do plan on modifying it with parts inbound
