new ride

written by admin on October 22nd, 2005 @ 02:45 PM

I finally got a bike! I picked up a 1999 Suzuki Intruder VS1400 with only 4200 miles at a very reasonable price.

The bike came with windshield, saddle bags, engine crash bar and some Vance & Hines pipes (very loud). It’s a blast to ride. I’ve put about 350 miles on it since I picked it up on Tuesday (4 days ago).

I got it a tuneup yesterday, changed all the fluids, etc. and it’s running pretty well. The carb needs to be re-jetted b/c it was never done by the guy I bought it from when he put the bigger pipes on. And the mechanic set the idle too high. We had to increase the idle because the engine was cutting off sometimes when slowing.

Well, I know what my primary mode of transportation will be for some time to come. Thankfully Charleston has mild winters.

    Looks amazing. Way better than the ones I found on a Google image search. I love the two-tone paint on the tank and those pipes are wicked. Can't wait to see it up close. --riney
