Remember your first?

Not as long ago... 2006 I bought a 1980 Suzuki GS 850 off Ebay site unseen in Minnesota**. I took a greyhound from Springfield, MO to get it and rode it home to Charleston, SC. Doesn't seem like much, but it was in April. April in SC means wear a jacket you'll be fine. April in Minnesota means there is still snow around. Being a bit younger and pourer I didn't wanna spring for a hotel; so I spent a night or two hugging the headers trying to keep warm till I hit the mason dixon.

I still remember hitting the border in SC on I 20. No tags so I kept it under 80 the whole time, but when I hit SC I slammed the throttle back. There was this jerk behind me in the left lane just ridding my 6. I musta been doing 130mph or more. When I finally got an opening to get right and let him pass the Sheriff that was keeping up mouthed the words to me "SLOW DOWN". LOL


**I was attending college in Missouri so it didn't seem like that far away... it was.
