I had a bike (Suzuki Intruder 1400) about 15 years ago. Kept it about a year. Always wanted one, needed to get it out of my system I guess. Enjoyed riding it and had some good times riding down to the beach...I'm a little less than an hour ride from Myrtle Beach. Quickly realized w/ all the crazy drivers on cell phones that I'd much rather have 2 more tires and a lot more metal around me on the highway.
