Hiya Folks
Hello, obviously new guy here. Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself.
I'm Eric. I recently acquired a 2004 Vulcan 1600 Classic. It was my dad's bike. He got it from a dealership in the NW-Burbs of Chicago back in 2005. He loved to ride. He had BMWs in the 80s, an old sportster in the late 90s. He even had a 19?? VW Trike. He was also a mounted police officer in New Orleans for many years. My dad loved to ride. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us. So here I am, a somewhat green rider, with a 750+lb bike. I learned to ride 20 years ago on a 750 Shadow, so I'm not totally in the dark. So, here I am. Nice to meet ya'll. Pics related- My dad and his favorite hobbies. Login or Register to Remove Ads

Welcome, nice bike.....I had an 05' 1500 Classic for many years. It just got too heavy so I'm now on an 883 Sportster.
