Dear BadHabits,

One of the great things about this forum, and about motorcycling in general, is that most people come to the field with a story. Your story, though sad, is compelling as hell and I'm glad you found us. I have a sense you'll be a generous and thoughtful member. I also like your spirit, and the fact that you have a wife who likes and wants to ride. (That Legacy, made by CFMoto, looks interesting.)

Don't let anyone mess with your head about kilobikes and the like. Sounds as if you know exactly what you want, so go for it -- and keep us all posted with pix and stories and ride reports. And ride safely!

cheers!
