Well, we went to Nebraska to get my fiance's wedding dress with my folks and we ended up stopping at a few dealerships. Long story short my dad and I are making the 100 mile trip home, me on a red m50 and him on a black c50. I'm loving the bike, and I'm learning quite a bit as well. I decided against the windshield and went with a full face helmet. I am getting the backrest and the luggage rack for it. I'm trying to find a nice cover for the bike and thought I'd see what you'd recommend. I didn't realize how expensive they are.

This is my first bike and I've been pouring over the forums learning all I can from you guys.

Thanks again.

Welcome!

The m50 is a nice bike, and it was a good idea to get a helmet.

My advice is to take the MSF course ASAP (if you haven't taken it before or it's been a while), get yourself a full set of gear (jacket, gloves, boots, pants and a kidney belt), and practice, practice, practice.

You rich guys . . . tooling around the country . . . buying your toys on a whim. Sheesh! :roll:

Congrats on the purchase. You'll love it.

Definitely not a rich guy here, but I am definitely loving it. My fiance is starting to show an interest in driving now too and we are looking at getting her a defiant or a rebel to learn on. A college a couple hours away offers MSF courses and even provides the bikes! Also, any pointers on a cover for the M50? I have a hard time paying $100.00+ for a glorified tent (stakes are obviously NOT extra)

Wow, congratulations! So, does that mean she got a nice dress!!

Yes, I agree with the above posts...good job on the helmet, and get to an MSF class if you haven't already!

Welcome!

She seems to be happy with it, but it would be bad form for me to see it before the wedding. Supposedly it is a good mix of fun and classical. We are going to be married in Nassau as part of a cruise wedding. We have around 24 people going on the cruise with us. I'm sure we'll have stories when we get back

Will the bike be stored outside, or inside (a garage)? If outside, you don't have to spend $100+ for a good cover. Just shop around. try www.motorcycle-superstore.com or www.denniskirk.com. Even JC Whitney now has their own motorcycle section of parts.

It will be stored outside in seasonal weather and under an open carport. In the winter it will be stored in a garage. I want to take care of the bike, but not be taken by it
