How is a Kawasaki 900 classic on Twisties... 

Thanks! Love to just cruise and have fun. I win the "race" by making it home safely :)

Very true no need to speed around

I take time to enjoy the scenery and the smells..yes the smells are as varied as the landscape..❤😊

Thanks for the kind words!

It is weird when target fixation happens... its like a trance and when you realize it your have to quickly snap out of it.

Glad you enjoyed the video! If you are planning on riding take it slow. maybe take a few more classes where motorcycles are offered and you can try different kinds. I would recommend a used motorcycle that you find could be manageable for you and then you will see how much or often you would ride. With that experience you could then pick a newer or bigger motorcycle if you feel you need it to fit your riding needs. Take it slow, stay safe and be well my friend.

Hope you enjoy it!

These bikes are very good for the money

Really happy you enjoyed it!

Oh! Great tip... I will be trying that ;)

It was a fun ride and enjoyed the twists on the 900. Stay safe out there!

I have never taken the road to Del Valle lake. I now will go check it out and share here. Thanks!

Very nice! Stay Safe!

I agree, I now keep a couple of bottles of water and very handy to stop in any safe place foor a break and some water. Stay safe out there!

Thank you! This was a great bike for re-entering riding.

Thank you for the tip! You are absolutely right, and I use that approach to plan my line on curves, along with trail braking. That said, I am human and make mistakes, so I greatly appreciate your advice. Please keep them coming! Thanks for watching, take care, and stay safe!

I loved the Vulcan 900 and wish I held on to it. I bought it with 4k and sold it with just under 8k. Just after I paid for a full service, added large bags along with upgraded saddlemen seat. Congrats on getting the new one in the near future and you already know how great the Vulcan 900 is. Stay Safe!

@@CageFreeMoto Thanks, Wow! You sound kinda like me with my used bike, I needed a car really bad , and I didn't have enough money so I ended up trading my bike and with some money down too. The problem was that I thought that I would keep the bike for some more years, but life can throw you some sour lemons. I just had installed a new starter, 2 new tire tubes and tires, an oil change, etc. The guy at the dealership (mechanic) saw my bike and said I want that bike , sake it to me! That really hurt me, to get rid of it. That's why this time I'm buying a new one and keeping it and if I ever have to sell it, I will do it privately and msje most of my money back. These bikes are guaranteed to sale.

Totally agree! The backroads is where I really enjoyed the Vulcan 900.

Awesome! Congratulations! 🎉 take it slow and be safe out there!

@@CageFreeMoto Thanks alot 😎

Thanks! Will be incorporating more music in future videos.

Congrats! I actually practiced in my neighborhood for a few days before I ventured out. Then local streets, twists and freeways were last for me. Sometime I would get on the freeway and off soon the first or second off ramp just for practice. I rode alone (and still do pretty much) so no one to impress and focused on me and the skills needed. Stay safe out there!

Ride on country roads and deal only with stop signs. Once you get comfortable with all that take on a little traffic. Lights and traffic are not your friends. Now go young skywalker and stay alive.

@@ericwilliams626 Sounds like good advice. Tomorrow I wiil venture out on the two lane outside of the neighborhoood I am a young at heart 65 yr old 😁

My only complaint with the motorcycle is the amount of noise it makes and the lack of power. Having now 6 gears is a real bummer.

Yep, I was always trying to shift up to find that I already did (:

The Vulcan 900 is working as designed and once I accepted that it was all good. Great motorcycle!

Thanks! Doing my best :). Stay safe out there.

Thanks for the advice, that is what I do now... check out my latest videos ;) Thanks! And Ride safe!

Congrats! You will not be disappointed!

I use iMovie to edit videos. It comes free with a Mac :) Thanks for the kind words and stay safe also!

@@CageFreeMoto Thanks so much, the best to you!

Hmmm... think I was in 4th

Thanks for the compliment! It is just a gaming mic plugged into the GoPro. I have since changed the mic and the one used in this video is good. The reason I changed is this mic only recorded to one speaker and when I had to edit videos I Always had to fix the audio so it could be heard from two speakers.

Nothing like riding on open roads, especially on the Vulcan 900. Don't know where you live but hope you will or have found some good roads.

I am close to 300 :( and the Vulcan never lacked power for me. I am 5'10 32 inseam and I was comfortable. I never had a passenger on the Vulcan but maybe my weight may help on the power of the Vulcan. It's a shame that you are not allowed to test ride. Many you can rent one, twisted roads is an app that people rent out their motorcycles.

Yep, I have thought of moving out of California, but I bought my home when the market was down and cannot beat the weather for riding. Who knows what the future holds for me regarding leaving or staying. but when I look else where I check for good riding roads and of course the weather ;) Stay safe!

Counter steering

Yep, had that habit of always validating my turn signals were off, LOL. I now have a Road King where the signals are automatically turned off. I picked up my jacket at a store called Cycle gear, they also have an online store.

@@CageFreeMoto wow nice bike. bad ass cruiser. ill check that out online. asian jackets are quite small for my size

True! I had one for hikes and forget about if you don't clean it right away... my wife will just toss it out to avoid anyone getting sick. On my roadtrip I used a Hydro Flask that kept the ice for at least 1.5 days... that works the best for me now.

LOL - Don't think so, but, you never know, right :)

Congrats on the 1500 Classic! I am booked every weekend on Aug. Go to the About page and there you will find my email. We can coordinate a ride for Sept if that works for you.

@@CageFreeMoto nice !

The start around 6:20 Don't think the video captures the curves and hills well, however, as a new /re- entry rider they were challenging.

the road is Tesla going towards Tracy. Much better coming from the other direction.

I am going to have to try it from the other direction

GoPro HERO7 Black

I agree

To many people out there just want a Harley why because of the name but when they go wrong and they will you will be paying a lot to get it fixed

Thank you and the same to you my friend ;)
