Good day everyone... I found this site being referenced on the VulcanForums site that I'm a member of so I thought I'd sign up and check it out. I've never owned a Vulcan but my brother-in-law did so I found a lot of useful information over there.
I had a beautiful blue Suzuki M90 up to about a month ago when I fell victim to the left turning vehicle and ended up on the pavement. To make a long story short I am still at home recovering from a broken pelvis and a ruptured bladder. Things are going well though and I'm recovering nicely! My brother-in-law always liked the Vaqueros and the more I look at them and the Voyagers the more I like them. Its going to be a year or two until I can even think of getting on another bike but I'm really liking what I see with these two models. My wife and I love riding together and both models would be a much more comfortable choice than the M90 was. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from this site and others about these two bikes. Thanks for the membership! Ride safe everyone! Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Welcome from Kentucky!
Very sorry to hear about your accident. I’m glad to hear you are recovering well. Those Suzuki 90s look like nice bikes. I don’t think you will be disappointed with a big Kawasaki. They make a very nice reliable bike that is a lot of fun to ride. In fact, I wish I was riding my nomad right now.

Welcome aboard from down in Georgia, sorry you lost such a sweet ride. Hope you keep healing well, and both those bikes are nice choices.

Welcome aboard from Okotoks! Where in Alberta are you located?
Good luck and a speedy recovery from your injuries. Hopefully you're back up on 2 wheels sooner than you think!

I lived in Wetaskiwin from about 1971 - 1994 and worked in Camrose for about a year at Roseland Lincoln Mercury. Seems like a lifetime ago!

Welcome to the forum !!
 You guys from AB are quite lucky to have such beautiful scenery to ride through . Funny how I always end up there when planning a trip . Last year I spent some time in Drumheller and this past june I did a 10 day tour of Jasper . I'm sure I missed something along the way ! We did take a day and spent some time in Wetaskiwin . Great Museum , I could have spent the whole day there but we had to carry on to Hinton before nightfall . Next year we're heading to Nelson BC which I've never been before . Not sure what route we're taking but I'm sure it'll be just as beautiful . This is an awesome forum with a wealth of information and a lot of helpful riders . Enjoy and ride safe !!

Welcome from The Black Hills of South Dakota. You have prayers for quick and complete healing and a quick return to the road. We also loved Riding in Alberta. Stayed in Canmore and it was beautiful. Hope it has recovered from the flood a few years ago.
Let us know if you two ever come to Sturgis/Black Hills!
