My dad and I got a savage to share over a month ageo and im the one who put all the miles on it so far. Its strange how motercycle riding willl change you around 1500.(its summer vacation now so i got time) and iv never looked back. I just got my Savage today, but have been reading the forum for a while. It's a 2002 with 980 miles, of which only 7 are mine so far. Seems to be all stock parts plus a windshield. Hopefully I won't need this community for mechanical help, but I'm glad it is here. This is my first post, so hi! I bought my first bike last month. I sat on a lot of different makes/models before coming across a used Savage in a Kawasaki dealership. ![]() Once I sat on it, I knew it was the bike for me. I bought an '06 with 150 miles on it and I love it. I'm very happy as his passenger, in fact we drove to Montana and back this past June on his, travelling 2400 miles. But I just got this inkling to try it myself. I've been out a half dozen times or so on the road, following Brian on his. It's so much fun! I'm looking forward to getting to know the people on this site, it seems like a great place to share ideas/problems/stories.įor those of you too young to have watched the original series, Paladin was the lead character of Have Gun - Will Travel ().

But a cotton market collapse in 1951 nearly ruined the company.ĭesperately seeking new markets, Suzuki looked again at motorized vehicles. It was war time production until VJ Day, when it was back to making looms. Looking to expand, Suzuki ventured into small car production in 1937, but World War II ended all that. These were highly complex machines (Suzuki took out some120 patents) that needed to be precisely made, which required a high degree of engineering expertise. Suzuki Loom Works became an industry giant and in 1929, Suzuki invented a new type of weaving machine, which was manufactured & exported over the next 30 years.
