Hello from North Georgia

Hi folks, I'm John from the North Georgia area of the United States. I traded in my GZ250 last May for a brand new 2009 Vulcan 500 and I've put a little over 10,000 miles on her since then.

Highway Bars for Vulcan 500

For whatever reason, the Vulcan 500 has very limited availability on decent highway bars.

Re: I guess I'm 2nd then :)

Hey Brian, glad you set up this site. I hope it turns out as well as the GZ250bike website. I've also found that site to be my favorite for getting useful information and I just generally like the people who are on it. I'm a member of another Vulcan website, but I'm not renewing my membership there ...
