Something new
I picked up something new for myself that I've wanted for a long time...
A 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50 (smile)
For those of you that care the specs are at the bottom after the pics.
First some stock photos of the motorcycle
Now some pics of mine
Sorry, I'm looking a bit ragged after 8 hours at the dealership (lol)

*Suspension Rear: Link-type, oil damped, 7-way adjustable spring preload
*Brakes Front: Single hydraulic disc
*Brakes Rear: Single drum
*Tires Front: 130/90-16
*Tires Rear: 170/80-15
*Fuel Tank Capacity: 15.5 liter (4.1 gal.)
*Color: Black
Chassis Features:
*Soft-tail-style frame creates a continuous flowing line from the headlight, through the fuel tank, seat and rear fender
*Sharp-edged-styled front fender adds to the clean look of the front end, while the bob-tail rear fender adds to the flowing lines at the rear
*Long, wide 4.1 gallon fuel tank flows smoothly back to the seat -attractive raised fuel filler includes indicator lights for turn signals, high beam and low fuel
*Handlebar-mounted speedometer styled for a clean appearance and positioned for good visibility
*Wide, comfortable seat with low seat height - passenger seat can be removed for a bobbed rear fender appearance
*Low-rise handlebars mounted on pull-back risers provide a comfortable reach for the rider and increased comfort around town or on the highway
*Inverted, 41mm front fork for a performance look and comfortable ride - the only model in the class with an inverted fork
*Link-type rear suspension connects to a truss-style swingarm and a single shock absorber with 7-way spring preload adjustment
*Large LED-type taillight with a clear lens provides a modern custom look
*Powerful multi-reflector headlight housed in an attractive case with stylish headlight rim - headlight switches off during startup to reduce load on battery
*Bright bullet-style turn signals designed for high visibility and attractive appearance
*Standard 4-way emergency flasher and high-beam passing switch

Engine Features:
*Fuel-injected, 50 cubic inch, eight-valve, liquid-cooled, 45 degree V-twin engine tuned for exceptional low rpm power and torque
*GSX-R-derived electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle ValveTM System (SDTV) - maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output - includes Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS)
*32-bit ECM provides precise control of ignition timing and multi-hole-type injectors ensuring quick startup and excellent drivability under all conditions
*Fuel injection system receives input from gear position sensor, water temp. sensor, air temp. sensor and intake port sensors for efficient power delivery and better fuel economy
*Crankshaft designed with 45° offset crank pins to reduce engine vibration without a counterbalancer for a more comfortable ride
*Five-speed transmission features a high fifth gear ratio for relaxed highway cruising
*Low-maintenance shaft final-drive system is clean-running with low torque reaction
*Custom-styled exhaust designed for a deep rumbling sound and tuned low rpm power
*Pulsed-secondary air-injection system introduces air into the exhaust ports to ignite unburned hydrocarbons and reduce emissions - CA. spec. model is equipped with a catalyst for further emission reduction
