first day trip on the Suzook

My betrothed and I bought a 2007 Suzuki C50 motorcycle and took it on our first day trip, from Columbus to Millersburg Ohio. On the way up we took 62 to 541 to Coshocton. 541 is an amazing road :) Beautiful hill country. We were apparently chasing a storm, because the road was freshly wet most of the way, but the sun was shining and steam was rising off of the road.

We soon decided that what we had read was right, that the stock seats and no passenger back rest on the C50 is not really practical for touring. We took a lot of breaks through the day.

We stopped in Coshocton for lunch at a great Italian place on Main Street in the old downtown. The sausage and peppers are highly recommended.

I then took 83 up to 62 and into Millersburg for a short break, that's where the picture of the bike was taken. The pink helmet with polka dots belongs to my wife, mine is a flat black half-helmet with silver flames :)

The passenger rest is supposed to arrive today and I ordered seats from Ultimate (www.ultimate.ca), which are supposed to be the best touring seats for Suzuki Boulevards and Volusias. So far the modern technology, power, and ride are really amazing :)
