New. 2007 Vulcan 900b

Finally back to riding again after 10 years without a bike. Bought a 2007 Vulcan 900 classic with 18000 miles on it back in July 2014. I have owned several other bikes over the last 30 years and first got my Mc lisc in 1985 at the age of 17. This is the first cruiser I have ever been on and the first time using a heel shifter.... It took some real getting used too,lol. I still use the toe lever exclusively. I rode this winter down to 37 degrees and just killed a back tire and tube with a huge nail. I. need to check the lifters anyway, so it's down for the winter.
