Maybe anyplace that sells camping supplies?

The GSX is a heavy bastid too.

Did you notice how much they hate Barbie?

[ShannonG]

I hope he bought you dinner first. You know, before he bent you over that barrel…..

Everyone loves PUPPIES!
OK, it has nothing to do with bikes, but look how cute!

You’ll be very happy with the GS. I looked at the Hyosungs too untl my sister told me she’d beat me to within an inch of my life if I bought one. I guess they’re not very well built, hence the cheapness. Which is a shame, because they’re a nice looking bike.

[ShannonG]

Where are you? They are not an uncommon bike.

[ShannonG]

Or, in my case, slip out of my pocket and into key limbo, where all my keys end up sooner or later.

I love all the Suzuki pics in album 1!
Looks like you had a good time.
I think the hot girl looks a little like Eva Mendes. Minus the booty.

[ShannonG]

Nice to hear you’re making positive progress!

[ShannonG]

I have a GS500f and you should have one too. They make you faster, smarter, and better looking.
The SV 650 is a very nice choice too. If I ever tire of my GS I would have one of those.

Edited to say: I have a friend who has ridden sport bikes for twenty years. He’s had it all, from a GS400 back in the day to a TL 1000 that was so raced out you couldn’t leave from a stop without doing a massive wheelie. He’s been without a bike for a couple of years and now he’s riding everything, trying to find a bike that’s just the right mix of sport and comfort. He ended up buying his neighbor’s SV650.

I plan on keeping my GS500 pretty much forever, and I admit I had a pipe dream about moving up to a racier bike when I bought it. it is just right, and theres eleventy bajillion aftermarket upgrades for it.

[ShannonG]

I love the twisties! Just don’t get stuck behind me….

[ShannonG]

Rev it up! Those little engines like it. Even my GS is happiest cruising at 5-6k.

Did you bike come with a manual? Mine included instructions for winterizing. A friend also told me there is a spray that you can apply inside your head that keeps everything lubricated over the winter months when there’s no oil circulating. I remember you’re also supposed to remove the battery.

OK I checked the manual for my Gs500 and it goes as follows:
Put the bike on the center stand and fill the tank with gas mixed with a stabilizer.
Run the bike until the stabliized gas enters the carb.
Pour one tablespoon of oil into each spark plug hole. Reinstall spark plugs and crank engine a few times.
Drain engine oil thoroughly. Refill with fresh oil all the way to the filler hole.
Remove battery.
Store battery inside.
Externally: Spray all vinyl and rubber parts with rubber preservative.
