“dress up like pirates on the weekend?”
You just make milk come out my nose!

1986 seems pretty vintage for a motorcycle. Have you looked in parts availabililty?
Buying on ebay, I would be concerned about shipping costs, and not being able to see the bike in person before you buy.

I dropped it today. No damage. Hopefully that will serve as my reminder to pay attention!

My province is three times the size of your massive state. But probably has 10% of the population.

Here I am coming home from my first ride!

Whatever you pick a lowering link can be put in the rear suspension to bring the seat down.

Sticker price on my 2008 bike was $6799. I got it for $5800. All I asked was ‘what’s your best price?’
I had a connection through my sister but it seems like the sticker price is not the last price, if that makes any sense.

Wow – someone who at 22 knows what they want to do with their life. Impressive!

I second the bike reviews. And welcome!

I spent $600 to outfit myself in gear, and that was with me already owning boots and gettng a deep dish discount from the store I bought the bike from. That being said, I am as safe as one can possibly be riding a bike by having the proper gear.
And I look freaking fantastic!

Armored nylon is way cheaper than leather clothing, although I can’t speak to abrasion resistance comparisons.

I did it! Woo Hoo! That’s my husband’s new bike. It is very sexy, yes?

I suck at this, but I did manage to get the red X up….

Hi!

[ShannonG]

I’m only 5’5″, but I am very comfortable with both the seat height and the weight of the gs500f. I don’t think the carberation will be an issue for me since I will be a fair weather rider.

I have already learned that if it won’t go into 1st gear, you gotta move it forward a bit!
