Ontario roll call!

[squished18]

Just bought a 2004 GS500F. Newbie rider. I apologize if I don't wave back while riding, just in case I veer off the road.

Welcome to the board.

You don't have to take your hand off the bar - you can just lift your first two fingers a bit.  We understand that as a wave too.

hey Jen...so how's your GS coming along?...is it running yet??

[Jenerator]

We're getting the parts together now...tires came in today and the AB stuff came yesterday (to take care of the inner gastank rust.  Lots more still on order, so it's gonna be a few weeks before she's road-ready, but she does run now...

Not very well though...likely needs a carb job and the rust in the tank was certainly not good for her.  :x

BTW, this was NOT the one that was for sale on the gta board... :lol:

If I get back on this season it will probably be on the gs. My Kat is finished.

How you doing, Geoff?  Did the surgery go ok?

[Frost]

what tires did you get Jen?...and can your shop give me a good price on them?...pm me on gta if you can...

hope you'll be riding soon...doesn't it bug you to see nice weather pass by? :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I got the OEM Bridgestone tires...I'll ask Dave for the deets for ya.  He says they soft and gummy like they're fresh off the line.  Wicked.  Now I just have to get the bike on the road!  :lol:

Ahh I'm still enjoying the nice weather...took my bicycle out a couple times already.  Just not the same, though.

Hi Everyone,

I just registered at this site.  Very cool place, everyone seems real helpful and friendly.  Anyways, i'm a newbie who just picked up a 99 Gs500 a couple weeks ago.

I'm located in Mississauga (eglinton & hwy10) . . . I've been trying to ride as much as I can.  If anyone wants to group with a newbie, give me a shout.

Welcome to the board ... is this your first bike?  I was looking at the F model at Inglis cycle yesterday.  They look awesome!  I'm sure you'll like it.  I've had mine almost 4 years and I still like it.

I've found the best tire prices at Zdeno cycle in Kitchener.  $133 for a ME330 metzler vs 189 at my local shop.  Local shop said they could give me 10% off.  I also compared at other places and they are the same.  ronayers.com is only $100 but the shipping and brokerage would be like $40.

Dunno, I am just going to buy it there and get a local shop to put it on.  Last time it cost me about $20 ea. with the wheels already off the bike.

I feel compelled to post on this thread even though I am in Marietta, GA. I moved down year about a year ago. I used to live in Mississauga too, on Dundas near Mavis. I only started riding once I got down here. Hopefully I'll get to ride with y'all if I am in Mississauga again

North York here!  Bought the bike last season

[Skim]

seems like we have a few here from GTA.  If you guys ever decide on a group meet, give me a shout.

Does anyone know any good roads to ride near the GTA?  All i know of are the forks
