new gs owner

[unclesalty]

Well we pulled the trigger on an 06 blue gs last weekend. It was just delivered and though Im recovering from carpal tunnel surgery I Had to take it for a spin. It looked like I had gas so off I went and ran dry at 31 miles . I just switched to reserve and started looking for a gas station.
I bought the bike for my wife, We currently ride  drz400's with full knobbies. The gs was super smooth compared to the drz and sooo close to the ground. I was going to put supermoto tires on my bike so I can road ride with her but maybe I'll see if I can find a nice nekked gs for myself.
Any ways I found this forum and bought the bike because of all the info here. Thanks

And, congradulations!  (after I looked to see that you were looking at one before, as indicated by your first post of two)

Welcome, that's a great feeling taking out a new bike for the first run. Ride safe.

Didn't Alpha just trade the GS for a DRZ400?

He really didn't have a choice to trade, but here's the thread: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=31891.0

Congrats and welcome aboard!   

Good luck with he wrist, I induced a little CTS in my left when first got the GS.  A little time with one of those spring-exercise things helped a lot. 

I ride both  GS and a DR650, and am always thrilled to make the switch from noisy-yellow-tractor-beast to smooth-tight-black-gem of a bike and back.  OK, so I'm not a d**m poet.  I'm sure that you understand.
