Hey all,

I just paid 200 bucks for a 92 GS500E that ran on starter fluid. Now ive got it running on gasoline again but its got a wild idle and bogs when throttling up.

Anyway, the main point is to say Hey, and to find out if anyone in the Inland Empire wants to come help me get her runnin right  :icon_mrgreen:
Yeah, im workin on it  ;)

Congrats on the new bike! What a steal, I'd come over, but I'm about 2,424 miles away.

Welcome to the site.  :cheers:

Sweet bike!

You Cali guys (and NV, NM, and AZ) are so lucky. I wish that my 91 had as rust-free of a frame as that one looks like it has. Guess the New England salt just isn't right for motorcycles.

Congrats on the new bike! What a steal, I'd come over, but I'm about 4,000 miles away.

Welcome to the site.  :cheers:

I don't mean to argue with you but according to my knowledge and google maps OHIO is about 2500 miles away from California  ;) not 4000. from my place (NY) to california it's 3000 miles. Distance across US (from north east to south west) is still ONLY 3500 miles.
once again: I don't want to argue, I just like to be precise  :thumb:

:cheers:
