I'm james and i live in the Bay Area.

I've had many bikes in the past.  76 CB550, 99 SV650, 01 GSXR600 and my last bike was a honda F4

Had to sell the F4 because my wife is sick and I needed extra cash to pay bills.  I thought my  riding days were over. Than I found my new ride. Its a 2001 GS500. Got it very cheap. It needs alot of cosmetic work but,  runs well and has low miles. Never thought I would buy a GS but its actaully kinda of growing on me.

Oh, hey, welcome!

Did I pass you and your girl once on Pescadero or 84 near Stage, about a month ago?  It was a Yellow GS that I passed (or, was it a white '89...)?
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
