Title: I'll miss the GS
Post by: 97gs500e on April 21, 2006, 07:30:32 PM
After owning my first motorcycle for 11 months and putting nearly 5,000 miles on it,
I listed it for sale in the newspaper today.  I just can't afford a motorcycle right now. 
Perhaps in a few years I'll get an SV650 or something.  I'll miss the GS.

eh, sometimes life gets in the way. focus on what you have to and at some point in the future you'll get back to it, I'm sure. Enjoy your life regardless...

That's a great looking bike.  I'm sorry you have to part with it.

do a lot of you out there ride without mirrors?

i know it looks 100x better without them, isn't it dangerous though, and illegal in michigan at least.

Just wondering

very dangerous. In fact, I used to run only one and that was dangerous enough. I really found I needed both mirrors to know what was happening behind me on both sides. Its probably illegal in most if not all states to not have at least one mirror. In CA, you need one mirror minimum and it has to be the left one.
