Title: great place to start
Post by: fuelish on June 18, 2006, 08:45:40 AM
hey all ,, new to this website as i just purchased an 06' GS500F. the tard farm seems to be the place for what im gonna say, i love my new suzie with just over 500 miles on it the motor is really freeing up and spinning nicely on the x-way. i was forced to buy my suzie (with no regrets) as im leaving in just days on a trip far out west,now, in 2003 i purchased a new triumph. im not gonna knock triumph motorcycles but i got a lemon, it has never run correctly, i have only wrenched on it since purchase as dealerships are quite spread apart and not reachable to a working man. i believe i have located the issue with the triumph and my suzie only cost $1500 more to purchase new than fix the triumph.  i think i made the right decision. BTW i have made several mods to the suzie with several more coming after my trip, and added great extras to the bike. she's ready for long distance running im so stoked. will be posting pics and such later of what im doing to my suzie.

welcome! You can go into your preferences (I don't remember exactly where, but play around with it, you'll find it) and change the color scheme. I have mine set to the blue and white, and it's much easier to see than the default grey on black.

TIP: Look & Layout in your profile has lots of customizable settings.

Welcome.  Also, your thread isn't really tard worthy.  Only if it comes down to a shouting match between you and ther Triumph lovers. :icon_mrgreen:

Welcome!

And, yes, what Triumph do you have?  Year, model and color, please.
