Since 2004. I own one, and my stepson owns my former commuter. They're both still sitting in our back patio, though.  :kiss3: :thumb:

Oh...and I have various bits and pieces that I keep buying..I don't know what's going to go on which Baby G, but I just can't resist something that looks as though it'll be nice for one or the other!  :laugh:

Heh heh.

That reminds me of a Beverly Hillbillies episode where Jed had just introduced Jethro to some "society" people, and mentioned the fact that Jethro wanted to be a brain surgeon.  They were duly impressed, so Jethro took the opportunity to show them his new Mickey Mouse watch.  :cookoo:

Jed, being the proud uncle, said "Go ahead, Jethro, tell 'em what time it is!"  Jethor's reply went something like this:

"Uh, lessee.  The little hand is on the 2, and the big hand is on the 7, and the teeny hand is on the 9 .... no, wait ... the little hand is on the 2, and the big hand is on the 7, and the teeny hand is on the 10 ... no, wait ...."

You can imagine the look that the "society" people gave each other.  :o

I got my gs500 around December 28 of 2005 so I guess we have been together about 6 months.  I have put almost 3,000 miles on it but I did not drive a lot in the winter.  I think it is time for me to install a new front sprocket.

I've bought mine about 2 weeks ago.  Still waiting for the seller to receive the title so that i can get the bike registered.  in the meantime i've managed to put 20 miles on my bike in less than a week riding it around my small neighborhood (one time around is .4 miles).  I bet my neighbors love me.  Well if they don't like it, they can sux my exhaust!

Yeah, I've been doing the same thing, except only on about half of one block. I might not know how to go faster than 20 mph, but I'm really good at U turns.
