Title: NEW HERE...Calling out all the ATL People
Post by: knght311 on July 13, 2006, 09:29:49 AM
Hey Everyone,

I have already met a couple of the guys/girls from Atlanta through the for sale forum, but I would love to meet as many GS riders as I can in atlanta. To let you know a little bit about me, I just bought my first bike, a 2001 Suzuki GS500E,  but have been around and riding them most of my life. My dad is heavily into motorcycles and has had a variety of bikes over there years, to name a few he has had Nighthawk 750, Triumph Trident, Norton Commando, Triumph Bonneville, BMW R69S, Harley Custom Softail...so I have had a taste of all of these.

I am 24 working as a CPA right now, but soon I am headed back to GSU to get a degree in Audio Technology.

Wish me luck.

Nice to Meet you.

Welcome to the board.  There are several gs' members in Atl.  And you might want to check out www.georgiasportbike.com  If thats not right do a google and georgia sport bike forums.

NiceGuys - did you get a bike yet?  (I haven't been around here in a bit).

I'm in Atlanta (Roswell, just up 400).  I rode a GS500 until the end of March when I bought an R6.  I loved my GS, but its almost like the R6 was tailor made for riding on GA-400 (aka the Alpharetta Autobahn).

Anyways, the GS500  (http://riftwave.net/misc/gs500.jpg) was sold to a friend who just finished MSF and is learning how to ride.  (He still hasn't given me my @#$@# old helmet back! :-) )

Atlanta is chock full of riders.  Some are nice folks, and some are people that give bikers a bad rep.  Watch out in traffic here...   in my single year of riding I met one guy who was later killed on his bike ('05 R6) by a car, and have only 1 degree of seperation from about a half-dozen others who have been in accidents.

Yeah TB, I picked up my '02 about a month and a half ago. Unfortunately, I've only managed to put about 1300 miles on her in that time... Making the total about 5300 :laugh:


When I get back, we'll have to ride sometime!
