hi everyone, I am brand new to the biking sene and while searching for information to help me get started I came a cross this forum. I have decided that I would like to get a GS500 for my fist bike, I understand the basics of motorbikes but not much beyond that. I am currently sutdying to get my licence and so I have come here in the hopes that you guru's of biking knowledge could impart some of said knowledge onto me :bowdown:
I am currently 23 years old, weigh 285 pounds (working on loosing weight) and stand aprox 5' 10" tall.
I live in the Kamloops area of B.C
any information you can give me or a recomended NOOB reading and study list to learn about bikes (the GS500 in paticular) would be great. thanks for your time.
Welcome... :cheers:

HAve fun. :thumb:
thanks for the link, I am reading over it now but I dont understand what course your talking about. anyways I will keep reading and learning all I can.
been doing a bit of reading and I now have a question, should I be looking at getting a dirt bike or borrowing someones bike to try out before I decide to get my liceince (try out off the road of course) I am quite sure its what I want but at the same time I dont want to be dangerous to other people and other riders. any sudgestions? I dont know anyone who has a bike so I would have to either rent a dirt bike or figure somthing else out.
Sorry you aren't getting many replies, this is in a meeting forum instead of the main one. Try remaking this thread in the General Discussion Forum. Also, check out gstwins.com and gstwins.vriders.com
Talon Take a MSF riders course its worth its weight in gold plus it can offer a discount on insureance.
