Well the day finally came - picked up my first bike in 15 years - suzuki GS500E, 1998 model (Orange & Black). :icon_lol:
bit of a vervous start - few times around the car park to get a feell for it then ready for the 20 mile ride home! What can I say - wow! What had I been missing! Apart from the fact that the weather was sleeting and about 4 degrees C (40F), a good first ride. No problems with bike - more problems with the rider getting used to leaning into corners after driving a car only for the past 15 Years!
Roll on summer........ :thumb:
There you go. Off to a good start... Definatly anticipating summer here on the east coast CAN... where a 4 month winter season can feel like 15 years... Nonetheless, welcome to this great board and congratulations on getting back into the great hobby of riding.
Cheers,
JG
yeah winter sucks, man my wrist is going to hate me in the spring :laugh: :laugh:
Well the GS haven't changed much in last 15 years :)
Awesome, congrats!
Welcome!
Welcome back to riding! I know what you mean about learning how to lean into corners again. A few months ago I took my first ride in about 12 years. Talk about rusty! It soon get better, so have fun!
