Hello to all the regulars and irregulars here in gstwinsville!
Super-noob deluxe here - happy to find such a rollicking good forum for gs500 folk - while i was searching webland for info on mods I happened upon your happy home here and was really quite taken by the nature of the community - sounds like a great place with lots of experience being shared.
I'm essentially a new rider in Los Angeles - I've had my M1 for about 6 years but haven't done much riding at all. When i got my license back in 2001, I borrowed a friends nighthawk 750 for about a month - got busy traveling for work and just didn't really ride much after that - was off the scoot for way too long and finally couldn't take it any longer. Started looking for the right "starter" bike and found myself a perfectly maintained blue 2004 with a V&H exhaust mod and I've giddily put about 400 miles on it in about 12 minutes. Okay, 12 days, but it sure feels like minutes. I"m amazed at how much fun this bike is -
I'm suffering from a serious case of perma-grin . . .
Looking forward to getting to know you guys -
-Lucid

Sheesh. I'd rather be a "Mouseketeer".
wait - really? are you absolutely sure about that? you're leaving yourself wide open for big ear jokes - annette funicello jokes - cheese jokes - disney jokes - and well, just about any type of "keteer" moniker - like Wreece-keteer. this can't end well, but i do see your point . . .

Welcome to the club! I've found that I generally don't even get to post here, everything I've had a question on has been covered thoroughly already, just need to get some mad search skillz together. Oh, and twinsters? Personally I prefer twinners! GS for the Twin! ;)

That, I must say is one of the better photoshops of Pablo.
Don't misunderstand for a second - I have nothing but mad props for Pablo - i mean really, how many guys are willing to bare it all during a pregnancy??
Viva La Pablo!

Unfortunately, Pablo isn't around much anymore. As it turns out, he is one of the top 5 coolest people I've met on this site. You'd love him.
Come back to us, Pablo!

Sorry. "Twinsters"?
Sounds like a group of overage RV'ers or something, or one of those clubs on the sign next to the Rotarians and the Lions when you ride into a small town...
yeah... kind of reminds me of "wing-dingers" (the honda goldwing riders) :nono:

I love the fact that this thread continues to live on two levels:
1. The "holy crap we can't call ourselves Twinsters" thread, and
2. The "where the hell is pablo" thread . . .
As for the first one, the gauntlet is hereby laid down for a new gstwin rider nickname - we've already established that "twinsters" is hereby officially banned due to general pansy-tude . . .
I offer up the next one:
Twinatics :o
(see, the overall problem here is the prefix "twin" - it's like wonderfriends - there's just no way to make it sound cool . . . )
Suggestions being accepted immediately.
Anyone seen my meds?

:dunno_white:
and one other thing - i'm off to Indianapolis today for the 91st running of the 500 mile race - so please forgive the possible board disappearing act that might happen over the weekend (limited laptop access due to your average run of the mill madness at the intersection of Georgetown and 16th . . . )
A happy and safe holiday to all in America - and to those in the UK and elsewhere? It would be silly of me to wish you a happy memorial day - so how about i just leave you with this:
Don't drink and drive - you might spill your drink.
