Hello Everyone!!
I'm a 38 year old new rider and GS owner. Waiting to take the training course. I purchased a '92 GS500E over the weekend. It's a little rough around the edges but runs pretty solid. I know pretty much nothing about motorcycles but am willing to learn and will take advice from anyone. I've been reading this forum and the wiki for about the last month. That's a start, right??
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana and I'm a computer programmer by profession. I'm married to an amazing woman, Julie. We have 3 young children at home.
Feel free to ask questions or to hand over any advice...all will be taken .
Thanks for reading,
DLW

Welcome! soon you will become an adict to your gs500 !
Welcome !
Usually someone will bug a new member for .jpg's of their 'new' ride. No one has stepped up, ahem.
Keep the tires inflated, chain lubed and oil in it and the rest is easy cheese.
Welcome again to the cheap fun gs's provide.
What language do you prefer ?
welcome, enjoy your gs. Just a suggestion- DON'T START MODIFYING YOUR GS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO, IT'S HARD TO STOP. :thumb:

Welcome!
Only take turns at the posted speed or less, until you know you can take the turn faster (in 5mph increments).
Check your engine oil level once a week after a ride.
Oh yeah, and look where you want to go.
Why are you looking over here??... My ride is over <----- there. Thats the best I got right now. Thanks everyone for the welcome. Someone asked what language I perfer....ummm....English?... :dunno_white:

Hey..was that there the whole time....nawww...you're messin' with me! :flipoff: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Fortunately, GS is an international language. :kiss3: :icon_mrgreen:
not proper english i hope....i have a hard time translating when talking to those limey bastards....Nothing beats the bastardized version of english we use.(otherwise known as american.)

Pandy, yes I'm afraid it has been there since I registered. Wanna borrow my glasses?? :cookoo:
And yes I'm full blooded American and proud of it!!.....Perhaps they meant what programming language do I prefer as I mentioined I'm a Computer Programmer. I'm an Old Skool COBOL Mainframe programmer.

Ahem...I saw it..really.....we meant we want a BIGGER picture! Duh! (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/phaedrusGS/smilies/moony.gif) Yeah..that's it.... :icon_mrgreen:
The only thing I can say is: ignore any advice they give you.
It's all bunk.
