Title: First bike a gs500e :)
Post by: nazgulnarsil on July 29, 2007, 07:47:53 PM
it does need new tires but everything else is great.  has 11k miles and is 100% stock (including tires 0_o)
i'm planning on getting a Kat 600 rear shock and some race tech front springs.

:( i don't have a camera.  It's black, year 2000.
I'm going to transfer title and pay fees + get insurance tomorrow.
all I've done so far is parked it.
I don't have any money until next monday so I'm going to keep it under 30 on these crappy tires.

Sounds like you need tires first!

and....I'm not insured until 7:19PM  :dunno_white:

also i can't ride after dark.  the DMV wouldn't give me my M1 with the certificate of completion from the MSF because i don't have a drivers license.  I have to do the skills test anyway.   :bs:

also...my driveway goes directly onto a busy street.  not very confidence inspiring.  I just want to ride on some god damn quiet roads.
I'm $%^#ing moving to montana.  I HATE PEOPLE.

When I started riding I found the best times to go out are early evening hours... 7PM or so during the weekdays. Seemed to be much less traffic then.  :thumb: Find the fastest route to some nice long back roads. I know I still have my favorite road to ride and have ridden it from day one  :icon_mrgreen: Its fun to ride the same road that you get familiar with  :thumb:

Congrats and welcome  :cheers:
