I just bought a 2002 GS500. Does anyone live around Miami that would want to go for a ride sometime?
congrats and welcome to the board
i'm in Miami! haven't found many twisty roads....I actually miss Ohio and W.VA now...
Hey, welcome to the GS, it is an awesome bike!
I'm about 1hr north (west palm beach area) and my sis goes to UM so i'm down there sometimes.
Maybe someday we could meet halfway (ft lauderdale boca area) and go out for a ride.
Also, id be glad to help with any maintanence or mods.
take care!
are you guys up for a little gtg/photoshoot this week? we could meet up downtown on the water, I always liked shots of the bay.
Jeremy, my horn wiring is fubar, how good are you with electrical systems? or even own a multimeter?
let me know if you ever head any farther north than miami
yah i have a multimeter around here somewhere, a horn fix is pretty simple, not much that can go wrong: switch, wires, horn-- just a matter of testing everything. Worse comes to worse we can go get you a miniature air horn and wire a new switch. let me know if i can help.

Somehow I doubt it... :laugh:
I'm in Palm Beach. I was thinking of doing the Lake Okeechobee ride some weekend. I know they usually leave on early Sunday morning. Anyone interested?

Ok, maybe not that. what part of columbus are you in? i used to live in gahanna.
I thought so, and I was hoping to squeeze some riding in that weekend... :icon_rolleyes:
I used to live in Hilliard. But we moved to Dublin last year, and I go to school in Cincinnati. After I graduate I'm hoping to move down to Florida. The thought of riding year round....ahhhh :bowdown:
Hey Spencer.... Just joined up and now one month on my 04 gs500f. I'm down in the Redlands and trying to find some body to ride with. How bout a Keys run? or a Hwy 27, or Everglades? Did a ride to Flamingo last week, theres actually some twistys !!!!! Drop me an e-mail :cheers:

A run down to Key West would be fun. I did that last summer, although it was on a Harley, so not as much fun. :)
Hey Buck....trying to set a ride up for this Sunday, chatting with spencer on e-mail right now ....Where u located?

Yeah, I've been through Miami a few times and it was crazy. I would probably want to live somewhere in the middle, either east or west coast.
Hey looks like u have all the mods done....was wondering about opening up stock exhaust and not jetting quite yet, would like as close to stock as possible, but cant stand the stock exhaust. Any Ideas????

Do you mean drilling out your stock exhaust? Or buying an after market pipe?
Drilling Out first...preferred....not sure if u can, aftermarket pipes seems they need to rejet.
Here's a thread about a really reamed out exhaust. Not sure if he had to rejet, you may want to send him a pm.

Sorry.. no pics from the Keys run....here's a few shots from the entrance to the Everglades I took this evening...and if we do the Okeechobee run , i'll remember the camera..

Next time I'm in the keys I'll post up and you guys can ride down past where we camp. I've only seen 1 maybe 2 gs's out on the roads. Every time I see one I get so excited. haha :laugh:
