how long were you a member either here or another motorcycle forum before you got your first bike? or am i the only moron who's a member at a forum for a product they don't own? :cookoo: :cookoo:
the GS found me I was not looking to buy a bike. had no experience riding a motorcycle but a guy didnt have the cash to pay me for a car he wanted to buy so gave me his bike for half the payment. along with a jacket and helmate... so I hopped on it that day and have been riding ever since. I cant remember how I found this site but I did and love it.
Well, I have had a ton of bikes and have a Honda Shadow for now.
You may want to think on that moron thing. :icon_razz: :icon_razz: :icon_razz: :icon_razz: :icon_razz: :icon_razz: :icon_razz:

Who said we need to HAVE a GS to LOVE a GS?
"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no stinkin' BADGES!"
I wasn't a member prior to owning the bike, but I lurked for a couple of weeks before getting my GS. I had it narrowed down to the GS, the Seca II or the Bandit as a project bike to get back into motorcycling. So I suppose I could have ended up a member of another bike specific forum.
Having said that, it was the quality of GStwin.com that helped tip the tables in favor of the GS. :thumb:
this forum is great. I owned my gs before even finding the forum but i did find the forum within the first week of buying my bike.
I browsed around here for awhile so that I would know what I could expect from a GS. Then I hunted one down and bought it. Then I became a member so i could ask questions :)

You hear that Suzuki? Yeah, they should definitely start paying us... haha :icon_lol:
About a year and a half without a bike on another board.
lessie, i joined ex-500.com first, thinking i'd buy a ninja. then i joined a hornet forum (honda 599), then a nighthawk forum.
iirc, i found a gs on craigslist the same week i joined here. road it from the sale (300 miles) home, new tires, then 700 miles to tampa. this was within a week or so.
gstwins rocks out with the socks out !
