Hello all, my name is Skeets (Yes my real name). I am 17 years old and attend Eleanor Roosevelt High school in Greenbelt MD. I have been riding since I was 16 and 4 months. I took my MSF course and passed with flying colors. I always wear full gear and do not ride like a squid. I got my bike in April of 2008 (brand new 2007 Gs500f for $4000). I've been riding ever since and racked up about 6500 miles.
Having said that if anyone on here is a noobie like I was/still am, don't make the same mistake I did. Get a used bike for your first bike. I dropped my bike 3 times now. 4th day I had it I went to my foot down and I slipped on a stick and the bike fell. It cracked the fairing and the turn signal. Then a couple months later I forgot about the kick stand and the bike went over. Luckily it landed on my leg instead of breaking something else. Then about 4 months later I was riding in the rain and I went to slow down and the bike just went out from under me. Caused a little damage and broke the turn signal and scratched the fairings. But remember what I said previously ATGAT, never got a scratch one me. That all happened when I was a super noobie and now nothing of the sort has happened. I'm a lot more comfortable with the bike, at first I wasn't strong enough for it (5'10 120lbs) but now I am. So after a year+ riding my gs500f i'm going to see what I can get for it on craigs list once I clean her up a bit. I ordered her some new brakes, changed the oil, bled the brakes, cleaned and lubed the chain, washed the bike entirely, getting some flushmounts for a clean look, and I got some cool LED caps for the tire thingys.
Mods to bike:
Fenderectomy (My style)
Integrated Turn Signals
K&N Drop in (with restrictor)
Puig Racing windscreen
Reflector removal/stickers
SOON TO COME:
Flushmount turn signals
HH Brakes
new caps
Possibly new plastics
Another thing you might ask in the pics: Why is your body fairing cracked and why do the sides have scratches on them?
My body fairing is cracked because some idiot decided they wanted my passenger helmet that wasn't worth a nickel because it was on the side of my bike when I crashed in the rain. The helmet took the whole fall. So the helmet was useless. The helmet was taken while I was inside just going to get my cover from inside the condo. Thieves are very quick. They used some type of sharp object...Maybe a screw driver not sure what they used..But they broke my plastics to get a worthless helmet. And the scratches on the side are from carrying a passenger helmet. They seem to scratch up the side really bad ;(
Here are the pics: from when I got it to now:
First day!

Didn't get rid of it yet. I still have it. And yes, I want a Kawasaki 650 or a Kawasaki ZZR-600. My gs was for learning and that's all it was for. I learned on it and now it's time for an upgrade.

...i would imagine that would be sensible with an entry level bike...haha, but ya, i really liked my bike a whole lot when i had it, but when the cadillacs give you a run for your money...well, you then realize your friends grandma has a hotter street machine than you... :icon_lol:
So, you are 17 had the bike what a year have dropped it three times. TBH you have just enough skill to get your young Arse KILLED! You should be able to ride a slow bike fast and if your skills are properly tuned you can beat those "cadillacs" in the corners any day of the week. Trust me the feeling you get from doing that is awesome. Just last week I took a ride with some squids that my bike was the smallest by at least 200CCs was ridiculed all day at the meet. Then we went on the ride "we hope you can keep up with that little thing" So, when they were taking the straight road because they couldn't carve up the nicer alternative I jumped on it and ended up at the light in FRONT of them. They stopped ridiculing me very quickly.
I just want you to be safe! It's not about what you ride. It's that you ride!

Yes I dropped my bike 3 times in 3 months. Yes I'm 17 years old. I've learned a lot, and I feel comfortable upgrading. I rode my friends Honda CBR 1000 and it was amazing. I just feel as though the Gs has served her purpose and it's time for something new to take it's place.
I'm very mature btw, I'm not one of those crazy 17 year olds doing wheelies and weeving in and out. (not that the gs could do wheelies cough)
gs cant do wheelies...i'll wheelie a harley bagger if you want...i think you should stick with the gs till you learn to ride and know what the bike is capable of, not that you should wheelie, but when you think that it cant shows that you are alittle squidly still...haha, really learn that its the rider not the machine. respect the power you already got before moving up. and please, dont wheelie, your mother wants you wants you around for a good while longer i am sure! :icon_mrgreen:
Quote from: 94suzuki500 on July 20, 2009, 07:29:33 PM
i totally agree, i have a zx6r and it is fun but the gs is way easier to ride faster, haha, i never dropped my bike but once when i had mine, and it was mainly from taking a turn at a light too fast...haha. but ya, i agree with you mary, keep the bike if you are dropping it from rider error...really, master the bike and then move on. the gs is not too fast straight line, but the turns are when the skill comes in. i remember my gs, i loved that thing, glad my dad made me keep it till i could actually ride before i got a bigger bike.
Haven't dropped her in 10 months :D. And have driven her everyday.
Since when did not droping it become a sign that you have outgrown it.
Cool.
Buddha.

I'm 33 and every time I get on my busa I tell myself I'm going to ride responsibly.
BUT...I almost always end up lane splitting, passing entire groups of cars at a time, standing the wheel up on the freeway because I can, little WFO trips to 186 mph, or something else just as stupid. It's hard to say no to power.
Having said that my GS is a piece of crap compared to my busa, and newer bikes are simply amazing. I can't blame you for thinking of upgrading. Figured I'd add my $.02

That Honda CBR 1000 made me realize what I'm missing. I wish I could keep both but I'm 17 and sell stuff on ebay to pay for my insurance and gas, so yeah.
I got a new GS and I've never dropped it (first bike 2k miles so far....). Also, a nice GS500 will do a wheelie. My '09 will do wheelies ez, 'specially after a gear down. Just becuz a 94 wont get the tire off the ground don't mean a nice GS can't. 4 god's sake, ninja 250's can do a wheelie if you know what ur doin'. Biggest diff. between a GS and a bigger bike is aesthetics. I don't blame ya 4 wantin' a bigger bike, if anything, just cuz they look amazing. Manufacturers put sooooo much more pride into the designs of the 600 cc + bikes

What was that? Did somebody say something? I was a little too busy doing wheelies on the '91 GS to hear....

Yeah, I'm not gonna give you a hard time about wanting something bigger, because I talk about wanting something bigger all the time, but still at 17 I was riding an 83 yamaha dual sport, then spent a year and a half on a ninja250 and only gave that up because some wildlife jumped in front of me and totaled it. Even at that point I went with something semi-sensible with my Triumph speed four. I guaruntee you'll kill yourself if you get a cbr1000. At most I wouldn't look at anything over one of the 600s, and even still you'd have a ton more fun on something like an SV. Even that Speed four would stand up in 3rd gear going 90mph and set the front wheel down well over 100, and that bike was down 20hp from the 600 supersports from the same year, so be careful, and have fun finding insurance too, I'd love to see your insurance guy's face when you tell him you're mature as you're asking for sportbike coverage(hahaha, oh it's so nice to finally be 26 and married).
None of that was meant to pick on you, I just enjoy seeing a teenagers hormones completely taking over their logic.
Oh I've done a wheelie on my Gs. It's more of a tire up tire down maybe 4 seconds. Not that wheelies matter.
I don't plan on getting any liter bike, those are killing machines. I want either a 650 or a old 600. (Also in my area a liter bike would be stolen in minutes)
I dunno...I'm 18 and ride a 2006 GS500F, so hopefully my opinion will mean something to you.
I don't see the point in a bigger bike at our age. The extra costs associated with a more expensive bike (less gas milage, more expensive to insure, more expensive parts) doesn't seem like a good move to me, especially when college is right around the corner (2 months away for me).
The power is plenty to keep up with anything but a supersport until about 90mph and with simple suspension mods you can be just as good as a 600r in the corners. I know if I jumped on a 600r bike or even something like an SV650 I would be tempted to see how fast I could go (I do it on the GS and I know you do too). Even if you don't hurt yourself you don't want to know the kind of financial trouble a big speeding ticket will get you.
For me its enough to go to the big motorcycle dealer and sit on all the fancy bikes and dream. Just have fun on the GS, it has a lot more to give you. The only problem I ever has with my GS was its cold bloodedness and I pretty much fixed that by changing the jets.
From one teen to another, keep the GS.

That's me and my bike about 4 months after I purchased her. This is what is looks like now after some modifications forced my a crash. I usually ride sans seat cowl.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/3740/crw8985.jpg)
May as well put in my 2c worth as well. I'm a new rider, almost 40, have had my GS for 9 months and put 10,000 kms on her, never dropped. We have restrictions on bikes you can have here (Aus) whilst learing, and the GS is one of the bigger/better bikes you can have. Initially it was only meant to be a 12 month stop-gap until I could get a Suzuki GSX1400. Now I've changed my mind and will be keeping the GS.
Whilst I would *like* a more powerful bike there is a difference between want and *need*. The GS is more than capable enough upto the speed limit in the traffic light grand prix against most cars, is very economical, easy to work on and is fine in the twisty stuff.
I only ride my GS upto the speed limit. I know if I had a more powerful bike I would ride a lot faster, do more stupid things just because you can. I don't want to do that. I have a wife and kids I want to come home to. You have a bro and mum/dad who want to see you come home safe as well. There's no rush to upgrade, ride her for another 12-24 months and see how you feel then.

haha, 4 seconds...lame...sorry had to add it.
It's not only that I want a bigger bike for the engine, it's that I don't like how my Gs looks cosmetically because it's my first bike if that makes sense? It's about $1000 to fix all the cracks and what not. Or a new to me bike. How do I say....I just like the looks of the bigger bikes :cheers:
Power and a bigger bike equal a different ride. I will not deter you from upgrading as we all want what we want. You seem "mature" as you put it. So if you are, then you know what to do. I wouldn't suggest jumping on a Busa anytime soon, but moving to a 600 or the like is not a bad move. Just cause you dropped the GS doesn't mean you won't drop another bike. Hell, at 120 pounds you are lucky to hold it up, lol.
Do what you want, that is the beauty of free will. Make sure you take the Advanced level course through MSF though. I think you may need that so you DON'T drop another bike.

Of course thats why I'm getting a used bike so if I drop it...it's no biggie! I'm planning on taking the advanced MSF course. I will never own a liter bike as they are way too fast for me lol.
Nothing wrong with wanting a bigger bike. Many of us have purchased the GS500 as a first bike to develop and refine our skills. I have not been able to maximize the potential of my GS yet (and I may never do it) but I intend in changing bikes next season all the same. For me it is largely having something different every few years.
My next bike is targeted to be the DUC 696 however I also like the 600cc SS bikes that are available and will consider these over the winter. If my husband changes bikes next year perhaps I will claim his 07 ZX14...jk.
Regardless, if you have the means to change your bike, and it is matched with your skill and level headedness, then why not do it.
For me, for the rest of this season, my GS500 will remain this girls best friend!

I was getting a free Ducati 929, all I had to do was pay for shipping from Germany to here. I think it would have been a little too powerful for my first bike O0

Well first of all, it wasn't that long ago that I was 18 and had a motorcycle, and trying to convince him that something is capable, economical, and easy to work on, is gonna go no where. He wants a 600 because the girls are gonna think it looks cool, and that's not just Skeets, that's every 17 year old ever. Now that I'm a little older I'm fine with riding around on a gs500, or even my wife's 50cc moped, but when I was a teenager you don't want to settle for "good enough". There's no way to change his mind, and I don't intend to, 100hp feels amazing. Even if 40 is plenty on back roads, I spend plenty of time on straight roads too.
I think it's the same mentality that makes me realize that if I bought another 600, I'd probably speed around and ride like a jerk, but I'm probably going to buy a 1000cc bike, and just knowing the power is there is gonna keep me riding a bit calmer. Just that mental thing of knowing what I have, and not needing to prove that it's fast. I can't verify that until I get a bigger bike though.
and also....

I've also got my eyes on a zrx1200!

You speak the truth :angel:
I upgraded my gs500 to an 86 ninja 1000. yeah the 130hp was awesome, but going from $107 a year to $35 a month sucked. the 33 mpg sucked more, and was alot more scary. instant torque sounds like a good idea, but I ride year round and it was dangerously scary. I was relieved when I took it back off the road.

My gs500f is $670 a year full coverage and an Kawasaki ninja ZZR600 is about $800 for full coverage. My gs500 gets 40mpg anyways, I dunno why.
i hope you have a lot of stuff to sell since you will need a fortune to pay for the insurance on a 600 at your age.
When I was that old and had my triumph, my entire income went towards the bike, but I was young, so who cares. The bike, insurance, gas, riding gear, tickets, tires, shiny parts.... It never ends. That bike was considered a "standard", so my insurance was about 1/4th of what it would've been had I bought the tt600, which was the same exact bike with the exception of the front fairing. Suckers!
I'd really like to find a bike demo somewhere so I can get a chance to ride a bigger bike or two before I settle on what I really want, but at the moment the bike will mostly be used for joy rides, or trips to the store 20 minutes away, so I'll either be on multi lane roads with stop lights every so often, or else taking back roads somewhat nicely, so I think it'll be alright. A 1000cc sport bike would definitely scare me beyond belief assuming I tried to ride it like a sportbike, but I plan to strip it, streetfighter it, and give it some riser bars, so i think the power would be a bit more managable. I've only been on a big bike once, it was an old cbr900rr in a parking lot. I just gave it some gas smoothly in 1st and the front wheel just ever so gently floated right off the ground. It was pretty crazy.
When I first got my gs500f my insurance was $1300 a year! It got cut in half :) Thanks progressive! Well I'm really debating on selling my bike and getting a car now. It's going to be winter here and it really sucked last year trying to ride in the ice and snow.
I mean I can always get a bike when I'm older and what not. It's just really hard to let go of motorcycling because I have so many great memories!!

I can understand liking the look of the bigger bikes, but $1000 to fix your bike cosmetically is about $800 too much. I replaced the entire right side of my bike with brand new plastics for $50 shipped off ebay. Got a few cans of paint for under $20 and flush mounts like mine are $20 shipped on ebay (see previous page for what it looks like now). Throw on some clip ons for an extra $100 if you want for a sportier look/ride and you are good to go. Plus its nice to have a bike that you don't have to worry about cosmetically because its already a little quirky.
:whisper: If you want to save on insurance, put your bike in your parent's name and have it on their insurance...much cheaper
Now your last statement sounds like a very good idea. This shows your maturity, there will be plenty of time for bikes after you get a education and establish yourself. There is another option you have shorted yourself on, fix the bike yourself. If it's all cosmetic that's no big deal.
40 mpg there is something bad wrong with the bike or you're shifting at 9k all the time. I consistently get 55 to 65 depending on what type of riding and how hard I'm riding it. I just did a 200 mile trip with my son on friday and got 52 mpg on the 100 miles to meet him cruising 75 to 85 (6500 to 7500 rpm) and 59 on the way back cruising at 65 to 75 (5500 to 6500). What I have found is the GS gets great mileage if you keep it under 5500 you will get 60 plus. Cruise it at 55 (4500 rpm) and expect 65 or better.
I will be happy with this little bike for quite some time I will do a couple more mods to make it more comfortable (seat, gel pad and memory foam) and I'm thinking about highway bars (oh the sacrilege) when it is time for another it will be the BMW F800ST but then again I'm old and after I get my last son through college I'll have money again.
I tried putting my bike on my dads insurance and it was more than what I'm paying now because he has a DUI.
Cosmetically I've been looking for plastics all over ebay and on various websites alike. Haven't found any that are better than mine. My brother said that I could fix my fairings with a little bondo and sanded with some paint and it'd look good as new.
It's just really hard right now to decide to keep the bike or get a car. I really love my bike, and I love riding...but it's not practical for the winter riding. Decisions Decisions. This is really hard.
What you could really look into doing, if you don't want to give up bikes yet, is pace yourself since you're still 17 and have more than enough time to get a fast bike, and look around on craigslist or wherever for a really cheap bike to have with your car. A quick browse and I found this one..... http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/1280598684.html
(http://images.craigslist.org/3n13of3p7ZZZZZZZZZ97kd9ee343294cb13fd.jpg)
That one says it's blowing fuses, but still, you can find bikes like that, even less cruiserish for the same price or cheaper. Plus all that one would need is a flat seat and some clubman bars and it would look awesome, get just as much attention as a sportbike(plus you could say "yeah, it used to be a lame cruiser, but I fixed it up), and would be sooooo much cheaper. I'm gonna keep an eye out for a cheap 100-150cc bike in that same style just for quick rides around town.
my insurance is 266 for a whole year...and it was like 315 a year when i was 16...and thats for a zx6r now. :woohoo:

Full insurance? Or liability?
Unfortunately, I have to have full coverage, my dad doesn't believe in anything else....Even though I paid for the bike and for the insurance. I told him I should just get Comprehensive and liability but he doesn't think so.
Alright take it from a fellow 17 year old. 600 is too much with that little under your belt. I STARTED on a cbr 600. When I realized it would do 140 with a passenger without breaking a sweat, I traded it for my gs a week later. FAR too much power, too early. You WILL hurt yourself, especially seeing as you have a tendency to drop things. I cant say that i dont wish I had it again now that I have a good 20,000 miles or so under my belt, but i love my gs to death. Ill keep rollin it til it don't roll no more. And they CAN look good, I get compliments on mine all the time. And chicks love it. Theres no need to go over the 100mph that this bike is fully capable of, even with a passenger. 100 is plenty to impress a girl or your friends, if that's what you just have to do(though it seems kinda squidly to me, I think you're in it for the wrong reasons. Ride becausee you love it, not to impress people.) Just my two cents, maybe youll take it to heart from someone your age. BTW- Insurance was as much per month as this gs is over a year. Consider that. Anyways . . . . since we are posting pics
The day that I got it--

just thought I would share. When I first got it I thought it looked ghey but now its pretty badass if I may say so myself. I have invested a total of maybe . . . . lets see . . . (calculator) . . . $45 in all. 20 for the headlights, 12 for the barend mirror, and 10 in 'banner red' krylon spray paint. I already had the pipe(and it was only like 12 bucks on ebay, was meant for my prelude), the l.e.d.'s, and the steel for the 12 bar, along with all the other little bits that have been changed.
I guess the point is that I love this bike. They are great machines and CAN look good as any other sportbike with little invested. Don't dis them.

Um, it was obviously directed at your fart tipped GS500. I am not a mean person, but that needs to go.
As for insurance, I pay $160 a year with a very long driving record. That is with full coverage as well. But Progressive gives me an age and a marriage discount. So that may be it.

welp...two things....if its for girls, dont do it. If you cant get them with out a bike, you'll only be a tool when you get the "prettier" bike. "Hey skeets, can i ride with you?" Get used to that line.
And if its for more power....dont do it. Power is nothign without control. You should wait until you have a few more pucker moments on the gs before upgrading. Believe me, theyre there. You have a lot to learn about bikes and girls. Dont rush anything. you have a couple years to live.
Im all for upgrades. Theres a time for them.
Wow, that bike is the ugliest piece of crap I have ever seen. I still cannot believe people rattle can motorcycles and cars.....unreal....
I'm sure we can't convince him out of getting a bigger bike if he wants one. Cosmetically, if the cracks and stuff bother you on the GS, getting another bike and cracking the fairings on it will bother you too. Anyways, get the car.

There will ALWAYS be "pucker moments" no matter what bike you have. The REAL question is: Are you ready for a pucker moment on a "better" bike? I personally do not know skeet, so I cannot say (and no one else on this forum can) whether or not he's ready for a slightly bigger bike.

Be prepared for the HUGE increase in your insurance premium if you get a bigger bike. I just WISH I was able to afford full coverage on my R6. Collision is the ONLY thing missing. I pay less than $400 a year for my bike. FULL coverage including collision brings it over $2300. I also couldn't justify that expense... especially when I bought my bike for $7800 OTD. I'd basically be writing off the purchase price of the bike every 3 years.

Yeah, that was a little rough. We've already picked on his exhaust, no need to be a jerk.

dude i'm 15 and i dont plan on getting another bike untill i have a job that can support a bigger bike plus with a bigger bike you dont really have any usable power unless you like breaking the law =P and does it really matter what people think about how you bike looks? :dunno_white: also if your looking to go faster why would you want a car? fast car insurance isn't any cheaper =P i tried to convince my dad to buy half of a sentra S-ER vspec untill my dad found out how much insurance was....lets say it was more than a liter bike but i think you'd have to sell alot more stuff on ebay for insurance and gas etc on a bigger bike. but this is all IMO

actually the pj1 fast epoxy paint is working very nicely. The only area that rubs off is under the tank/rubber. Not noticable. It WILL scratch if you try, like most any other paint
a Phone I guess. And skeets get the bike you want and be happy so what if a 15 year old is fine with his bike or another 18 year old. Im 23 and would love a 1000 but have to wait till I get the moolaah. I may end up getting a 750 but the goal is a either a CBR1000rr or an SV1000 fully faired. And the GS was my first bike only had it over a year or so. Its my bike and I wanna look cool O0 no I just wanna go fast and if I feel like it bring the front end up with out slipping the clutch.

The only thing I'm really worried about is rocks getting shot at those rails from the front tire. I'd rather just leave them silver if the alternative is an awful black paint job. I still haven't decided if I like the older style with the rails there, or if I'd rather just see the main part. If I can find an old Ducati 916 tail instead of the R1 tail on the bike now, I'd definitely rather keep them silver. It would give it the classic 94 gsxr1100 streetfighter look, although I bet that tail would look HUGE on the GS.
oh i didnt realize you were talking about the rear. The rear is unscathed, only some oil fling and some road grit on the license plate. Paint is fine.
In the front by the header and the lower engine section is fine as well, no rock chips.
I just think a bedliner would give a durable more even looking finish. But not require full dismantle like powdercoating.

You may not.
No, I was talking about the front. The back doesn't have too much to worry about, it doesn't even have an undertail to mess up at the moment, although that's my next project. I was just worried if I painted those rails around the engine that all the stuff coming from infront of me would hit them and make them look like a mess.
Car mufflers are for cars.....period! I bet sooo many people laugh as they drive by you with a 5" can on your bike, I know I would.....My 00 Civic Si w/ DOHC B16 sees 9k almost every day with a muffler like that (GReddy) and it still sounds dumb. 4 cylinder car motors will never sound good. IMO.
Agreed....

Be careful. I'm an emotionally fragile creature. You almost hurt my feelings with that one. *not* :flipoff:
I was posting from my mobile device whoever wanted to be witty. And just for the record, never in this thread did I ever really ask for anyone opinion if I should get a bigger bike. You all don't know me and don't know what I'm fully capable of.
I just got $2000 out of my paypal account and I'm now on craigslist looking for a used 650 or 600. I have called progressive and got quotes and I can afford them. My gs has an offer of $2400.
If I can't find a bike I'm going to buy some grannies car, and sell it when summer starts.
And since my thread was hijacked, whoevers bike that is with the big ass pipe thing, you remind me of the mexicans around here who make their crappy toyota tercels look like sports cars.

In retrospect Skeets get what you want. I think you were lucky enough to choose the GS500 as your first bike and smart to take the MSF course. When you post things here you are going to get opinions that's what it is all about, albeit sometimes negative they are just opinions.
People on here generally 99.999% just want to help others. And in your case - the small thread jack I think you got a lot of good advice and even from some one of your age. I think the census here is we all want you to be safe and get some more experience before you move up in horse power is all. When you can ride the GS on winding roads and keep up with bigger bikes you're going to realize two things. One it's not the power that makes riding fun, and two if you "can" do that, then you are ready to move up to more HP.
I know you are short in the tooth right now but when people post opinions, mostly they are trying to save you the grief of making the mistakes they have in the past. So I know it is hard to listen to others tell you something contrary to what you "want" to hear, but in here it's not BS, it's advice that is tried and true worth its weight in "GOLD"
So Good luck and always be safe and smart they go together! :thumb:

The reason I got the gs500f in the first place was because I took advice. I was going to get a Kawasaki 650 (Kawasakis are built so much better than Suzukis) but decided to get the gs500f instead.
I don't ride on winding roads, my bike isn't really for pleasure...It's a tool to get me to work, and to school. I've riden through the twisties and it's not fun imo. It's only fun when you know the next turn isn't going to have sand or gravel so you can really lean the bike.
I can control the bike fine if you're asking? I ride it everyday usually very spirited also. I don't care that they can't afford to upgrade and they're happy with their gs500, I'm not. That's all that matters.

I'm mostly looking for a Kawasaki now. My brother says they're better built than my Suzuki...and proves it every time we work on our bikes.
Better built ??? ??? ???
Tell him to replace the starter clutch.
Then come on back and say that again.
Yahama's are MUCH better than both of those brands.
YAMAHA FOREVER BABY!!!
(http://www.r6-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif)
I've never owned one, but I always thought it was generally agreed upon that Honda's were the best built.
What kind of kawasaki does your brother have? is it the same kind of bike, because if you're compairing the build quality of a GS500 to a zx6r or a zx10r, I can tell you where your problem is. If he's riding an ex500 and it's still built a lot better than your GS, then that's a fair compairison.
As long as it's japanese I'm plenty happy with the build quality, and am not looking to split hairs.
I've ridden a 20 year old Yamaha that had no problems, a new kawasaki ex250 with no real problems, but the cheap parts wore out before the inspection was even due next year, and a new triumph, which I'm not even going to start on. I think all 4 of the main japanese companies are pretty consistant when it comes to quality, but I do really like some Kawasakis, specifically the z1000, I unfortunately happen to think that all of the Ninja's are god awful ugly, although I'd still ride one without giving it a second though. Now the zx-7r, that bike is a work of art, and something I would consider one of the best looking sportbikes ever built.
if you're looking for a commuter bike, why would you move up to a bigger bike when the GS is cheaper to maintain and has better MPG than a bigger bike? there's nothing better than a GS when it just comes to getting from point A to point B cheaply with plenty of zip.
Is there a smiley for a "Thread going out of control"? We might as well get the Ford vs. Chevy thing going too. :cheers:

Yes I'm looking for a commuter and I'm also looking for something I'm not embarrassed riding. I'm also looking for a bike that has fuel injection as the GS is a pain in the winter.
Now to the better quality, when I'm working on my bike (first owner, bought it new) different screws will be used, wrong sizes, or couple washers missing here. And the wiring of the Gs500f? lol it was insane when we did the valve check. Oh and I love my factory back brake, comes with freee squeek!!!!

Nope, only exhaust I have ever really cared for on a Civic (even a B16 as someone said they had[on a sidenote, GReddy makes terrible pipes for hondas]) is HKS. I had an HKS pipe on my supra too and it was like an eargasm every time i cranked it up. Now I want an HKS pipe for my bike . . . . ok when i get that you can have the one thats on it now :thumb:

I have a pic of Flick on my cell and I show everybody my baby and mostly I get "That's a cool bike"

I have only had one person 'dis my Flick but I then made them eat their words with two things 1) Well, if you want a bike where there are three exactly like it in a meet with 12 bikes that's cool 2) when I carved their big slow arse in the curves and beat them to the destination. I have a pic of Flick on my cell and I show everybody my baby and mostly I get "That's a cool bike"
Brutally honest here: I think your thinking with the wrong head.
BTW was it synthetic oil or regular oil? And Gas 93 Octane is best right? (Running out of this thread with head ducked)

Learn some grammar.
Not worth it......
You know Skeet you have definately proven that you are not mature enough for a bigger bike. I really can't believe I got in a tit for tat match with you. I really posted the first post out of concern for you. But you cannot take constructive criticism without getting fully frustrated and defensive. To me that is a huge indicator that you have not reached the maturity level of a competent adult. By your own admission you've stated that you are embarassed to ride a bike that you have destroyed. Are you embarassed because when people ask you "what happened?" that you have to admit your impotence?
Sadly, I have scrapped up too many young men like you off of Interstate-4 and to be honest it sticks with me. I remember one time the guy your age sandy red hair or at least I think that was the color, there was so much blood from his head wound (yup had a helmet on) that it might have been dyed that way from the blood. But his hip well that is where he slid you could see about two inches of jeans, followed by about six inches of blood, then about eight inches of white. Can you guess what that was? When I got his helmet off and was asking him questions I found out he had just gotten that brand new smashed up gixxer 600 that day and was hot dogging it but he hit a tar snake. That is all it took one moment of "lets see what this new bad boy can do" to cause this 19 year old months and months of hospitalizations, surgeries, and probably years of physical therapy. Not to mention the repercussions of his head injury.
I will pray for you young man because you will need it. I also pray you never go faster than your gaurdian angel can fly. I hope what I have said has some iota of impression on you. I will not banter with you. But, you started it by telling me to go back to the kitchen. Walk a mile in my shoes and you will have a different attitude about how precious life is.
Be safe in whatever road you take. I hope my grammar was suitable to you I only have a college degree so I may be a bit behind you.

shut this down..its not going anywhere.
I'd be embarassed as hell if I only weighed 120, shoot, that GS has to be fast with only 115-120 pounds on it....lol
Skeets started the thread with everyone giving him the benefit of the doubt. He acted mature enough, but now he is showing his age. :confused:

+1 when i got mine i still weighed 250 or so (that was before i started training for the marine corps) and it would run 100 even then

Now to the better quality, when I'm working on my bike (first owner, bought it new) different screws will be used, wrong sizes, or couple washers missing here. And the wiring of the Gs500f? lol it was insane when we did the valve check. Oh and I love my factory back brake, comes with freee squeek!!!!
My rear brake never squeaked. All washers and bolts were symmetrically correct. I was able to do a valve check from start to finish in roughly 20-25 minutes. In the 12,500 miles I put on the GS, I never once had to change a valve. No wiring issues ever, especially when you take the time to look at the wiring diagram. You think the GS is hard to work on? You haven't spent enough time working on anything else to know just how easy you have it.
You ever try to rebuild the carburetors on a Honda CBX?

Cool story bro.
I don't know about you guys, but I feel perfectly fine with letting him do what he wants. For better or worse, it's just drama on the internet. There are so many types online now, it's almost expected. I for one never really knew Toogoofy, nor did I pay any attention to her posts before, but I have a new found respect for her.
Skeets, just be safe. I wish for a nicer bike, but i've also bonded with my GS. When I move up, I doubt i will get rid of it just because it's embarassing. I don't have the ~experience marks~ that you have made on your bike, but i hope whatever you get next doesnt cost an arm and leg to repair....you know, in case accidents happen (which they do). At least you ride with gear, which still says something. But gear cant always protect you, it's there to hold most of you intact. You wanna pick up chicks? get a harley, she'll love the feeling better. And be kind to those who do have experience, they may be acting as overprotective parents, but in the line of duty... death is no laughing matter.

very well said.
I respect everyone's opinion but I've learned over the years that you don't listen to everything you hear. In this case I took a lot of things you all have said to heart about my new choice but took a lot of it as bullsh*t.
I know one of the members even made a thread about me which really showed what type of person he/she is. I understand that this is a GS website and when someone puts down the GS you all go insane like the worlds going to end. I don't think anyone ever read my posts, but instead just typed away. Maybe it's because I'm 17 which makes anything I say inferior? I don't know.
I'll recap.
The GS500f I bought in 2008 was for learning purposes only. Now I could have started on a GSXR1000, I had the money. But I took the advice of another forum to start on a more forgiving bike. Now, I've done my damage to my Gs500f and I want someone else to learn on it. I feel as though I've learned enough on the GS500 to upgrade to something bigger.
You absolutely don't know me or how I learn or my capabilities. Don't judge me on who I am, my age or anything. Even if statistics say something those are for groups, not individuals. I bet the people who criticized me have dropped their bikes. At least I was honest about all my flaws.
This wasn't an attack at anyone at all. Nor were any of my posts. I also am sorry for some of my comments that were out of line. I apologize. Just try not to judge a book by it's cover and everyone will be happier.
Gunna put some new brakes on my gs500 today!! and-
I'm going to go see a zx6r today. Hopefully it looks good.

Not at all, actually. I've never wanted a supersport. They are impractical for street riding, uncomfortable for long distance, and best suited to the track or twisty roads.
Or convincing little kids such as yourself that they are cool, eh broseph?

Watch you talkin bout Willis I already been riding today :flipoff:! I even got Flick a treat a shiney new 15th sprocket will be here on Tuesday YAY. Still got $80 to spend on him thanks to some amazing people on this site. AND AND AND get this I found a kick arse pair of water proof cargo pants that are water proof that fit over my boots and pants for get this $5 YES! So was a good day!
Skeet you are a good young man. Trust me I respect you for wearing gear and such. I know alot of people twice your age that is riding a hayabusa as her first bike (dropped it 6 times already) wears stilletos when riding, no helmet, and spagetti straps shirt! So, age really isn't it!

Yes, but the ability to get there in a much shorter period of time without the necessary skills to cope with it can lead to situations where the end result is as described above.
i'm honestly of the opinion that here in the States we need a "tiered" liscensing system as some of our brothers 'cross the pond have. but hey, that's just me.

Me, Alpha, Roadstergal, Pablo (DEFINITELY Pablo) and a few others can whoop your arse on a SS any day. I learned on the GS, and took my riding skills over to the SS world. Alpha and RG can probably handle a SS better than I can since they've been to the track many times. Pablo RIDES an SS at the track.
Sorry... I don't know what my point was. I'm dead tired from NO sleep last night (literally) and a 24 mile bicycle ride this morning. I'll try and remember my point while I'm in LaLa Land.

I just wanted to quote this again because I think it's hilarious.
How has no one said this yet???
SV650.
The GS500 is in insurance group 7, the SV650 is group 9, while (for example) things like the ZX-6R is group 14-17. WAY to expensive. Hell, my Bandit 600S is in group 13 and it sucks to insure.
I'm buying a SV650S (2003+) ASAP.
btw, I've had the GS500 for three years now and I could never bring myself to sell it. Granted, I've redone the whole thing so I'm a bit attached.
Quote from: mullethunter3 on July 28, 2009, 01:17:25 PM

SV650.
Because he doesn't want an SV. He wants a supersport so he can look cool and pick up girls and ride it in straight lines, because twisties aren't fun. He isn't in it for the pleasure of riding, he's in it because he thinks it makes him look cool. Also, he's 17 and knows everything about eeverything and the rest of us are stupid old adults who don't know what it is like to be his age.
So if I am 31 am I a stupid older adult yet?!
ok skeet, i totally hear you on the wanting to upgrade bit oh really i do, and i dont want you to think that i am just joining the band wagon of lets pick on skeet, im not.
However you say you have had the bike a year and that its done what its supposed to, i have to disagree as you said you picked up 6500 miles in that year but to be honest thats not a lot, iv been riding for 4 years now had my gs for 6 months and to be honest iif i had bought anything bigger i would be dead right now.
what i am trying to say is i would really consider putting atleast 10,000 miles on the bike before swapping out, yes you arent that pleased with the aesthetics but thats a relatively easy solution. afterall there are loads of guys on here who can guide you through how to modify it in almost any way you want, from fixing the cracked panels to making brand new custom panels to stripping it naked.
All i am saying is there are lots of options with the gs that will make it look amazing for a lot less than a new bike and there are also a lot of modifications that can make it perform fantastically.
well there you go there is my 2p
this thread is effin' hilarious. if the dork wants to kill himself - let him. one more idiot off the road making a bad name for the rest of us.
BTW, d-o-u-c-h-e becomes dork in the filter. how funny is that?

Now that is the funniest motivational yet!!!
actually i read a study the other day in one of the bike magazines in the uk and they checked the past 3 years and found there were 55 fatalities in the uk, they then looked at what kind of bikes the accidents were on and 92% of them were sports bikes so if u stick with ur gs it means u only have an 8% chance of dying lol

Man, people here hate fast bikes! haha, I fully understand that people should ride what they can handle, and only upgrade when they're ready, and if people were only saying this because Skeet is young and has only ridden for 6k miles(hell I had a ninja 250 as a 2nd bike and rode that thing for 14000 miles), but I usually see people trying to talk ANYONE out of upgrading from their GS that mentions it here. Smaller bikes are great for learning and twisty roads, but not everyone want to spend all their time on back roads, or caring about their gas mileage. I don't need a big engine, I don't even need an engine. I imagine I'll spend more time on a bicycle than I ever will on a motorcycle, but I can still appreciate a strong engine when I have one.
Yeah, +1. Alotta ppl here seem to think the GS500 is like the only bike worth riding or some shiz. If I could've afforded a gixxer instead of a GS500F I would have bought a gixxer hands down. But, who am I to talk? I rode my GS home from the dealership(25 miles) with not so much as one second experience on a streetbike, although I had oplenty of dirtbike experience. LOL. I have never dropped it i might add.
i'm a little confused. the bike is, "just a tool" to you and you don't enjoy riding it? you don't ride for the pleasure of riding? :dunno_white: my corolla is "just a tool" to get me and the family around as well. but i tell you what, i really, really love this car. more than any i've ever had. i ENJOY driving it. i look forward to moments driving this thing. sure, it isn't the fastest or probably even the coolest looking thing around, but you know what? none of that matters, it does it's job and i like it. that's what counts. i'm not going to tell you not to upgrade or whatever. it's your cash, spend it how you want. however, i'm going to suggest you think about WHY you want to upgrade, WHY you ride to begin with. if you're not enjoying yourself, maybe motorcycling isn't for you. just my .02 :thumb:
No need to upgrade anymore I totalled the bike today. :cheers:
well................ummmmmmmmmmmmm.............hope you're ok buddy, really. :cheers:
Just road rash. 24 stitches. Not bad.
glad to hear you're ok.
Glad your okay. But, I want a story i.e what happened what you were wearing pics as we say here would be good too. How did the gear hold up?
You do know that this thread will probably now go epic!
There is soooo something I wanna say but I won't :angel:

not a matter of not believeing, we just are pic-whores! :icon_mrgreen:

you must have a small head. my melon plus helmet would have got caught on somethign and yanked my cervical spine loose from my foramen magnum. woopie!
XS helmet and I'm skinnier than a rat catchers dog.
how bad is the bike?
Yup, those were the pics I was wondering about. I want to know how gear held up what bike looks like etc! Where did the stitches come in at. Related to gear failure or non protected area?
You can take the girl out of the EMS field but you can't take the EMT out of the girl! I love disecting MVA and their MOIs other trauma related incidents excite me too!
Heal up and take care.
mary
I dunno how the bike is they threw me in the back of an ambulance. When i saw it all it had was rashed fairings and broken bar ends and broken turn signal
Glad you were wearing your gear! ATGATT You are a lucky young Man! Betcha loved being C-Spined. You are already hurting so we leave you strapped to a board so your already hurt back will start spasming for good measure! You do know EMS workers are masochist right?
Stiches my body hates stiches!
What happened was that after the crash I was like I'm fine...and the police officer was like no you're not. I was like look and started walking around. He ordered me to the ground and called rescue. I sat there and they came and I refused treatment but then they were like how old are you? and I was like 17 so they were like it's not your choice so they took me and towed the bike.
They admitted me to trauma and they were like wtf? He has f%$king scrapes and needs stitches. Next minute I know some other biker came in that wasn't wearing gear. I heard "have you ever had a blood transfusion before??" and him coughing and shaZam!.
I got stitches in the knee cuz I wasn't wearing pads there.
Rash on my finger...I dunno how..no holes in the glove.
Rash on legs from wearing jeans only.
Rash on hip
Rash on elbow.
Doc said my knee is fine and that I'll be in pain for a couple weeks.

I got up and felt fine after my last crash, and I had a hole in my arm. You don't feel it for a while. So another car hit you? that's not time for "I'm ok", that's a time for "ooooww my neck!!, my neck and my back! is my bike hurt?! My recently deceased grandmother gave me that bike! she was the only family I had!"
haha, not really, but you get the point. No need to act tough when it's going on someone else's insurance.
Glad you're ok
It's not going on their insurance :\ the person left the scene.

How do you bin something?
It's slang for crashing/trashing it.
well first, glad you're okay man.
how fast were you going? doesn't seem to be too fast 'cause your mesh jacket seemed to have held up pretty well. i've seen pics of mesh jackets torn to shreds after a rough slide.
bike is totalled just from a slide? :dunno_black:
cheers,

I'm glad you are OK Skeets. But I'm sorry I've bit my tongue and kept my mouth shut about you and your posts for the most part.
I have to ask you and everyone else in the forum. Where are your parents? I have two words for you, "Child Services!" Who in their right mind would let a "Kid" get a Super Bike after an incident such as this?

I have nothing to add really. I just want to keep reading this pointless thread that should have ended a long time ago. Maybe by the end of the day Skeets can start asking for donations for a new crotch rocket. :kiss3:
No need for donations, he can get a nice used gixxer with the insurance pay out from a newer gs if he looks around. I got $4000 when my ninja250 got totaled, but man did I blow that money instead of buying a good used bike. If I HAD bought a good used bike, I'd probably still have it to this day.
How about some pictures of the bike?
I just went to J&J towing in clinton to give them the release form so my insurance company could look at it. The right fairing is completely trashed, blinker and bar ends are trashed, blinker trashed, exhaust trashed.
I didn't crash my bike I was hit by an Infinity. It's in the police report with witnesses.
My insurance company is dealing with me very well so far..Theyve asked for receipts for everything or a link to a webpage with the item and price.

Don't let them screw you over, fight for what you can get. Don't make up a story about what happened, they have people there whose job it is to evaluate what happened. If they catch you lying, you probably won't get anything. Insurance fraud, etc.

the only thing in that picture i'm missing is my jacket. its in a little shelter parking area right after i first got it, gf wanted a picture of my new investment.
so, do you plan to get another bike then?
Nope don't want another bike until next summer. I'm getting a Chevy Cavalier from some old grandma. My big brother is giving me his Ducati next summer.
I'm not going to be putting the car in my name as I will be an occasional driver.
Quote from: Skeets on July 29, 2009, 04:58:10 PM

wow. Good luck with the insurance on that. I think you should have stuck with the little pink one. You better at least put some frame sliders on that thing so when you go throwin it around it will only hurt you so bad. Can't say the training wheels would be a bad idea either . . . . .
As I said, the insurance isn't going in my name. :cheers: :cheers:
good luck with that. insurance company isn't going to want to pay that out at all, especially considering your recent accident.
I've only ever had one accident that was claimed on my insurance.
if YOU don't have insurance, how do you expect to ride? you'll have to be covered regardless unless you plan on riding with no insurance/illegally??? even if your dad insures the bike in his name, he'd have to spend the exta $$ to cover you as a rider on it as well. (or whoever insures the bike)
bottom line is you're not getting out of paying for insurance for yourself on any bike you ride - insurance companies aren't stupid. and they have attorneys on retainer that doing nothing but make sure people like yourselves do not pull one over on them. you're not going to outsmart them - sorry.
I don't know but my dad called his insurance company about a car were about to purchase. He's going to buy the car in his name and get insurance for it. I don't live with him and I'm only going to be an occasional driver. They OK'd this and agreed as long as you don't live in the household it's fine.
GF.
well, if thats the line you're taking, if the person that you are involved in the accident with wants to sue then they can sue YOU individually since you don't have insurance and then you are SOL. you'll be paying those medical bills off forever. like I said good luck.
They can sue me I'm 17.
If you own a car you're allowed to give other people permission to drive it, and it still be covered under your insurance. Skeets is right. It all depends on how often he's planning on driving it. I'm sure the insurance company has small print that says an occasional driver is only allowed to drive the car so many times a month or something like that, but still. I don't know that motorcycles work that way though.

I've been trying to explain this in the last couple posts. But yeah, an occasional driver (according to the agent) is someone who doesn't reside in your household, and uses the vehicle less than 3 times a week.
Well, I won't be needing the car throughout the week luckily. Only on the weekends.
i'm sure there is a clause. example:
when my wife and i first got together, i did not have a car, thus, no car insurance. i was not allowed to drive my mother-in-laws car(even occassionally) because i'm a male and at the time, under the age of 25. her insurance company had a clause stating that no male drivers under the age of 25 were allowed. meaning that if i did drive the car, and was in an accident, no matter who was technically at fault, i would be considered at fault because i would have been an "illegal driver." i'm sure it varies between insurance companies. and i wouldn't be so sure about not being able to be sued because you're under 18...even if they can't technically sue you, i'm sure they could sue your guardian.
carinsurance.com states the the rule of thumb is that you drive it no more than once a week, but that is with a car. i wouldn't be surprised if that did not exist with motorcycles considering their higher rate of fatalities.
when i took my demo ride a few weeks ago, they required us to not only have our endorsement, but insurance as well. (they told me auto insurance was fine, as long as it was "insurance") however, i'm sure there are special circumstances surrounding demo rides.
I'm talking with Henrys Insurance...I'm just relaying what I was told. In any case they can't prove how many times you drive the car unless they stalk you..which then :police: :police: :police:.
Can anyone answer a question for me?

So they give you market value for your bike and not kbb? How much would a 2007 gs500f be with $300 in mods. I was thinking they'd give me about $2500 for it.
I'm just trying to figure out if they'll total it. The whole right side needs replacement, and left side was messed up. Engine covers are off, and handlebars are bent. Blinker broken, Front cowl broken.
Forks and frame looked fine though.
they don't care about mods or kbb
Well, Skeets Progressive told me that I had to list anyone that drives my car and bike at all! I.E my best friend who will occasionally picks up my bike and take it to his house when I'm sick. Also a good lawyer can put two and two together and if he ever finds this thread and you are in a car accident well have fun never being able to establish credit to begin with and forget retirement because you will be paying someone else's bills for the rest of your life! Being that you've already told us your real name is Skeet how many could their possibly be in the U.S uhm 1,535 then wittle that down how many on bikes, how many in your state, city. That only took me all of .0003 seconds to find out how many in the U.S. Now Imagine what a shark I uhm mean money hungry lawyer will do!
BTW how fast was that infinity going to make you fly spread eagle in the air and then slide what 40ft under an Escalade? How bout some pics of the knee?
Also, do you manicure your nails they look better than mine and I'm a girl. Maybe you should be the one in the kitchen! :thumb:

Nvm! They totalled my bike. I'm getting $3750 for it.

Not only that, but it sideswiped him and made him fly spread eagle.
Like I said, things don't really add up.
might be a little late in this post but when i was shopping for insurance for my bike any policy i could get included $1000 coverage for any aftermarket mods or parts on the bike.

I weigh 120lbs buddy. I flew off the bike.
And to the other person, Progressive is covering all my mods and all my gear!!! Total of $800.
$3750 for my bike and gear - 500 deduc= $3250
All insurance companies are different. You can get cheaper coverage if you tell them that no one else will be driving your car, but plenty still let you. I don't think it exists for bikes but Skeets was talking a car, and not a bike.
It really doesn't matter what angle a car hits you from, if a car hits a bike, you're gonna get tossed.
yeah, no shaZam!, they will pay you for mods if you have that rider, but if you just have the regular insurance they don't.

I've weighed in at 130 before, it still doesn't add up.
You know why it doesn't? Because so far you've basically admitted that the only reason you have a motorcycle is because you think it makes you look cool. You don't exude any sort of maturity or solid reasoning skills. No, quite the contrary, you act childish and bullheaded. When you said you were getting another bike, look at all the criticism you received. How did you respond? In the same way as is expected of you, immaturely and stubbornly. You act like you know everything about everything, and it's plainly obvious that you don't.
It's also obvious that you're trying to impress people, be it here or in real life, or perhaps just trying to impress yourself. It's pretty obvious to the rest of us that you're not one who can admit fault very easily, especially when you're trying to look "cool". Not only that, but based on all the responses you've received in this thread, I am fairly certain you're not the type of person who would be able to say, "Yeah, you guys were right, I should spend more time on the GS." if you did crash. I would not be surprised at all if you made up a story to try and cover yourself so you wouldn't be embarrassed about crashing the bike. Rather than manning up and admitting fault, you skirt around the issues and attempt to divert the negative attention away from you.
Whether or not you lie to the insurance company is not an issue for me, that's your responsibility. However, based on what we know of you so far, the way you approach things, and how you react to things, it seems to me like you aren't that responsible of a person.

I said I use my bike as a tool? Didn't I? Just because I look cool?? If I wanted to look cool I wouldn't have bought a gs500f? You need to rethink that...If I wanted to look cool I would wear one of those skull cap helmets and a wife beater when its 100 out wouldn't I?
I responded immaturely and stubbornly? I'm 17 maybe you should just stop responding to me and you won't get an immature response.
"You act like you know everything about everything, and it's plainly obvious that you don't." But I ask for advice throughout this thread....LOL.
I admitted 3 times I've dropped the bike...I'm not embarrassed. If I would have crashed my bike by myself I would have said so. I'm not embarrassed of making a mistake. It's life. We all make mistakes and learn from them.
One thing you need to learn is to read threads before you post. Thanks.
Ok, so now we can all move on then. He will get another bike and has no reason to stay around and defend himself. He can now leech onto another forum and get the same treatment. Let it go people, he will weed himself out.

I completely agree with the above statement. Remember the accident is going to be on your driving record and raise your insurance from anywhere from 3 years to as long as maybe even 7 years. So it is likely that in big picture you will be spending most of that money they settle with over the next few years on insurance. I was in an accident in my first truck when I was your age and it came off not too long ago.
You say you are going to have the Ducati and insure it under someone elses name and just ride it anyways. That doesn't sound like the responsible thing to be doing, with a car it is a little different than with a bike. You are definitely much more prone to getting in an accident or being injured on the motorcycle (as you should know already). A lot of times it might not even be something you can avoid no matter how hard you try. And if something happens, they will be all over you. You are 17 that doesn't give you any immunity to being sued, or that certain rules/laws do not apply to you. Especially since you will be 18 probably when you have your new bike. You said it is going to be several months to even a year away since you said you won't be getting it for the winter if I recall correctly. A lot of things can change in your lifestyle from now until then. You may not be living in the same place, you should be thinking about college at your age as well, which let me tell you is NOT by any means cheap. You don't seem to be taking peoples advice too seriously from here. I think what people are doing here is trying to help you open your eyes and think a little more clearly. We are just trying to help you be better prepared, since many of us have been in similar situations. I don't know what its going to take for you to see it for yourself, maybe another accident? I certainly hope it doesn't take that I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Just whatever you end up doing, please think it over, and then think it over again. Your life and future isn't something you want to gamble with because you wanted to look COOL on a nice motorcycle.
On a side note, other than tracking a bike, I don't see the necessity for anything that can go over any posted speed limit with a simple flick of the wrist in 2nd. Maybe that is just me?

Top gear roll ons, available power for when you need it, being able to accelerate when you want to. It takes maturity and skill to control that power, but can be quite handy when you know how to use it.

Those are all nice things and I completely agree that with maturity and skill it would be good things to have, but clearly not a necessity. A GS has fine power to ride the streets and with proper skills enough acceleration/handling to be able to stay safe even on the highway. On that note, I guess it would be a lie to say I don't want that power eventually. But right now, 3000 miles in? No thanks, I like my GS too much right now :D. I would like to say I am speaking for some other people too, but *sigh* not really.

Just hit the rider and you don't have to tailgate.
kid, you are a douchebag. the fact that you're bragging about a mustang is proof of that. no offense to anyone that has one, but mustangs are not "impressive"cars. get a lambo, ferrari, bentley, etc if you want that kinda reaction.

Although i do have a soft spot for fox body mustangs.
Can someone please add some chlorine to the gene pool :whisper: Also, if you break your policy the ignorant card will not work. That's why they send or e-mail you a copy of the documents it is your job to know the policy I can assure you they do.

Glad you didn't break a nail and I'm done with this epic fail.

I am not attacking other members in every thread possible unlike a certain member that shall remain nameless. The dweeb even went as far as putting a "Don't be a squid" link in his signature area. Kinda lame 'cause the link didn't even work.
