Title: New here
Post by: soccerspawn on January 09, 2013, 08:16:54 PM
Hey guys,
I've been wanting a bike since I was about 19 (ten years ago) but knew myself well enough to know I wouldn't do it safely so I didn't pull the trigger.  I spoke to a veteran motorcycle repair man and rider about a good first bike and here I am.  See below my first bike, I'm going naked as that's the way I like it ;)  and I got a great deal on the bike as the fairings were pretty scratched up.  Just waiting on ordered headlight bracket and mirrors.  My nephew likes it.  Going to my safety course in March and won't be riding it much if at all til then.

Pretty excited to get going.

One suggestion is to put where you are from in your Forum Profile.

Then when you have problems, need something, or whatever a GS Twinner can be found nearby.

It's already saved me once here in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Thanks guys, the fairings were a little damaged and didn't get any better when I took them off  >:(
I'm going to use the F headlight and see how that goes, just got the brackets and mirrors in the mail today.  Will do more pics when they are on.  I'm in Victoria BC Canada and will try to got that on my profile, thanks for the tip.
