Post by: stephan on January 20, 2004, 08:01:03 AM
Just want to let everyone know I'm now a happy owner of a 1990 GS500!!  I'm very happy this site is available, it has given me a lot of info on GS500s and helped in my decision to buy one!

See you on the road . . . . . . . . . if it ever thaws here in Michigan  :mrgreen:

I live in Clio MI, which is about 20 minutes north of Flint, which is about 1 hour northwest of Detroit.

If I had to guess I'd say I'm a good 2 - 2.5 hours from you including the trip across the bridge/tunnel.

Stephan,

:lol: I'm originally from Montrose! :lol:

Congrats on the bike, though. Take this time to do the maintaince stuff, change the oil, such like that. As long as you have a garage that is, and hopefully some sorta heater.  :thumb:

Hey, tell you what. There are some pretty ok twisties down McKinley road just north of M-57. Not a lot, mind you, since it's pretty flat around there, but not too bad. Might be kinda fun to take the bike up there when it thaws a bit. I used to take my parent's subaru up there when they weren't paying attention.  :mrgreen:
