Title: New lady rider in Toronto, ON!
Post by: barkingsquirrel on August 29, 2014, 08:37:49 PM
Heya :) After years and years of talking about getting a motorcycle licence, I finally got one in April of this year!
I ride a black 1993 Suzuki GS500e... The only one I've seen around my area yet. But so excited to be on a forum for only GS bikes. I'm surrounded by Kawis in the group of riders I know.

I have quite a few biker friends, and am always looking for more people to ride/hang out with! See you guys around.

He has little to no mods, and was sitting on a farm for years before he came to me. He needs some TLC, but for the neglect, he's in fantastic shape.

welcome... I have a GS500F (fairings), I'm in Oshawa/Courtice and I've actually seen a few F's around and a couple of GS500E's including a girl rider.

I just started riding so I haven't made it as far as Toronto yet, but I'm in the Durham region area constantly.  O0

I guess this is why I need to view pics on my tablet and not my phone. I didn't notice the custom seat until I enlarged the pic. Thanks for that catch showbiz.
