Hey everyone,
So Aluizio Moto's is sending me another fairing kit for my blue 2002 GS500. I am going to be riding down through your states in the next month and a half, and want to meet you all, so I can guage reaction to how the bike looks and intrest in it, so Aluizio can figure out if breaking into the US market is worth it. So let me know if you are intrested in going for a ride, and showing me some places in May. Ill be down there for about 2-3 weeks, and am going to need people to ride with!
Thanks a million!
Byron

/\---Excellent, Ill keep you posted about when Ill be down. I will send pics for sure in 3 weeks when my stuff gets here.
Im keeping all the bikes. I will have a GS, an SV and perhaps a Bandit 400 depending on if I like it when I see it up close. Damn, I need a bigger garage!

Let me know when you're in the Los Angeles area. We'll post a gstwin ride and do Malibu or Angeles Crest. We've done these 'formal' gstwin rides 2 or 3 times and each time theres usually been 6-12 riders. We'll post the ride info in Meet&Greet.

Give a date and we'll plan. Please makeit a sunday or I wont make it...of course by then I'll have a superhawk. :dunno:

btw-gs500 is for sale.

How far down are you planning on heading?  If you have the time I would recommend continuing down to La Paz, Mexico.  The Ruta 1 through Baja is a driving enthusiasts dream and best of all there are no highway police to ruin your fun.

Thanks everyone who replied. I will for sure keep you all updated about when I will be around your area. Ia ctually just got a summer job offer this morning near San Diego, so I may consider taking it depending on how much trouble getting my Working Visa renewed is. Perhaps Ill just work under the table so I can enjoy Cali Living for the summer.
Regardless, Im looking forward to you guys riding my GS with the body kit on it. I want to see what you think. I wish I was riding the SV down there, but I will have fun on the little GS. I think it might be high time for some bigger carbs, port and polish, and a couple other hot rod tricks before my trip. We will see though.
Cant wait to meet you all, and go riding! :cheers:
