Hi everyone -

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Renee, I live in New York City and I bought a '91 GS500E about a month ago. It's my first bike and I got it for a steal on craigslist. I've been doing general maintenence on it over the past few weeks with my boyfriend's assistance (he's a VFR owner) and I'm loving learning about this bike. Every time I sit on it and start it up, it puts a smile on my face. Can't wait for this two feet of snow to melt and the days to click by so I can take it out. Many parking lot rides in my future, since I just took the MSF course this summer, but I'm looking forward to learning with this bike.

A quick hello. Ya'll look like an interesting bunch.

Welcome to the board!

We don't get alot a lady folk round these here parts.  Good to see another one that ain't afraid to ride up front.  Well, a certain amount of fear is suggested, if not required...it'll help keep the rubber side down.

welcome renee!

folks from the city don't talk like that, do they?  

Indeed we do! Remember that no one in New York is actually from New York.  

Welcome "add something wittty or amusing here yourself" etc. Hope you find this board as useful as I have.

Welcome!

Welcome Renee!  
You'll have a blast - I did last year, my first year riding a bike ever! The GS is the best IMHO to get started or just keep riding for years to come.
I feel your pain - waiting for the snow to GO!
Ride safe
