Hi,
Just bought my bike last night.  It's an 01 GS500 with 3000 miles. 


Going to pick up a new helmet, jack, and boots on the way home.  And i'm taking the MSF course next weekend.
01 GS500.

such a pretty naked thing. Welcome to the board - I'm sure once everyone gets back from their noon rides they'll say hello!

Congrats on the bike. Be happy you were able to time a bike purchase so close to your MSF class. Many are not so lucky.  :thumb:

Welcome!
