Tristan here:

One spanky new one in Hornsby, NSW.  Only 150 kms and a new rider to two wheels.
A great bike that is being run in at present. A virgin on two wheels with new bike gears, so new they havn't lost that new smell.

ok I like that idea mate for a  Australian National GS 500 Register here so I have been think how to do it I have start but I wonder do we start from when we first start or only now from what do you guys think? I don't mine looking back .

all the best matt:) your friend

Safe Riding

 
     DID SOMEONE FART?



           Or did the cyclones blow all the gs500,s off the bloody map?
           
                  HELLO......lo....lo...lo...hears echo.

Yeah I've been thinking the same, that it's been bloody quiet in here. Maybe when they packed their bikes away for winter they also packed their computers away too.

So is anyone going to riding through winter?

I was just going to leave the bike for weekend rides & drive the car to work, but have been riding the bike the last few weeks. Temperatures have been around 0 most mornings so I've had the thermals on, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. 

No plans to pack the bike away here. Had a good ride on Monday with my mate Tim who owns the blue 05f. We went from here through Yeoval on our way to Wellington (before heading into Wellington we turned off to ride through mt Arthur, 6.7kms of twisty stuff x both ways) then from Wello out to Burrandong dam across the dam wall and through some of the twisty stuff there. Then back to Wello and onto Guerie via Mt Arthur then back to good ol' Dubbo. There was a bit of fog around at 8am when we left but that lifted after about 1/2 an hr. It was a bit chilly but i think putting the liner back in my jacket will fix that, Gloves did a top job. And i can't wait till my pants finally arrive, hopefully by next monday when we plan our next run.

  Good to see you blokes are still alive!

             No plans to stow the bike for winter,but down here you have to pick your days.
                 looking good this morning! think i better check the mountain when the jew dries.
               
                ps.  seen any new gs.riders around?




                                       DING.

I saw another blue 05f in a BP about a month ago when i was fuelling up, i had a quick chat to the bloke riding it, i haven't seen him around since. And my girlfriend saw another Black 05f on tuesday, she thought it was me and waved until she noticed the rider had a different helmet and jacket.
I don't know where they all come from or where they go but they are bloody everywhere here.

I've seen a blue F model around town, just haven't had a chance to catch up with the rider.

At my P's test in Campbelltown there was a girl with a yellow 2004 GS500f.

I have been slack in visiting lately and riding, had the flu and tyres are worn out its been cold, god I must be getting old but hopefully Ill be out in another week or two with any luck.

Most of my riding lately has been to/from TAFE, rest of the week I'm a lazy sod so not much riding.

            Went for a ride the other day up the coast , around 200km round trip spotted a blue F

            going pretty quick [female i think?] Had a look at the 06 HYOSUNG 650 GTR silver; it looks

            shithot! very comfy to sit on but no demo. at 9k$ it seems like a good thing ! Id like to see

           how reliable they are i rekon id buy one

DINGO,

what day did you come up , & was it by the coast?

all the best matt:) your friend

        MATT

               didnt go your way , or were you at Tathra some time? havnt ridden since to wet &cold.

                         next time

                                        DING

I've been leaving the bike at home & driving to work lately. Maybe I'm getting soft but riding -4 temps just don't appeal to me. I will be going for a ride Saturday and hopefully cover around 500k's.

I had a look through the Motor Racing Museum on the weekend & it's pretty good. They still have the Hansford display there, theres 5 bikes that he's ridden, plus a lot of info about him. They have a few bikes there now, along with a fair bit of bike memorabillia. So if you guys get a chance, go & have a look
