Hello Everyone!!

I'm a 38 year old new rider and GS owner.  Waiting to take the training course.  I purchased a '92 GS500E over the weekend.  It's a little rough around the edges but runs pretty solid.  I know pretty much nothing about motorcycles but am willing to learn and will take advice from anyone.  I've been reading this forum and the wiki for about the last month.  That's a start, right??

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana and I'm a computer programmer by profession.  I'm married to an amazing woman, Julie.  We have 3 young children at home.

Feel free to ask questions or to hand over any advice...all will be taken .

Thanks for reading,

DLW

A bunch of us are running a few french fries short of a happy meal. )   but dont let that scare you off.  we're still good people. 

Hello and welcome, enjoy the course, they are pretty fun and really informative.

Welcome! soon you will become an adict to your gs500 !

Welcome !

Usually someone will bug a new member for .jpg's of their 'new' ride. No one has stepped up, ahem.

Keep the tires inflated, chain lubed and oil in it and the rest is easy cheese.

Welcome again to the cheap fun gs's provide.

What language do you prefer ?

welcome, enjoy your gs.  Just a suggestion- DON'T START MODIFYING YOUR GS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO, IT'S HARD TO STOP.

I'm behind in my duties....here we go:

Welcome!

Only take turns at the posted speed or less, until you know you can take the turn faster (in 5mph increments).

Check your engine oil level once a week after a ride.

Oh yeah, and look where you want to go.

Why are you looking over here??... My ride is over <----- there.  Thats the best I got right now.  Thanks everyone for the welcome.   Someone asked what language I perfer....ummm....English?...

DLW

Hey..was that there the whole time....nawww...you're messin' with me! 

Fortunately, GS is an international language.
