Welcome Nate,

2000 GS500E
i just put on the buell rear turn signal lights (my relay needs a swap though methinks as the "your bulb is burned out blinky blinky really fast" thingamajigger comes on then i'm idling) and i bought the rear brake/tail bulb led conversion that someone posted here a few days ago (bright as hell and pretty too).

Welcome Bill.

Hi all, i am from the south east US and have roadracing experance with the GS 500. real good handling bikes and loved the classes i got to in. WERA and CCS were the groups i raced with. Glad to see this site for the small bike.I ve had the weight down to 325lbs and 45hp and 58ftlbs of torque. I gave 750 ducks and other bigger bikes a fit on the track and i was still running the stock bore. Hows the rest of you doing with the motors, and now i see that suzuki has started puting oil coolers on them . Wish i would of had one of those when i was racing.

Awesome bike, Torque.

Hi all GSers...

lots from the northern hemisphere I see! Well, I'm from Aus, where the water goes down the drain the other way - no really! Proud owner of an '06 GS500F and lovin' it. It's been over 20 years since I rode a motorbike - and even then it was ag bikes (farm bikes) and postie bikes through the bush. The GS is SUCH a great bike - and for me plenty powerful enough to both commute and tour on - especially with the fairing. Love this forum too...

Other bikes I own - a mountain bike and two road cycles - they've kept me sane all these years, but its time for more horsepower. After tooling around with only 1/4 horses (my legs), 50 feel like a rocket! Other gear - a kayak, racing canoe, touring canoe, waveski, and 4WD - the last one drinks about five times the petrol per km compared to my GS!

cheers

G'day

Welcome fellow aussie!  What city are you in?

Hi Steve - thanks for the welcome

Hi Roslyn - I live in Epping in Sydney - are you also in Sydney? I've only had my GS for a few weeks and can't get enough time on it - every excuse I can get!

I've started to explore the north - Wisemans, Windsor, etc and am planning a jaunt out through Mangrove Mountain, maybe up Bumble Hill too. The last time I did this was under pedal power - it's one helluvu hill that way!

Yes also in Sydney (Northern Beaches). Bought my 2003 GS in December last year. It is my first bike - just got my bike license in March. I love it! My husband has a BMW F800 and we too have been exploring the area around the old pacific highway. He has had bikes for years, but is only just getting back into it after about 10 years without a bike. We have a done a couple of nice runs up through Hornsby, through Galston Gorge ( a bit scary for me the first time with all the hairpin bends) through Arcadia to Berowra Waters ferry and back through Hornsby. And also the same way except on to Wisemans Ferry after Galston Gorge and back on the Old Pacific Highway to The Pie In The Sky for lunch.  We are trying to remember all the places we used to go before when I was a pillion. We would like to do the run down through the Royal National Park to Stanwell Tops, but we need a whole day for that and its hard to find a free weekend. Our goal is to travel to the US in about 4 years time and ride down the west coast.  I have a lot of riding to do before then and a few longer trips locally to prepare.

Anyway I love my GS even though I don't have a lot to compare it to!
