Meet n greet in person (Sydney)
Hi all you Sydney lurkers - we're trying to get a meet ride going north of Sydney; half a day; in the next few weeks. If you would like to come along, reply to the "Sydney ride..." post in this forum.

hey everyone

Bought a 2004 blue/white gs500f about a month ago. Its been a great first bike (got my L's the same day i picked up my bike). Ride just about whenever i can find an excuse to do so. Between work, uni and going out, finding time for the longer rides is pretty tough. Looking to get a few decent trips in though leading up to the summer as im hoping to travel from Sydney to cairns this Christmas holidays. Seen quite a few gs500f's in the last week or so around sydney. Although they  tend to lane split passed me before i can say hi ..thats wat u get for living in the city i guess.

If anyone in the sydney area wants to go for a ride just pm me. Been going down to royal national park a fair bit recently.

Hi,

I bought my black naked GS500 in April this year after a brief period on a CB250.

I ride every day to work on it and tend to go out on weekends down the Old Pacific Highway to Road Warriors or up to Kulnura or Wollombi.

Anyway, if anyone fancies meeting up for a quick weekend blast let me know 

Cheers, Dave

P.S. I Live on the Central Coast near Terrigal/Avoca

G'day All,

I'm a newbie with a new Blue and White GS500F. I used to ride a bike illegally about 25 years ago when I was young and stupid. Now that I'm old and stupid, I decided it was about time to fully accept my mid life crisis.


Nice to meet you all.

Chris

Hi all,

Cheers,

Shane

Whittlesea , Melbourne , Vic

Welcome folks, good to see a few more GS's on the road. 

 Hey Guys n Gals,

Add another GS500F to the roads of Melbourne Purchased brand new from Peter Stevens in Ringwood. Great assistance and support ! Very professional service from all staff, and store is very well stocked with anything you would ever need.

Delivered to my door on 1st Oct, ridden for the first time on 3rd (Melb weather.. gotta love it !).. in just over 1 week, lots of riding around metropolitan Melbourne, with 460km ticking over on a blank odometer !

Go GS500F ! Absolutely LOVE riding this bike (yep, my first, though have ridden 750cc cruisers and smaller capacity bikes previously)...the GS500F is beautiful around turns, nippy enough around Melbourne streets and looks impressive also (I got the Black/Silver 2008 model).

Anyone who goes riding regularly around Melbourne, please let me know and we can try to set up a ride sometime.

Happy, safe riding to all.

Bang one more on the list 

Black/Silver naked '08.  Picked her up about a fortnight ago and just ticked over 600kms whilst out your way this morning Madbones!

I was seven years off a bike, and have only had 250's in the past. The plan is to use the GS as a stepping stone to a bigger touring bike, but so far having a ball with it.

Nickers when I'm free on the weekends I'm up for rides, let me know if you plan anything.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi all

I got my 05 gs500f in 10/08 with 3500kms. I just got my L's.  7000kms later I have my P's. This site helped me decide on this bike after my original choice was too small (Suzuki across).

I think this is a great site and love reading all the posts.

Hi all

Name is Krissi, Northern Beaches area, doing my pre-L's Monday & Tuesday next week - extra motivation to pass? - Silver F 2007 with 3400 odd K's on it purchased 20/01/09 sitting outside my bedroom window all covered up.

Marc, SA.

2008 GS500F - brand honking new. Of course, after the fact I realised that I could have had an earlier model for significantly cheaper, but thems the breaks. Fantastic first bike, definitely going to keep it - even if I get a newer bike. =D
Already done just over 4000k's over the course of the last 3 months. Now I just need to get R-date and all will be well =)

Welcome all.

Krissi
  How did you do? You passed?


 

s4gs - got too sick to keep going half way through day 2 so they let me go home and slotted me into next available day 2 slot which is this Friday morning. Will be doing some "carpark catchup" with Dad tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday because he wants to make sure I am up to scratch and pass. Probably because he is sick of me whinging like a girl I haven't got my Ls yet 

Totally stoked because I passed! Finished the course, headed on down to the RTA and took the test on the spot 

First thing Dad said after congratulations was "Now don't go off when I'm not there and think you can ride your one out on the road on your own yet it's much more powerful than the 250s at the course so we start off somewhere quiet so you get to know your bike properly and safely." Actually hadn't thought much past passing my L's and I know Dad is part machine-part human so I know he is right and looking out for me so now just have to find a good day to go out for my first official ride with him 

Hey guys,
this is Paul from Sydney Parramatta, just got a brand new 2008 GS500F
Cheers and ride safe

I'm in Canberra. I have an Oct 2008 black/silver GS500F. Great bike for a learner - now on my P's. I've got a full exhaust, twin K&N's, rejetted, mirror extenders and Zero Gravity touring screen. Ride 52km every day as my commute, just racked up 6500 kms now.

I'm in Camden NSW, 05 F, new paint job ride back roads for good fun and try to stay out of heavy traffic
