Well.... I s'pose I should make it Official. Just in case someone comes here 1st before elsewhere and seeing I'm in Oz...

I am in Brisbane (Ipswich - but don't hold that against me). If'n you want to get together for a bit of a ride - I rode most weekends - send me a PM.

+1 in Melbourne.

Although I've been riding sporadically for a few years now, I only recently bought a GS500 and started to ride regularly so I'm definitely a beginner. If there are other folks in Melbourne I'd love to go for a ride/have a drink and leech off your expertise 

Another happy gs rider in wollongong Nsw

Wow! a bloke dissapears for a year and when he come s back theres thousands of new Gs riders on Line..... good stuff!! [Time for a Gs meet???]

It's good to see a bike getting ridden. 

I'm at 20,500-ish in less than a year. That'll be over 21,000km by the end of the week. So you could say I ride a Lot.

It amazes me to see bikes for sale that are a few years old with only 5,000kms on them. No matter the brand.

I love riding the GS was hard to get me off it for a while.. i put about 25,000 on it over the first 18 months.. haven't ridden much since i moved down here and my son was born, but that's a good excuse..
Will have to give it a wash and start riding again soon..

Another new member from currently living in Western Sydney. Riding an 07 GS500F which now has 32000 on the clock, bought it at 8000 around 18 months ago. Ride everyday, and love every minute of it (even if most of the time it is just up and down the M4 in peak hour haha).

I dropped the bike in gravel in the Snowy Mts a couple of months after buying it but it just gave me the excuse to paint the bike all black and I have since added a custom sticker set.  

Only other mods to speak of have been swapping to Dunlop Arrowmax tyres front and rear and adding iridium plugs. With time and money willing the list will increase  

one here in vic
