Hi folks,
Recently acquired a 2006 GS500f. Say hi if you're in the area too!

im out in fullerton. hit me up if u need any help or for a ride.

Excellent! 
Found any interesting stretches to ride, that are closer than malibu?

Even really short bits are interesting to me at this point... everything is so freakin gridded around here

been mostly commuting but the best places ive been to so far are azusa canyon and of course the pch along the beachs. just got back from a nice trip out to parker dam and the road next to the river are fun and beautiful.

Parker dam! well that's.. a trip

Which beach stretches did you have in mind?
Are you just talking about "nice view"?

Mostly, seems like pch is fairly straight down here. (or inland!)
Not like northern california

I'm pretty squarely in long beach, btw. I just put "LA" in the subject, for more widespread name recognition :-}

azusa canyon was the best ride. pch just feels good haha. but if your in long beach your probly fairly use to it. ive been thinkin about another trip up azusa canyon or just heading out to big bear. mountain roads seem to be the best. especially in summer.

I'm in Santa Ana... Oracle, his buddy and I are probably getting together for a wrench sesh on Sunday in Fullerton. Come out!

I am new to riding, the GS500F, and the forum. I am in the Victorville area(high desert). I'd be down for meets and rides but I have to get the confidence to ride on the highway over the pass first!

Oooo, that's a ways!
Yeah, definitely take your time before getting on the freeway.

When you work up to it, definitely say howdy though

I am in Hollywood, I don't have a GS anymore, but lots of parts for sale if you guys need anything

I am up for any rides you guys do. I went up to Glendora Mountain Road on the weekend, probably hit Malibu and the Rock Store this weekend.

Here are some pics from the weekend..

No-hooooouuwww... I just bought a bunch stuff after my crash

unless you happen to still have fairings?

Oh hey your name is familiar, are you on any of the Meetup groups?

Im in Norwalk. I just recently got a 2004 GS500...freaking awesome girl, Adri Marie. Definitly hit me up. Gonna ride GMR in the morning..meeting with a group off the 210/Azusa at the Shell gas station. If not message anytime for planned rides ahead of time.

Hey everybody! I'm a new rider in Mission Viejo, CA. I just got admin approval for the forums today. I've had my GS500 for almost two months now, it's my daily ride. Before this bike, I had no wrenching experience at all, but with my Haynes manual and a few new tools I've taken on a lot of previously scary sounding jobs without a problem and I'm hungry for more.

My bike is ridable, but still has a few issues I'm working through. Seems like I'm spending a lot of time waiting for parts or tools to come in the mail, haha. Next up for me is a valve adjustment, then sync/tune/make happy the carbs, cause they're not happy right now. I may have a vacuum leak too, which had been hard for me to diagnose the conventional way with an engine that wont keep steady idle.

I'd love to meet some new motorcycle buddies to ride and wrench with. Oracle, kidsixteen, you guys are really close. Getting together soon?

Im looking to do a valve adjustment soon too. Maybe we can do two at the same time? 

we've been lagging on a socal meetup for a while now.

I have a place in Downtown LA and a few gs500s that always need working on. I'm way down for a wrench and ride day soon!

anybody wanna help swap my spare motor in so I can start my hot rod motor build on the old one?

I'm in the San Fernando valley currently! I work in Chatsworth live in Valencia area.

I'd like to go for a ride this weekend, hopefully.
People up for a medium intensity canyon ride or something?
I'm starting from the long beach area
I'm new to the good routes, so I'm not the best person to choose one. Ideally, it would be nice to have a route that is known to be usually "clean", rather than one prone to lots of rockfalls.

technically, the long beach motorcycle show is on this weekend. but I'd rather go RIDING bikes, than looking at them

We're heading back home this weekend plus my bike is in storage due to a theft attempt. But if you guys ever have a meet up ill definately swing by and chat! I am hoping to have a new living situation figured out by mid January (one with a garage or more secured parking) and I can bring my TL back. I miss her .

gonna be swapping mtotors in one of my GS's on Saturday and might go ride w/ Phil and some others on Sunday if anyone wants to join for either.

DRAT! probably cant make it tomorrow after all.
My bike is being held captive, by a broken garage door
