Evening all, I'm Rob from Somerset, England.
Just picked up my new child yesterday, Blue GS500F 2004 k4.
Back into biking again after a 18 year break due to kids, and as my youngest has just got his first bike, it's only right that i now go out on father/son rides together!!!   

 Irish 41  love the site very useful    ..... making it up as i go along

Brand new female gs500f rider from the Bay Area, California. Just turned 32 and finished the ncmt course 2 weeks ago. Been riding as a passenger for about 2 years, and wanted to do more.

Anyone in my area interested in doing some mentoring, please let me know!

Hi guys and girls, new member from Wollongong here.
I picked up an '06 model online for $500. It has been down on the right side and busted a few bits, but for $150 I gathered all the pieces I needed and got it running. The engine sounds good but I didn't ride it before I started pulling it apart for some devious modifications. Nothing that hasn't been done before, I'm planning to fit longer suspension and use it for a bit of off road exploring and probably fit it with a sidecar at some stage.

hello i do believe i have finally got to post on this forum.....

now why the verification questions and how long do i have to put up with them?

Now......
I am Dave and own a GS 500 K7 2008 with currently 13000 miles on it.
I live in the UK but this forum seems to think i am in the USA i dont know why except every computer site assumes you are from the USA even if you log on to a .co.uk web site....this one links clearly to the .com site...... even so....
anyway hi and thanks for the add.....

Hello to all! I'm Sean. I live in North Carolina. I bought my first bike, a 2011 a year and a half ago. LOVE LOVE LOVE the thing. I got a good price from a really cool guy who was moving back to France. I've put just under 9K on it this year. I ride whenever possible.  My longest ride is 100 miles one way and about 100 miles back several days later. Interested in doing some longer rides. 

The board has already been a big help to me. Thanks.

I cant seem to be able to delete this entry so I will have to do it again. Sorry about this. My information is now 3 posts further down. Bob

Hi,

I am Lauri from UK near Oxford. Have 1992 GS500E Slingshot. Bought it in October 2017, had 75 000 miles on it. Still in very much getting familiar with the bike and its character. Taken it out now a few times and really enjoyed it.

39 years old Physicist working with laser and applications research and development.
15 years of riding 24/7...
Have downgrade my motorcycle cc with an GS to learn mechanics and to learn track riding.
My gs is a 2004 with lot of issues that are teaching me how a motorcycle really looks inside and how it works.
My idea to my bike is to make it a track rat... that I can also use in daily routines.
I am from São Paulo, Brazil.
Is an honor to be part of the GS twins site.

cheers

penguin7316 I live on the island of Tasmania which is a state of Australia. I have bought a 2006 GS500 Suzuki motorcycle. Over the years I have owned several motorcycles. I traded a Royal Enfield single cylinder 350 in on the GS. The Royal Enfield was made in India and was a very poorly constructed motorcycle. Do not ever buy one of these. I am happy with the GS500 and it looks like it will be a good reliable motorcycle. It is nice to have electric start as the Royal Enfield was kick start only and at 65 years old I can do with out having to kick start a motorcycle. The only problem that I have is the foot pegs. I may have to buy some different ones so I can move them further down and towards the front only by 2 inches so my old arthritic legs and feet are in a more comfortable position. How they are now means that my legs are bent back and this gets very uncomfortable after about 15 minutes of riding. I am enjoying reading the forum entries. Bob

Mike. 26, working/living in So Cal. New to the group. Finished my postmodern cafe/scrambler build on my '05 ScrewsLooseSki gs500f.
Still need to do brakes and heavier fork oil.

Hello,

i am a new 1997 gs500e owner from Brisbane Australia. its got 67k kilometres (41k miles) on it unless it's ticked over. my plan is to work on it and rebuild it. although still runs pretty smoothly so far.

Hi Jim here, just got a GS which I am turning into a cafe racer. Have given myself two year to complete, I know quite long time but have another two bikes to keep on the road and of course ride. Sure I will be calling on you all for help and advise from time to time.

Howdy,
