AC2B Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hello All,I just started riding this season. Took the MSF BRC course back in may and have been riding my '94 GS500 since then. I've been learning a ton and have put just about 2000 miles on so far with no intention of slowing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Good choice of bike for a newbie.Probably fast enough to outrun most of the flamers in Lakewood anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC2B Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Good choice of bike for a newbie.Probably fast enough to outrun most of the flamers in Lakewood anyway. Thanks. I liked the bike when I got it and figured it would be a good learning tool. I've since replaced the front fork springs with sonic springs .95 kg/mm straight rates and 10/15 wt fork oil and swapped the rear shock with one from a kat 600. Wow, totally different bike. And yes, I would imagine it could function as a more than suitable flamer getaway vehicle Edited September 10, 2011 by AC2B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC2B Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I love the jeep in the back too. 4dr wrangler will be my next car.That's Annie! I've had her for just about 2 years. Love it. It's a great vehicle for NE Ohio. Awesome in the snow and fun to take around topless during the summer:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC2B Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I don't have anything on the books for that weekend so I'm 95% certain I'll make it. Definitely a little apprehensive as that will be, by far, the most miles I've done in a day, but looking forward to it nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester3681 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Welcome - had a GS and loved it - outgrew it, but it was a great bike. Very good to commute. Still kick myself for not taking the test when I had it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC2B Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Welcome! As said.... a Great choice for a first bike!Thanks! Now that I've got the suspension more to my liking, I've been toying with the idea of taking it to the track next season. I was going to wait until I got a newer bike that is built with track use in mind, but taking my GS might be good for the first couple outings. Has anyone taken a bike like mine (250r, GS500, EX500 etc) to the track? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
