Hah! I wish.

Nope, not me. Got that pic off the 'net. I'm afraid the old bod won't take that kind of abuse anymore.

I did have a funny comment in mind regarding what Wasions said, but I decided to keep it to myself.

Good choice.

Rubydee · 03-01-2004, 10:53 AM

Good morning everyone. My first time here but on my 3rd bike. I have the same concern with the exhaust sound as most people with the stock pipes. I'd like to have a bit more sound but nothing so deafening as some other bikes I've heard. I tried to debaffle mine but the exhaust sounded flat. Other than pipe replacement, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Welcome rubydee.

Hi Guys & Gals

I'm a 38 year old guy from Birmingham, England. I've been riding for about 10 years. My first serious bike was a Gpz 750, scary when the frame flexs underneath you when you pushed it hard. I'm on a Bandit 1200 at present, with the missus on a baby Blade (250cc). I also dispatched in 1999 for a 9 months on a Kwak GT500, which is an eye-opener. Doing your hobby as a job, soon takes the shine off it a bit, but you don't half learn quickly.
Thanks for being here.

Welcome to the group C
England looking good coming in to the summer??
Don't expect dispatch riding would be fun - all day, all weathers! Much better choosing the moment eh!

Tex · 03-28-2004, 12:52 PM

Hi! I've owned only Suzukis, since 1973. Glad to see this forum.

**Louis** · 03-28-2004, 03:19 PM

Welcome Tex, what's your current bike?

Tex · 03-28-2004, 08:56 PM

Still running the 1991 GSX-G 1100, but thinking hard about trading it in on a V-Strom 650.

My list of bikes:
1974 TC90 (had dual range transmission)
1975 GT380 (great bike!)
1976 RM250
1978 GS1000
1979 TS250
1980 GS 450
1982 GS650L
1986 Madura 1200 (wonderful engine)

not 100% sure about the years but something along those lines.

TINMANSGLOCK40 · 03-28-2004, 08:59 PM

hi there !! just back in the saddle !! good to be back

what can i say , adrenaline junky .. love too ride and dive

happy riding

crayonjota · 04-08-2004, 07:44 AM

Perhaps I should have put my first post here!

Ok, so I am onto my first real bike, and as usual, in at the deep end with a GS1000E.

I love this thing. I makes my van, even the race car I turn spanners on seem lame. Once I learn how to stuff it into corners and make it stop I will be king.

New Suzuki owner here!!! My 15th or 16th bike is also my FIRST Suzuki

A 2004 RM250 which is a GREAT bike so far.
I live in Ontario California and have been riding since I was nine. I'll be 46 in September. I currently have in my garage a 2004 Yamaha TTR125L electric start (15 year old daughters bike) a 1976 Honda CR 125 ( my first race bike, AKA the money pit) And my new baby the RM. It's cool to look out there & see all those colors. Red & blue & yellow, AAHHH I love bikes

Justpassinthru · 05-10-2004, 07:14 PM

Hi everybody. I'm new to the board. Great forum, by the way! I ride an '04 Marauder 1600. It's a great bike. The only thing I'm having difficulty with is finding aftermarket doodads. I guess that's the price to pay by being a trailblazer. I'm looking forward to many discussions and story swapping.

**Uncle Bob** · 05-11-2004, 07:55 AM

Aftermarket will take a while to catch up but may accesories for the Kawasaki Meanstreak should fit , it's basically the same bike.

Hoomgar · 06-03-2004, 10:01 AM

I introduced myself in the main topic area. Didn't realize to do it in here.
