New to the forum --but--seasoned rider - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Shade_Tree__Mechanic · 05-10-2008, 11:14 PM

Hello all. I am new to this forum but, I am a seasoned rider. I have been a licensed rider since 1963. So--by doing some quick math you will discover that I am qualified to get a discount on a cup of coffee at Micky D's. I just want to say that I am glad to have discovered this forum and hope all of you have a smooth ride.

I own two bikes, one is a 2007 Suzuki C50. The other one is my main ride, a 1981 Suzuki GS850G. It was bought in 1982, still in the crate from the dealer. It has well over 165,000 miles with a complete engine overhaul at 91,000 miles and is still going strong.

Now you know a little about me and a little about my rides. I hope at some point in time I get to know some of you.
