another newbie from Kansas City MO.

#1 Unread post by tim conroy »

Hi all! just came across this sight and thought I would give it a try.I have an 83 Suzuki GS 650 GL in mint condition. I paid 400 bucks for it and have another 600 into it.I ride it every day and it runs like a top! I also have a full vetter package and progressive suspension front and rear. In 2 years I have put close to 9000 mile on it.Image

That bike is a looker. I wouldn't have thought an '83 could be in such good shape. Nice work, and welcome.

Thanks guy's! I keep the bags off until I need them, and so I can show off my new progressive shocks I dont really like the trunk on there either but the fairing is nice.I dont care much for the wind in my face like I did when I was younger. It runs as good as it looks too!!! http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c30/tconroy/

That bike is really pretty, I would love to go riding with you sometime. I guess from the post you put in my newbie thread you live kinda close. And in answer to your question yes, I will be taking the MSF course at 40 and Noland, hopefully in the next month or so. Hope to see you around town. :D
