Good afternoon everyone,

Just wanted to start off by saying "Thank You" for all the sage advice and great posts people put on these boards. I am glad I ran across this place before I purchased my first bike. I have really enjoyed all that I have learned from here and will carry that knowledge for a lifetime of riding safely.

Now on to the really good stuff. I just purchased my first bike yesterday..whoot!!!

I just did my first ride around the block a few minutes ago and it was a blast. It has been about a month since my wife and I took the MSF course and I have been on pins and needles trying to find a bike that I wanted at a price I wanted. Finally the other day, I saw a 2005 Suzuki GS500F for a great price in the paper and made the final purchase yesterday evening.

Cant wait to get out there and start getting some miles on this thing.

Ride Safe,
Crio / Mike

Another happy customer!

That's a nice looking bike Crio. Hope all goes well in your venture into riding. A lot of people from this board has enlightened me to all kinds of things of motorcycling and non motorcycling nature.

Beautiful bike, Crio...I was looking at a GS500 for a possible next bike (fyi, I got my first bike 4 weeks ago and just learned to ride 2 weeks ago, lol). Congrats!
