A chip off the old block...


Recommended Posts

I admit I was a little proud when my son asked me to ride with him this morning so I could ride back the new toy he purchased. He'd never ridden a bike before.

Mama ain't happy. His girlfriend ain't happy, but I'm tickled we share a common interest.

It's an 04 Suzuki GS500F. Very low miles, and runs and rides great. A perfect starter bike in my opinion.

Now if I can talk mama into us getting a bike, I know where there's a sweet HD Night Train!

Since he's gone to the Atlanta Braves game in my car today, I see it as only fair that I do a bit of "road testing" on his bike while he's gone. You know, just to be sure it'll be safe for him.:D

So far, so good on the "testing".

I really, REALLY miss riding a bike.

I have to admit I don't miss riding a bike as much as I thought I would till I got my first car and then all that peddeling up and down hills was just a fond memory and now even the thought of it now makes my legs ache........:up: Oh wait!!! wrong bike.............:wall:

Good for him. My first bike was a GS500 too, though it was a decade older.  If he hasn't taken the MSF course, I highly recommended it. Budget a decent amout of cash for gear.  Ride safe.

I agree. Two very nice matching helmets came with it. Pants, boots gloves, and a riding jacket are to follow.

Cool bike.  I miss riding my Gold Wing in Germany.  Whether it was flying low on the autobahns or cruising on mountain roads and through small villages, it was fun!  Almost killed myself a few times and probably would have succeeded if Id kept it and road it around here.
