I'm a new rider and I've been really having a lot of fun with this lately.
I picked up this motorcycle earlier this winter for real cheap. It was surplussed from the state of MN motorcycle training program and was used as a trainer for many years (it's a 2001 Suzuki GZ250) Yes, it was dumped a number of times so there are many dings and dents and scratches but it's still basically sound. I had to replace and few parts, the fender extension was shattered and the rear blinkers were broken off. I'm not much of a mechanic but it's been a fun learning experience, and there are plenty of other things that I'll need to replace so I should get to know this bike pretty well. It's not real big, but it's perfect for a newbie like me and I've been having a blast cruising around town lately. Besides, what good is a midlife crisis if you can't get a shiny red motorcycle out of the deal???
Anyone else here a new rider? Any advice from the more experienced amongst you? How about some pictures of whatever it is you're riding these days?
