First time Rider and Owner

dvsDave · 05-07-2011, 08:35 PM

Just completed a MSF course (offered by Apex Cycle Education, great instructors!) and just bought my first bike today!

2000 GZ250, has about 13k on it, was well-loved by previous owner. Can't wait to get it registered and insured so I can get out and ride!

(btw, the camaro is my neighbor's, not mine :sad: )

Thanks much!

I'll actually be up in your neck of the woods tomorrow. (Unfortunately, won't be taking the bike) whole family is meeting up with in-laws and then going over to the sheep and wool festival at the fairgrounds. (it's what my wife wants to do for Mother's Day.... as long as I get some fresh lamb kebabs, I'm good :2tup: )

Oh the fairgrounds are only a couple miles from my house, and I have been to the sheep & wool festival several times. It's really nice. We may go there as well tomorrow, don't know yet.

You could also try the lamburgers. :yummy:

mmmm...

Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white and pasty,
But made into the Sunday roast,
It was extremely tasty.

Bike looks nice. Have fun.

Good looking bike. I have always liked the older bikes with the pin stripping to add a little class.

Welcome aboard from South Carolina. Ride safe.

Alright, Bike is Insured, now off to the dreaded DMV to register it.

Did the previous owner remove the licence plate? or do you have to get a new one for each new owner? Where I come from, the plates go through life with the vehicle.
