Hoo, my Harley friends are gonna be derisive!
Well howdy from southern WV. I sold a hopped up sporty Monday,was going to quit riding because of being a 68 year old idiot (too old for triple digit speeds, but dimmit I couldn't take that kid on that green crotch rocket pulling up beside me and blippin the throttle, so I gave him one heckuva surprise, he passed me, but he had a bit of a time catching me to pass, triple digits!)...then I took a short trip to pick up a garden tractor and there was this cute little silver gray bike sitting beside the road with a for sale sign...so, I tells myself, self, you could ride that thing safely, may as well just shake your head and grin when the crotch rockets scream by....so I bought this little GZ 250 with a gutted muffler. Am I crazy? Oh yes, not even debatable...I have had 4 HD sportsters and a FatBoy in the last two years, and now I only have a GZ 250. Now to find a muffler!

Never too old to ride, never too old to enjoy yourself.
Damn whipper snappers with them scootie bikes... Welcome to the forum. I hope you find happiness with your lil GZ250.

Good for you.
I got a long way to go, as I am only 66.

Does that mean I'm the baby at 65?

Re: Hoo, my Harley friends are gonna be derisive!
Welcome from the GWN. The sporty must have been a rush to wind up but now you can just ride along and enjoy the GZ for what it is. It isn't real fast or powerful but it is reliable as a rock and pretty comfy for longer rides too. Plus you will really like the mpg.

Welcome to the forum. I know this about the GZ but I am curious. What about the garden tractor? What is it? I am into vintage garden tractors.

A snow blower is the evil twin of a riding lawn mower.
