I got my motorcycle license a few weeks ago. Now I’ve got a bike! My buddy Ian let me take this sweet little Suzuki GS500 off his hands. With a new carb and a little bit of work its running pretty well, and I’ve been zipping around town on it!

I must say that I’m addicted to riding it! Since Jon and I got it working, I haven’t started my car : )

I plan to do a bit more engine work and make some cosmetic upgrades too. If there are any other new GS owners out there, make sure to check out these sites for lots of good info:

• GS Twin (The guys on the forum here helped me out a lot)
• GS500 Wiki
• GS Resource

Any other riders in ATL who want to meet up? Let me know!

Last weekend, I spent all day Saturday and Sunday learning how to ride a motorcycle! I went to the American Honda Driver Education Center where they provide bikes, helmets, and instruction. I got to ride a sweet little Honda, and I must say: I’m pretty hooked on the feeling.

We practiced everything from fast turns to hard stops to the basics of shifting and driving. All that’s left to do is ride (on my bicycle) down to the DMV, get a little ‘M’ on my license, and of course… buy a motorcycle! Anybody have a nice one for sale?
