    Thumbs up I found one!

    Finally found a bike!


    Suzuki GS500, went to look at it today and loved it! It has more power than I can use with my experience but I feel very safe and comfortable riding it.
    It is bought and paid for and I will be calling Bike Tranz tomorrow to sort out transport. (I don't feel confident enough to ride it home so thought this was a safer option)

    So, anyone out there who would like to give me a lesson or two to get me started on the right foot? Or the left foot...?
    Who am I? Why am I here?
    Forget the questions
    Somebody give me another beer!

    Nice. Good fit and a reasonable cost.


    Was never sure if they qualified as a goose, or if that was the 350...

    Smaller version of what you just bought.

    Yes. I'd heard the word used in the context of a twin and that single, but it looks like it only applies to the single. Be another good LAMS option too.

    Goose was a model ... not a term.

    Well done! Grats on a nice find. Dirt cheap for what it is! Keep it shiny side up and rubber side down
