Newbie saying hello!

Hi All! Just a quick shout out ... I'm new to riding, just got my license a couple weeks ago and my first bike is (obviously) the GZ250. My husband forwarded me the link to this site after fruitless Googling for information regarding installing GZ saddlebags. "You going to sign on to the forum?" he asked. "Oh no no, I don't do that kind of thing". Ha! Famous last words indeed! :-)

I'm looking forward to being part of this community, and thank you all in advance for helping me with aaaallllllll the questions I will no doubt post!

By the way, another poster asked the exact same questions I had about installing saddlebags ... all MY questions were thus answered, plus I love the banter. Good energy here.

Now this is person who has a good sense of diplomacy . . . banter . . . energy? A very generous interpretation, Tranquility, but welcome to the site. Good info and good people here, in spite of the occasional bouts of "energy".

Welcome Tranquility,

We'll see if we can get you to change your name to Whimpering Basketcase. :whistle:

Seriously though, there's a lot to be learned here. Enjoy your bike!

Re: Newbie saying hello!

I scanned through a few posts and have yet to come across the kind of "energy" you're implying, Keith! You mean I can expect to see some drama here? I love drama! As long as it's somebody else's. ;-)

Whimpering Basketcase: Funny!

Thanks again, I feel like family already!

We want to see pictures of your bike, just to make sure it's the same as ours. :biggrin:

Welcome Tranquility! I live about two and a half hours up the street from you... In fact, I am a District Sales Manager for a company that supplies equipment at the Kimberly Clark Plant in New Milford, CT so I am familiar with your home town. What year is your GZ? - Dave Bo

By the way, did you install your saddle bags yet? :??:

Yeah, because every once in a while, we flush out Honda Rebel riders looking for a sense of belonging, trying to pass themselves off as GZ riders. Bastards.

Moedad, I'll post a pic of my Hon~ I mean GZ on Monday. I have pix of her on my work computer ... which goes to show how much work I do at the office. ;-)

Dave Bo, I haven't installed my saddlebags yet, will get to it this week, definitely. It looks easy enough to do ... which means it'll take me hours, no doubt! My GZ is a newbie too: 2009.
