Iowa Newbie
 

Hello All!

My name is Jeremy "Jer" for short.

I'm 35. Just got a 2002 GZ250.

Why? Some fun and commuting in these days of $4.00/gal.

For the most part its my first motorcycle. I had a Honda CBR900 very briefly when I was 29. It scared the hell out of me. Friends talked me into buying it.

250cc seems just right!

Welcome to the forums, see you out there :cool:

Yo
 

Welcome brother. We won't hold that "Iowa" thing against you.

Ride safe.

Speak for yourself. My wife is from Iowa.
Some things are just unforgiveable!! ;) :lol:

An Iowa Kinda Thing
 

So was my ex-wife.

:oops:

Getting my plates tonight. Whooooo hooo!!!!!

Got the helmet, gloves, & boots.

Still shopping for a jacket.

For now its just practicing for the riding test out in front of the house. I borrowed my 4yr old daughters sidewalk chalk and have stepped off and marked the necessary lines to simulate the tests I'll have to take. I love this bike. I can do u-turns in the street just fine. Easy to stop on a dime. Easy to do the cone weave, etc..... The test should be no prob at all. Just gotta find the time to do it. Until then it sits in the garage.
