Off to a good restart
 

Will pickup my 02 GZ250 this afternoon. Very excited because it has been about 30 years since I rode a bike on the road. I thought the GZ250 would be a perfect restart for me. I have a 30 mile ride home from where I'm picking it up, if all goes well I might make the trip a little longer LOL.

Welcome to the forum ! :2tup:

I'm also a 'reborn' rider, back in the saddke after 30 years. I love the smiles this bike gives me.

PS didn't you have a little stiffnes in the muscles of your lower back, i.e. those between your skeleton and the saddle ?
I often get it after about 25 miles.

Welcome to the forum. It is always great to have new faces show up with smiles from ear to ear. The GZ is a great bike for newbies and returning riders to develop their skills and confidence.

Welcome. Be safe, ride smart and have fun with the GZ.

My muscles were tense from that initial ride. Not so much in my lower back but my neck. I was driving against a very strong wind which made the bike lean many times. I attempted to make myself less wind resistance (didn't work too well) by keeping my chin down and after about 15 miles my hands were going tingly. Once I got back into the city everything was old hat.
