I am a new rider (licensed a month ago after taking the MSF course). I have just bought an '04 GZ250 as my first bike. I have had it out a few times and find it great to ride. I am getting into motorcycling a bit late in life-early 60s but better late than never.

I want to get more riding experience and eventually start commuting to work. By spring when it warms up again, I am looking forward to riding in our Colorado Rocky Mountains.

We've had an unusually long and warm fall this year. I hope that will continue a little longer so I can keep riding as much as possible before the snow. Even then, Denver usually has periods of warmer and dryer weather when the snow melts even during the winter, so I plan to ride as often as I can between now and spring.

Glad to have found this site and this forum.
