Welcome to the forum SuziQ!

I grew up in East Aurora, outside of Buffalo. I still have a lot of ties there, and go out often. As a matter of fact, I just got back from a ride to Buffalo and back last Saturday. I rode out the Thruway, but came back Rt. 20 through Auburn. Oh, I live in New Hampshire now. I went out to visit the in-laws, but that was really just an excuse for a long ride in that exquisite weather we had a week ago. I may ride out there again this week if the weather we're having now holds. I'll wave as I go by on the Thruway.

I don't do all this on a GZ250, although I do still have one. I do the long rides on the BMW R1200R.

Anyway, good to have you on the forum. You can learn an awful lot here, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
