Hello everybody! I've been reading this forum for a bit now and have gotten a good deal of useful info from it. Thanks to all who post on and maintain this site. I've been the proud owner of an '05 GZ since last winter. I've ridden the bike to work every day but two since I got 'er. My bike is reading just a bit over 10,000 miles now (most of 'em mine). I have a 4x4 truck and a good fuel efficient car to drive, but why drive when you can bike? My ride to work is 32 miles round trip on 2 lane, 4 lane and through town. If I take the long way, I can get a few miles in on the interstate. I've got a few pictures of her and I hope they come out right. I'll be happy to hear any comments you all might have.

When I bought the bike, she was bare bones. My wife and I have added the bags, sissy bar, windshield and a few other goodies. I recently made a set of semi home made LED tail lights. Seems I've been a bit hard to see from the rear, as cars like to ride up on me. The LED's do seem to help with that.

As many of you in here already know, this bike is a hoot to ride. It's so easy handling and quite sporty. While interstate riding is just about at it's upper limit, for around town and out on two lane roads, it keeps up just fine. I go everywhere on it. To the store, friends houses and I even take her out on small handyman runs about town. I work on the railroad at a steel mill here in Blytheville, but on my off days I have a small business taking care of elderly folks' homes. I'll load up my tool bag and supplies and head out. I've even tied a guitar and a small amp to it and gone off to play with my band. Well, enough about my for now, thanks again for this site. Comment on my bike pic's if they work

Happy motoring !
