New GZ owner

[Tugboat Annie]

Hi from Northern Illinois
I've been lurking here for a few weeks while I decided to buy a 2006 silverblue GZ250.I bought her and am loving her. I started out on a Rebel and then bought a 2010 Triumph Bonneville. I loved riding the Bonne but she had a few mechanical problems and it was a 100 mile round trip to the dealer. I sold her to someone who lives a lot closer and could deal with the problems.I decided I didn't need 865 cc and started looking for a smaller bike which brought me to this forum and ultimately my new bike. Thanks for all the info I've already gained from this forum and the genial tone of the members.
