Hello, My name is Sal Medina. I am glad to have found a site for the GZ250CC. I bought mine in 2007 and am finally making the jump to highway driving.

Unfortuntaley, I dropped my new bike within the first 2 weeks of purchase in 2007 on a very small slow turn, when I failed to lean correctly and hesitated the turn. Didnt drop a bike once in class, go figure. It was all slow motion fall, caught my left ankle, scrapped my left knee and elbow. My bike suffered small scrapes , small painting damage and I was limping for a couple of months. Luckily there was no traffic and I was able to walk my bike back home a block away. It could have been worse. Once recovered, I bought bike boots (got rid of high top gym shoes) and purchased an armor padded jacket. This is was embarassing because I weigh 225lbs and the bike weighs 300lbs. How I managed to drop it aimlessy is beyond me. A small fall with extruciating pain for weeks. I now have 1,000 miles on it and driving on the freeway for short commutes. Recently added a windshield. Going to add blue neon lights soon.

I love this bike but I will be looking into upgrading to a more powerful bike next spring. :rawk:
