Hi all!

I have been lurking and reading the boards for a couple of weeks and decided it was finally time to step out of the garage and introduce myself. I have really enjoyed reading the posts and looking at the pics. Patrick, I giggle every time I see your bobbing head cat...I love that li'l guy!

Anyway, I got my GZ in April of 2005 and have just short of 8200 miles on her. Sadly for the GZ, at least for a while, I got the "I need bigger" syndrome and got the VZ800 in September of 2007 and the Road Star last January. So, I have been putting my riding miles on other bikes as well as the GZ. But, you know, despite loving the other bikes, the GZ holds a special place in my heart and I am glad to see so many other owners of multiple bikes that still sing the praises of this little workhorse! :2tup:

So, thanks for inspiring me. Last week, after reading some of the posts, I went out and did a spanking clean up and lube on the GZ's chain. Unfortunately, the lift I have doesn't work with the GZ because of the pipe underneath, so I did the roll and clean method. Cumbersome, but worth it...the chain was sparkling for my ride today. (I have been sitting out the nasty So. Cal. rainstorm that started the VERY day I cleaned the chain!).

I look forward to being a participant on these very friendly and funny boards.
