New Old Rider

Hi, Everybody. I'm a 71 year old rider, down-sizing to lighter, easier to handle bike. First began riding in 1953 with an Army Surplus 1942 Harley 45 that I paid $50 for. (Yeah, I know...wish I had held onto it, too) Have had mostly medium-sized bikes. (BMWs, Suzuki GS550L, 450 Honda, Kawasaki two-cycles, etc, etc) After not riding for about 5 years, I couldn't stand it any longer. Got a good deal on this 4,000 mile 2001 GTZ250. I've wanted one since I met a young fellow riding one. It's got a few issues, like surging idle, mostly from setting a long time I suspect, but it's mostly good.

Looking forward to the site.
