My story

El Diablo · 06-05-2008, 03:32 PM

Just bought 2008 GZ250 to commute to/fro work. I drive a Ford F150 getting 11-13 miles per gallon. Gas prices drove me to start looking for an alternative.

Had a Honda 250 back when my wife and I first got married (18 years ago). Sold it to buy a Honda 200x three wheeler. Have had a Yamaha Big Bear 4 wheeler for the last 12 years, still runs great.

That's my story. Back in the motorcycle saddle again.

Oh, the name's Dave. My nick name for many years was snapper (long story involving a red head girl back in college). Then, one of my friends obtained a brother in law whose real name was snapper. Go figure. Anyway it got real confusing. El Diablo (the devil) or as Ricky Bobby puts it, a fighting chicken with big claws, was picked up somewhere along the way.

Looking forward to advice, discussion, and information about this cool little bike.
