Hi from Western NY

Started riding in 1972 on my new Honda CB350. Got my first Harley in 1976 and have rode them excluslivly since then. So what am I doing here? Heard from a guy at work that his neighbor ( A Harley Dude) had a Suzuki that he bought for his wife in 2002. Long story short...They split up a month after he got the bike. It hasnt been on the road since 2002 but hes been riding it around his farm ever since. I went to see the guy to see if he might be interesed in selling it, and now Im the proud owner of a 2002 GZ with 485 original miles. Got it home, went over the whole bike, and in a few hours it was just about like new (with a few scratches from being banged around in his barn. Now its parked with my 2 Harleys and Im loving it. Its a blast. I downloaded the owners manual here, but probably wont have much input for a while as I know nothing about Jap bikes...Yet I'm sure Ill be learning fast. Thanks, Mike
