Hi from GA

MarineMom · August 3rd, 2010, 05:49 PM

Hello, I'm a 40 something rider that started riding in 2000 on a GZ250 & worked my way up to the 'big' bikes, enjoyed all but one of them(cruiser) & have come back to a smaller more comfortable bike for me. Parking lots & steep hills/driveways are much more pleasant on a lighter bike that is wonderful for the vertically challenged =) So far I've enjoyed my '07 250. Bought it used with <3000mi on it in April. I recently moved to Ga & am proud to say I can keep up with my very spirited riding friend on his big BMW GS in the mountains =) I'm looking forward to putting some comfort 'mods' on after I recover from the move.

Welcome aboard Tami

Welcome!

Where'd you move from? I started in GA, ended up in CA (ultimately I'll end up back East, though!).

Welcome Tami! I live in Athens, Ga, and my hubby and frequent the mountains of North Georgia, NC, TN very often. :-)

Hello, and welcome Marinemom. I bought a used 07 a few weeks ago. What color did you get? Mine is blue with silver flames. (Will post pictures as soon as I get home from vacation). It is so much fun to ride compared to the bigger bikes, and scooter I have ridden in the past. Can't wait to get home, and ride again. Enjoy!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! My bike is blue... I moved to Ga from KY, was in Ky for 2&1/2yrs spent most of my life in FL. My hubby had family in KY so we were moving & getting settled there when he passed away, I stayed but it just wasn't working out, nothing to do & no one there after a failed relationship so I found a friend from high school on facebook & he rides so I moved to try to start over. My friend lives about 20mi from me & we try to ride as much as possible around our schedules & the weather. 2 of my kids live in FL & my son is a Marine stationed in CA @ the moment.... that's my story!
