Re: Another new GTS'er

Well gentlemen (and any lady GTSer out there),

I've been enjoying all of the reading thus far without interjection. 

But...Regarding Volvo drivers...be careful.  I'm on my 2nd Volvo, yeh it's not my first choice, but for an old married fart, the old V70 T5 allows me to have fun, and still be a family man...AND I ride a GTS. 

I'm a newbe GTS'r as of last May, and oh by the way I love it...no complaints.  I tried the Harley route...didn't like it, but what would you expect.  My previous bikes...ZX11, FJ1100, FZ700, ZX600, several RD(Rapid Death)400's and an RD350.  I know...what was I thinking.  But I thought in my old age a Dyna Sport would quench my motorcycle thirst...NOT!  Anyway, I found a 93 with 11,000 miles with corbin, saddle bags, grip warmers, plug in for heated vest, and tank bra, all in cherry shape.

Keep the California stories coming, as I'm a displaced Californian living in New York, which oh by the way has some great twisties, which I guess I have to put off exploring until next season.

Any GTS birthday parties planned for the East Coast.

Thanks for all of the great info so far.
