Dave you should get that GS500 to replace your 250 . If you can deal with the chain drive - then they are great machines . Wink

I put a Blue "O-Ring" chain on the one I had for a while and now 1000 miles later it still doesn't need adjusting yet ...

The young man I sold it to , will bring it back for maintenance "how-to's" , he is still so "In Love with it" Grin

The white bike I rode down to your place this year.....is my replacement for the little Kawasaki 250.

Three running bikes is my limit - and if Deb ever decides she doesn't want to ride double on long trips.....the big bike will likely be sold.

That GS500 looks to be well maintained, no goofy loud exhaust or other stoopid crapp added.....just a good example of a low mileage bike with a ton of miles left in it.

It was all I had with my suitcase on the back. What an incredible machine that bike was, it kept up with the freeway traffic. It was my only transportation until i could afford a car. Like somebody said, where there is a will there is way.

Somehow you have used the quote button to combine my 3 bike statement with MM's 2 bike limit.

Unless you count the mini bike - but it ain't street legal and runs off a tork-converter so I don't count it ! One "Me" bike and one "We" bike . Marcia still ride with me once in a while.
