Hi, I'm Jen.
Don't hate me because I'm from California.
Just moved from Southern California to Fort Collins. WTF is all this white crap falling from the sky and clogging up my driveway?
Moved out of a neighborhood where we've had our house burglarized, graffitted on, license plates stolen off cars, had mail stolen, had cars spit on, had living room window shot out, had plants stolen out of planters, had non-stop blasting of music from bumping car steros, weekly visits from police helicopters, had police search our backyard for a fugitive, had a different fugitive hop our back wall and run through the yard, neighboor painted his white fence with air gun right next to our black vehicles, then pretended to not speak english:siesta:...ug...and the list goes on.
Couldn't bring ourselves to spend $600k plus to move to a mid-range neighborhood in so cal, so after visiting a bunch of cities and states, here we are in Northern CO. Jobless, and still trying to sell our house in CA.:crazy:
Enough sob story? I though so.
I ride a yellow Suzuki 2004 GS500f. It's my first bike. Had it for about a year and a half, put about 7k miles on it, mostly weekends in the mountains or watching my life flash before my eyes splitting on CA freeways. Have done one track day at California Speeday--much FUN! Didn't want to have to re-jet the carbs for altitude, but after starting it up a few days ago, I think it might need it. Can anyone recommend a shop? (I can change oil, but needles and shims are a bit over my head). Gonna need some heated grips and hand guards, too. Brr.
Looking to get a new bike also, then Hubby gets the GS to learn on. Was interested in a sport tourer, like the VFR or a Triumph Sprint, but they are so darn bulky and heavy. Also drooling over the new red R6 and R6s, or GSXR 600 or 750. Too many choices!!
Anyways....looking forward to meeting some new people, learning a new place, and exploring all the mountain roads once all this white stuff melts off a bit.
