Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Newbie

Post by rdsteve »

Hi,Just joined,been riding since 1974,don"t know i have managed to survive this long,lol. Started off on Yam rd"s,250,350,400 and kwak triples till early 80"s then big jap 4 strokes for next 38 years,then in 2018 a marine blue Yam rd400c found it"s way into my garage,same model as i had new in 76 and this has rekindled my passion for two- strokes,hence the reason for me joining.Time has come for a two-stoke companion for the rd and a t500 is top of the list.Ashamed to say never had a Suzuki two stroke,so going to rectify that soon hopefully.The search has begun and as soon as i have my big 500c twin there will be lots of questions for you guys. Cheers Steve

Welcome Steve nice range of bikes you have owned there ! T500 is a good choice and some guys on here have done a fine job restoring them so know most of the answers. Good luck with your search and post some pictures when it arrives :D
