Re: 2006 Suzuki GS500F - $2400 bump - price dropped. Need it gone

I moved to Vancouver about 6 months ago (Dec 2014). People say I have been very lucky with the weather, but the rain isn't really as bad as what you hear. You may get many rain days during the winter time but you also have snow in Toronto. If I have my bike out here, I would still ride on some...

Price-lowered bump.

2006 Suzuki GS500F - $2500 Up for sale is my beloved 2006 GS500F. It's a US bike, with ~174xx miles (280xx km). This is my first bike, I bought it 2 seasons ago and put on about 10000km. I'm the third owner. No liens and no accidents/clean history. Bike is in great shape and never gave me any...

Ah I just saw this. Thanks. Yeah it was the blue car.

Congratulations. I also did mine this morning at Aurora and passed. For those who are taking it soon, read the thread and take a look at the marking checklist that was posted on here. Like what Stveo said, they were very useful.

Good luck to OP I'm taking it soon as well. Hope I'm not hi-jacking the thread I do have one question related to this ... what's the proper procedure for "roadside stops"? This is what I think I would do if I'm asked to do one: 1) check mirror/blindspot 2) signal, then check mirror/blindspot...

Thanks I'll check them out.

Hey all, Will be doing a shopping trip to the Niagara/Buffalo region soon. Are there any motorcycle gear shops worth visiting while I'm at it? Not looking for anything specific but I can use some upgrades if the price is right. Thanks.

Another UfT student checking-in. I ride a GS500F but i'm only there once or twice a week. What Toricida said. Do make sure you aren't blocking anything though. There was a 250 that was parked next to my bike that got ticketed yesterday because it's a bit too close to where people walk.

I was travelling south on my GS500 down 404 last night and bike died as I was getting close to the Finch off-ramp, luckily I was in the right lane and I had enough momentum to get me to the exit. Bike wouldn't start up and eventually I wasn't getting anything from the battery. I have only...

Congrats, I picked up my first bike a couple days ago as well I know how you feel :D

Thanks everyone. I'll probably ride it over when it gets warmer out. Will definitely keep that in mind lol

Hi everyone, Been lurking around and this is probably my first time posting. A quick intro about myself - I have always wanted to ride a motorcycle since I was a teenager, but there were many things stopping me from getting one until recently (parents/money/insurance and the list goes on ...)...
