    Hello from DFW, Texas

    Howdy, I'm a GS450T owner now so it looks like step one is joining this forum here's the proof:

      Congrats. And welcome to the forum.

      Let’s see:
      New member posts introduction in the proper forum. Check.

      Introduction includes info about the bike. Check.

      Includes a good picture -figured out how to post pictures instead of whining about it. And we don’t have to ask what color it is. Check.

      Filled out their profile so we know where in the world they are. Check.

      OK. We’ll keep ya.

      Any issues that come up, I’m sure the hive mind can help you get through.

      again, Welcome.

              Welcome Bren.

              Good intro post.
              With a good picture even!

              Planning on looking for a Beginner Rider Class? (Would be a good idea.)

              Yah, does look all stock.
              THe value of the bike is mostly that it is stock yet.

              .

                    Hi Bren and welcome to the Forum. Good score on the 450 she looks to be in excellent condition and unmolested, once up and running and maintained the GS twins are pretty much bulletproof.
