    Hello from Northern Kentucky

    Hello. New Suzuki owner here. A 1981 GS450L to be exact. This is my first Suzuki. I'm a Yamaha guy but time to play with something different. Currently have 4 Yamahas and as of a few days ago, this '81 GS450. Hope to learn some cool stuff on here.

            I see two Worthingtons in Kentucky.

            Are you near Ironton, oHIo or Lousiville?

            If you are close to Louisville, there is no excuse not to meet up with us in Bedford in June.

                Hey Steve. I'm in Worthington near Ironton, Ohio. I'm 200 miles from Louisville.

                Thanks everybody for the welcomes!

                  That means that you are only 270 miles away from Bedford. Not quite as close as the other Worthington, but still a lot closer than some of the attendees.

                    Hi from up the Ohio River from ya -- I'm 35 miles upstream in Barboursville WV.

                    I started on a 550L, riding a 650L now. I bet that 450L is fun. And you know there are some terrific roads just north of you!

                      Nice to see somebody on here that is so close. I'm up in Barboursville every once in a while. Hey you even have your own Harbor Freight store now!

                      I'm sure the 450L will be fun next spring when I get it ready and the weather is good. My 360 Yamaha is fun so this is bound to be.

                        Give me a shout out if you're in the area. I haven't been to that HF yet, but it's just two miles down the road.
