Title: My new G5!
Post by: jartist on June 08, 2011, 04:01:59 am
After lurking here for a while I finally made it official and bought myself a purdy black G5 and lovin' it!  I think my girlfriend may be a little jealous.  I live in Santa Cruz California if anybody wants to rally the bay area.  -John

Nice one congrats. I'm up in Marin, there's a few others on the board around the Bay. Perhaps a meetup is in order

Welcome aboard jartist and congrats on your Bullet.

+1 to 1 Thump's suggestion. 

The Washington Bullet Owners get to gethers are the highlight of the year for some of us.

It would be nice to see something similar happen in CA.

I have Sundays off in June. If Berryessa is too far for a Santa Cruz rider just breaking it in, we could meet @ Alice's then ride around the hills.

Welcome Jartist !
              I live in Redwood City. I ride a G5 Deluxe. I think Alice's would be a great place to meet up. Get use to drawing a crowd !

The SFO dealer should organize something.

I haven't thought about Alice's for a long time.
I made it a point to visit every time I rode up to 'Frisco.

Thanks all!  I'm down for making the pilgrimage to Alice's.  I'll probably be heading there Friday morning to get my free tee-shirt for bringing my new bike.  That's the rumor anyway.

Baryessa camping weekend would be cool too.  I got my bike with a little over 400 miles on it and I'm close enough now to breaking it in that a longer trip would not be out of the question as soon as I get my luggage carrier and seats sorted.  My weekends are pretty booked up but I'll get something started as soon as I figure out a window of time.

I won't be back in town until Sunday afternoon. I will be around at random times after that. Jartist, did you buy yours in Santa Cruz? I would like to visit that dealer.

Yeah, Il Motorino in Soquel.  Really good shop.  I bought one that was their demo for a bit with 400 miles.  They gave me a good price and changed the oil and put in a new sealed battery without charging prep.  They are a small scooter shop but expanded the repair department.  There's not much to see there regarding Enfields: just two c5s and nothing really to speak of in terms of accessories in stock.  I'd definitely buy from them again tho.
