Hi everyone - new Goose owner
« on: March 11, 2009, 11:46:31 AM »
Hi guys and gals.

Former SZR660 owner (from new), and I'm returning to singles riding when I saw a Suzuki Goose in pretty good nick up for sale down south. Good grief, finding onfo on these things is abugger. As such, I've set up a wee webpage (which is more like a blog at the moment) and I'm hoping to fill it with all sorts of brilliant technical information, and become somewhere for frustrated Goose owners to go to.

I also own an FZX750, and a Katana 750. I pick the Goose up on Sunday and can't wait :)

Yeah....welcome
I very nearly bought a Goose several years ago (a grey import, i think they all are), but common sense ruled, when I tried to find info on it....so went the srx route....but i had it for a weekend, and it was great fun. Good luck on the search for data

The motor in the Goose is said to be a good 'un. I was very tempted by one myself.

Which Goose is it, faired or unfaired? I think they are a lovely looking bike, but a lot of people are put off by the capacity.

I know of one near here laying unused and unloved... I'm keeping an eye on it  ;)

Any chance of some pictures?

Unfaired - I didn't realise there was a faired version from the factory. The only pics I have are from the advert I bought it from. Suffice to say once I've got her on Sunday and given her a really good clean (three-four hour ride back) I'll take some pics and throw them on here and on the website.

Anywho - pics of the bike:

Nice bike Majik, welcome to the club. You didn't happen to buy the Goose from Bat M/cs perchance?

Thanks man - no, it was a private sale. Hence I picked it up for a bargain (in my humble and skint opinion  ;D).

imhaso?

Could catch on  ;)

My favourite email abbreviation came via Ixion:
DAMHIKIJKOK  (I've had to return to this post to modify the spelling. What does it say when you can't even spell an abbreviation  ::))

It often came after a discussion about mechanical incompetence and disaster.

No, I give up, although I suspect the last three stand for 'spell that correctly'

Hi Gc,

Easy one for starters

Bet You Wish You Spelt That Correctly

Good work on the last part

Cheers for now,
