Hey ya'll. Thank you for this site:)

I am excited to be here. I'm from Arkansas, USA. I have a 2004 GS800 with a bad engine. Seems the previous owner did not love it as I will and I got ripped off in the deal. They are beautiful aren't they?. 
     Just found this site and I'm hoping to get my bike up and running by next riding season.    I'm just a poor southern man trying to be free and as far as I can see a bike is as close as a person can get to wings. But I'm also mechanically... very slow.
Thank you in advance for any info I may glean.
