Been Lurking around

[Guest]

Been looking around on here for a while. Had my '83 GS650GL for about 10 months now. I'll riding up from Middle Tennessee to the SE Indiana the week of Labor Day. If you see me parked on the backroads somewhere between here and there give me a wave.

Nice bike, very good condition. Ride on and welcome to the site

Welcome! Very nice looking bike! Where in Indiana you headed? Some members on here don't like the L handlebars, never ridden one but suppose to be hard on the hands. I like the look of the Ls. terrylee

Bright, IN. Just west of Cincinnatti. About 325 miles one way.

That bike appears to be in very nice condition. Its easier and cheaper usually to make them run well than it is to make them look nice. Welcome, and enjoy it.

JK,

Welcome to GSR.

Posting an introduction, posting a photo, listing a location.... good way step out from lurking.

Eh, nice shiney stock 83 there.
How did you go about finding that?

Going to SE Indiania, eh.
SW Indiana is great.

If you have been lurking since June maybe you saw postings about the "Brown County Tina Memorial" Rally.
Bedford IN, and around, and south to Ohio River.
Keep an eye out for the same next year.

Tell us how you did on 700 mile weekend on a stock L.
Maybe even post some pics of the trip.

>>later note.
Well, mostly stock.
Looks like custom gauge(s).

Are a some other GSR members in Cinci area, although mostly north of Cinci.

And some in TN, but I don't know where.

How about a total resto before a first rally (3000 mile fount trip).
made it bathed in oil and could not grip my zipper with my throttle hand for 6 months.
i probably had 6 months of riding under my belt
