    My new GS850 tattoo!

    Hey everyone, I'm not exactly a new member but I left my old account untouched for too long and it got deleted. I'm happy to be back. I've owned 5 GS850's and currently have a GS1000 that's actually just under 1300cc's. It was a drag bike build but I'm putting it back to road use. I love GS's and just got my first bike tattoo'd on my back. A drunk driver took the bike away from me and also took my knee and elbow with him but I'm all put back together now and started my own motorcycle shop. I won't advertise here, just wanted to say 'hello' and thank you for having me back!

    Well now, that's some tribute!

    There's a GS Parts and Services forum somewhere on here, be sure to add the details of your business. Not too many shops left that specialize in these old beasts.

        Nicely-done art work, but I am one that just doesn't understand why you would spend the money to put something like that where you can't see it.

        We have a few shop owners here, so don't feel bad about making your presence known. There is no general advertising, more of a "yeah, I can do that for you" attitude. I have even seen one shop owner give advice on a competitor's product, even though he had the same item to offer.

        Let us know what you have to offer, keep it low-key, I don't think anybody would mind.

        "Low-key" could include a link to your website in your signature.

              Don't worry Steve, I'll maximize exposure by walking around shirtless.
              I'll go put a heads-up in the Parts and Service area.
              We're at lowsidegarage.com
              Most these guys like the Harley stuff so they're extremely happy to have a Japanese-bike mechanic
              on hand, especially when electricity is the culprit. I bash on their bikes lovingly at work all day
              long so I won't do it here.
              Thanks for the warm welcome!

                Well, you could upgrade to a 1000G, and you could drop a 1100G motor into that. Pretty much need a tat change if you go too far beyond that. Its cool though. One can easily tell what it is...I think I've had less money in good running 850Gs.
