    Ok, I've added everyone that posted to this thread instead of sending me a PM. And congratulations to New Zealand, there are now 3 of you.

      azr, FWIW, your footer has a link regarding GSR Google but the link brings one to this thread. I find it a trial to find the Google map to view the locations as it is not evident without re-reading your initial post.

      I'm wondering if the direct link could be prominently displayed, perhaps in the thread title?

      Not complaining but simply attempting to report experience which may reflect others'. Yes, I know I could save the Google link, etc. but choose not to do so for various reasons. I tend to view the map only every few months so do not recall the liink which requires searching.

      Applause for the project!

      If there is a complaint, it would be the concentration of GS on Vancouver Island with few on the mainland. Fix this please!

        Thanks for the input, I'm always wondering how this whole thing is working for others. I don't think I can put a link in the header but maybe I can try changing the colour of the link for the map, that should make it a little simpler for people to see within my instructions. Not much I can do about the lack of GS population on the mainland. Why don't you start reproducing GS bikes and help things grow, that's what I do. Besides with this bloody weather there ain't much riding going on...man what a crappy start to the season, again... oh well.

          So you adventure riders know, 'Artbone' has added himself to the map and offered his shop and mechanical skills to anyone that ventures that way and is in need. Looks like he's a couple of hours North of Mexico City.

              Thanks for putting this together. We sure are spread out! Unless you live in the Northeast, your chances of randomly crossing paths with another member are pretty slim.

              Still, good to put some places with the names!

              Cheers,

                    Finally got around to updating the map with everyone. Just a reminder it's easiest if you send me a PM rather than posting to this thread. Check out 'soupstone' all the way up in Scotland. We sure are getting spread around.

                          To see the map, follow the information that is in the very first post of the thread.

                          To get on the map, send a PM to azr with your information. Note that you don't need an actual address, unless you want the marker to point at your house.
                          My marker points to the same place that my GPS calls "home", just to fool people a bit. It's not my house, but you can see my house from there.
                          In fact, the location for my marker is the police station down the next block.

                            Here's a shortcut link to view the map without any other setup:

                            https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http:...SR_members.kmz

                            It just launches Google Maps and points it to the forum list.

New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.
