Got out on a beautiful night

Trevor - in 1980, I purchased the only GS1000S sold in Green Bay, WI. Unfortunately, a few years later I traded it on a GS750L. Really. I’ve been looking for a GS1000S ever since…..in fact, I bought my 700ES because it brought back memories of my 1980 GS1000S. I would consider a trade + cash with you ! ! !
:-) I’m serious

[markn]

Is it a deal? !

Thanks for your post...and your 700 is beautiful (I have an 83 750ed) my 1000s has to much sentimental value for me to ever sell it....I mean Wes Cooley actually stayed at my house 5 years ago and signed the tank....there is a 1000s facebook group where you could have some luck finding one for sale....
Cheers

Zero GSX in my RF.... unless you count the GSX-R-esque engine Suzuki put in. Still a fun old dinosaur to spend an afternoon on.

Smokey on the island the last couple of days...big fire in Hope BC

That does stink but obviously could have been so much worse
A naked Bandit would be fun.

Ugh: My mint 1250 Bandit is hurting. Riding into work today, there's lots of deer in our area so I hug the centerline and keep it to 50-55KPH but it wasn't enough. A doe jumped out of the ditch and right into my path, I grabbed brake big time and steered into the other lane so I didn't run over her (and go down myself). She clipped the front, right side of me and broke everything she could. Headlight, front fender, upper fairing, side fairing, she glanced off my knee too but fortunately it isn't hurt. Really not worth fixing it unfortunately as it's only a $3500 bike totally mint and it would cost lots to repair it. 60,000km with no damage whatsoever until this. Beer time.

minor damage well worth fixing imo. Thinking of selling?

As noted, glad that youre ok.
A good article on plastic repair.

First blizzard of the winter headed my way should be here tomorrow so I went for what is possibly the last ride of the year. Added Seafoam to tank then topped it off with fuel ready for winter storage if need be.

Blizzard?? Calgary is forecasting 19*C and sunny for tomorrow.

Ron (1978750E) and I stopped for the best BBQ in Missouri, imho.

we also witnessed a bald eagle snacking on the remains of an armadillo. Couldn't get a pic of that.

Then we stopped at a small stream running under the highway with chystal clear water running under it so clear we could see
a whole school of minnows. For some strange reason the pic of the creek didn't work. I'll try again

There!!! Finally. That water was just begging for me take a big drink of it. Probably would have been ok but was just told about the town of Piedmont having tested positive for ecoli the previous day.
I would think the creek water was probably good.
