    Hello

    Good morning from Victoria BC.
    Recently picked up a 78 GS 750, enjoy it very much. Re living my youth with this bike. Had a GS 550 for a few years and an 82 GS 750 until someone stole it. Currently also have a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere. Sorry about the finger in the photo.

      Hi Doug and welcome.
      In case you haven't found it yet there is a lot of useful stuff here http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
      Very good looking machine. Many safe arrivals and happy miles.
      I take it from the wheelbarrow that it rains a lot there, ours is just like that

        Never worry about the finger in the photo Doug, we are all more interested in the bike and it's looking real good.

          Never a great start giving people the finger in your first post

          That is a nice looking bike, and a worthy addition to the crop that Trevor is hoarding in Saanich, not to mention the seemingly growing population of GSes in the rest of Victoria.


          What kinds of trips do you like to do on the Super Tenere? That's a whole lot of adventure bike.

            Trevor pointed me here. Thanks to him.
            The Tenere has taken me to Alaska, Arkansas and many places in between. They are heavy for serious dirt work but it is surprising where they will take a talented rider. They work well on gravel forest service roads and make a fair sport touring machine.The GS makes for a nice change of pace.

                  Hey Doug, glad you found your way on here. The bikes looks great and it was nice seeing you and Bernie last night at the bike night. You and Bernie will have to come over to the garage some night soon. And don't listen to Charlie..

                  Cheers and see ya in the hood!

                      Hahaha! The Finger? That caught my attention but not as much as the beautiful bike you own. Welcome.

                      Enjoy your way around here...seems like Trevor will be hosting a GS meeting in his garage. Just don't do any camping.
