    hello!

    hi all! new forum member (obviously) and new rider.

    I've picked up an 82 GS650G. love her already, even tho I've only had her for a couple weeks. she's not the most beautiful machine, but everyone seems to think she's pretty damn good-looking for her age. I've enjoyed every single mile I've put on her so far.

    looking forward to seeing everyone's posts about their GSs!

          Pics of the bike for us to eyeball would be nice and your location and GS model in your signature will make your intro complete.

                  Yet another 650G appears on the scene. Is this a sign of the coming UJM apocalypse?

                  Welcome to the forum...now on to the pictures. Use a webhost (e.g. Photobucket) so you can have more than one, full-size image per post

                      That's exactly what I think about my 850GL too. (Which was also my first bike.)

                          Welcome to GSR.

                          I will recommend that you find a MSF beginner rider class (MSF or other).

                          What part of the world are you located?

                          I had 82 GS650G for 20+ years. SInce it was new, Never had to work on it much to ever learn much about it.
                          Then I got an 850G and then a 1100GK, when they were older, and, ah, have had some expereinces where have learned a few things.


                          Thanks for introducing yourself. Do post picture.

                              I've yet to test ride a "G"/Shaftie. All these stories have me interested.

                              Post pics or it didn't happen, as was mentioned.
