Hello All! I'm recently retired Air Force. (only six weeks) As a retirement gift, (I got to choose my own) I ended up with a 79' GS550e. When I met the seller via craigslist, it fired right up and then proceeded to spew a half gallon of gas on the ground. This greatly effected the asking price...
The PO told of me his "restoration" intentions but ended up choosing a old Porsche to devote his time on instead. He purchased it from and estate auction as it had been sitting in a barn under a drop cloth for 12 years. She ran long enough to get a quick run up and down the street...and I was smitten. I learned to ride on the streets of Tokyo. This bike is actually a large drop in displacement as I previously owned a Triumph Daytona liter bike. It was a blast on the abandoned roads in the mountains outside of the city. Now that I'm back stateside and unemployed, I needed something to work on and I found my GS and that needed some love. I've been wrenching on it ever since.
