Hello Everyone!
I became a GS owner back in 1983 when I bought a leftover 82' black GS650E. Big upgrade from a GT185.
The bike and I became quite interment in a short amount of time. I spent a much time as I could on that bike for 3 years.
I regretted selling it and 2 years ago a good friend gave me a silver 81'. It sat in the corner of my shop at work until a couple of
weeks ago. I made a commitment to get it running this year so I can ride again.
I've pulled the carbs off to have them cleaned and I need to find some side covers for it.
I live about 5 miles from where I grew up in Vermont in the small town of West Rutland.
Short riding season here. Can't wait to get it on the road!

Welcome to the forum. Post up some pictures.

Short riding season here...

member Jedz123 is a Vermonter as well. He would disagree with your short riding season statement.

Haha, he sure would.

Welcome to the site, and welcome back to the world of GS.

Thanks guys. I have ridden when it was snowing. Just getting old and the bones don't like the cold.

Welcome to TheGSR.
THanks for the intro.
Yes, pics would be nice,

I had 82 GS650G for 20+ years from new. Did not have to work on it any much, so didnt learn too much about it. (then I got an 80 850G and, ah, then I started learning a few things)
THe 650s have some things unique to them, wereas the othert models are more similar to each other.

I think you are about 20 miles from Jedz.
He is an unique guy that buys multiple bikes a year, and rides multiple of them 10-20thousand miles a year each.

Tried to upload pictures but it doesn't do anything when I hit the upload button. Searched for uploading help on the forum but didn't find anything.

You need to use another site to host the pictures. I wrote instructions on how to use Imgur.com to do this. Link in my signature.

Guess I gotta play with the size when I post pictures.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Yeah, there's a small learning curve, but once you do it a few time, you'll get it down. It helps to put a space (ENTER key on your keyboard twice) after you paste in a picture to give some separation between the pics in your post. But I think you got the idea.

A new seat cover and a set of Superbike/Daytona height handlebars and you will have a good looking ride.

Here's a bit of inspiration if needed.
