    Said goodbye to the ole girl today

    Well today I got to take my last ride on my 1100. I rode her about 50 miles to drop her off at her new owners house. It was a bitter sweet goodbye as she was my favorite bike. But I guess if I want to move on to bigger and better bikes I needed to let her go.

    I gave the guy my GS Resources card and told him that he should join and hang with the fine folks on here. He also owns a 1980 gs850g that he said he bought new off the showroom floor. So I hope the 1100 is in good hands.
    I didnt do it I swear !!

    You've accomplished three things here my friend.
    One, you're taking a step toward a new chapter in your motorcycling life (one with a Bandit probably )
    Two, you've given her a good home with another GS to play with and an owner who likes the breed
    Three, you've probably shown someone The GSR and now their original owner bike can be brought back to full glory with the help of the fine pepole here.

    Good onya. Now, we got lots to do tomorrow, so don't stay up all night weeping into your pillow

      I haven't yet sold a GS. I don't relish the idea. I hope when the time come I can sell to a GS lover.

      The 850L is my first love. I rarely ride it anymore, but I still enjoy wringing it out. Hmmm. It might be time for a maintenance ride.

      The 1000G, well, I only think about something newer when I'm not actually riding it. It doesn't need much wrenching anymore, so what do I have to complain about?

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
