White GS....

Memorial Day weekend, Fossil Oregon Bike meet...amongst hundreds of Harleys in this nice valley campground...was a 80 GS with the funky square headlight...the torpedo taillight, she was primarily white with blue accents, a custom paint job for sure, it was parked in the campground more up the hill, towards the overlooking cliffs. Our 1150 was present & accounted for that day.

Church had Biker Sunday yesterday. 70+ bikes riding to local hospital and delivering toys for the kids there.

Only other vintage GS I saw was in fact a 1982 GS650E.

My bikes prettier twin. Light blue, but completely stock bodywork. Found the owner and gave him a card telling him bout this place. We'll see if he logs on.

Was just in PIttsburgh scoping out a place to live and saw what looked to be an 80 or 81 GS550L in immaculate condition in the Olive Garden parking lot. I left a note on the handle bar pinch bolts about the GSR and encouraged the rider to check it out. Who knows?

Can't believe it! After 3 or 4 years, another GS showed up at the local Hooters' bike night.

The young guy had a very nice 78 1000E, shiney black paint, drag bars, V&H pipe with RED rims. (looks cooler than it may sound)
The dude was running it with NO front fender ! The new paint won't last long and it will be a pain to keep clean, but it is tough looking 8)

He hadn't heard of the site and was very interested, maybe he will show up on the forum :?

Saw a GS1100GK heading west out of St. John's, Newfoundland last week. It's the first of these I've recognized on the road since I got mine. Lots of GS's around southern BC, though many are in driveways.

Alberg, Vermont, Bluegrass Festival, last Sunday. (14AUG)


Blue GS850L, seen right at the rear of the parking area, with a white V-marking on the back of the helmet.


No one nearby had any idea of who owned the bike.

I was leaving at the time, in between rain showers, so no other time was available to find the owner.

The firehouse a few blocks from my house had a GS450e out front of it... We stopped and talked to the firefighter that owned it... He bought it ages ago and it sat in his garage for 10 years... Since gas prices are going nuts he drug it out and commutes on it.

Annual VME run around Vashon Island WA. 9/11/05. I usually only see one or two GS's on this ride each year, but yesterday I saw about a half dozen nice ones. Anyone from GSR attend Red 750 with tank bag, Blue 850 L, Silver 1000G, ..... Hundreds of nice old bikes (and I forgot my camera #-o) ....

5:30 PM today on 630-west. Beautiful red 550 E? with white rims. Operator was solo with a white helmet and white shirt; looked a little too big for it.

I rolled up for a indoor soccer game last week in carrollton and about wrecked when I saw a GS out of the corner of my eye. Swung back around and it was same year and model my 850 was only he had a Shield. I left him my card with the GS site but I guess he wasn't interested.

saw a green 850G in the back of a truck around the corner from my house. Im gonna stop and tap on the door this weekend and see if he needs a hand unloading it

I figure, its either someone to ride with, or a bike to buy, it looks pretty clean, paints been redone, looks like it might be rideable.

fellow GS'er

Heading into Longmont, Colorado this morning caught up to a 1100 Katana at a light. Stopped and spoke with the rider. Turns out he is a neighbor of mine and is a GS Resources user. Very nice bike Steve and equally nice to meet you.

Just found out last week that a co-worker in my building has a
'78 GS750 with a windshield and rear storage and rack.
He parks in a different lot so I hadn't seen it before until he noticed
mine and he told me about his. Turns out we both bought them within
the same month this past summer.
