GS Sightings

Saw a little GS yesterday

Unfortunately, didn't have time to get a photograph, but yesterday in the parking lot at Shannon Falls (that's a pic of my buddy Scott leading when it was decidely un-summery) I saw a guy bump-starting a matte-blacked out GS.

I ran over to give him a push. Turned out to be a GS(X)-400. He hadn't heard of the GSR, so I pointed him this direction.

Now that is truly a rarity, having 2 1980 Suzuki GS1000G's with Samsonite luggage........

ANd in such great condition.

Lots of Samsonite luggage are all faded to light grey.
I really had to keep after the set I had, with plastic/vinyl protectant.

that's about it Sandy.....it really felt like Christmas! Had the pleasure of working on said bike last week, a real treat. I was never too sure about the black G's but seeing Jay's 80' 1000G now has me convinced, his looks awesome.

Too funny. I can just picture the fuzzy slippers, the newspaper and the YAY! beer.

650E

I Was driving, leaving downtown Grand Haven (Rib Fest, yum yum) with wife and fluffy foo foo doggie in passenger side, with passenger window part down for doggie.....

..... I saw a 650E go by, was silver stock paint, with pipe.... probably Ben "huntb", so followed it. Was on a one way street, I was pulling up next to him at a stop light , trying to put passenger side window down to say hello... but window wasn't going down for some reason.

Light changed, and off he went, turned in different direction than we were going.

Wife was crabbing about loud motorcycle (wasn't that loud) and was trying to put the window up.

Last night at break time from work I ran into my buddy Jay on his nice G...just another GS in Victoria...

I've seen one mid-80's GS750E around a few times, and the occasional beater "L," but other than that, nada save my own beast.

Same here, seen a 80/81 1100E around, never been able to chat with him. A few 850s other then that, guess the rest are under something in a barn.

... and quite a nice stock original one at that.
Good that you told him about GSR.
Did he say about it being a good example of a classic bike (and no mention of a Saws-All)?
