    650 Seca

    I have owned 650 Secas. Here's some agvice: Skip the Seca and find an 850G. The Seca hasn't the mid range power to pull your hat off, and the Hitachi carbs clog up if you leave gas in it for just a couple months.

    I wanted to like it, but...

      I saw the Suzuki GS just sitting in the driveway. Wet with the present rain. Looking lonely and cold. I guess I will have to get the key and take Suzie Q for a ride.

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                    I spotted TWO GS1000's, a GS550E and a GS650E today. But as someone will point out they are all in the family.....

                      Well, since you weren't actually riding any of the GS's mentioned.....I guess you could say you "spotted" them........

                        I spotted two Gs bikes today and yesterday and the day before that...

                        You know the problem might resolve itself if I just left the garage door down. But damn I like seeing those bikes in there.

                          Saw a '82 Katana in Nagoya Japan today. Wasn't pristine, had a dent in the tank and missing the engine labels. Wasn't in too bad of shape overall, but it had some pretty crappy header wrap on the pipes.

                            I saw a nice looking 80's GS in Riverbank a couple days ago. It was parked on thelawn in a trailer park my friend lives in. Didn't catch the model though.

                              Riding my Red Hotrod to the gym tonight, I spotted a '79 GS750 in the back of a pick up truck. We were southbound on the 101 in rush hour traffic. So he was moving kinda slow. I split the lane on his right, moved left in front of him, then let him catch up.

                              He just bought the bike & was heading home to San Diego. I wish I had the time to chat with him, or give him my GS Resources business card. But I did give him a shout out to check the web site. I hope he remembers...

                                I've seen several GS's the last few days, it seems there are several 550's in the area and I've seen one other 1000 besides mine. I know my brothers old 1000 is around somewhere as well.
