GS Sightings

[tomm]

Saw what looked to be maybe a GS850G with a blue tank pulling out of the Sunoco station at the Lee Traffic Circle in New Hampshire at around 3:30 today. Only got a quick look as it was already on the move and I was just pulling in. Anybody from here?

I rode my '80 GS1000G from Orange County up to Laguna Seca. Spotted a beautiful '79 (?) GS850 in the parking dirt. Didn't have a writing utensil to leave a GSResources message.

Saw a black rat bike GS750E parked in front of a motel on Rt30. Been eying the wheels sticking out of the bike cover for awhile and yesterday was the first time I had seen it uncovered.

At the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. I spotted a nice looking '79 GS1000E in the parking lot. Black, with a cafe fairing & Yoshimura pipes. She looked to be in excellent condition for her age, with 48K on the clock.

I wish I had my digital camera with me.

I left my GS Resources calling card & my cell phone number. I hope the owner gets in touch...

Theres a cherry 78ish Gs1000 in full fairing a couple blocks from my house...see him round town all the time...gorgeous bike old man takes care of it well. Too bad he lives on a crappy street and has no garage..

Aw, shoot Merk! You were in the Bay Area and didn't look anybody up? Give a shout out next time you're up this way. My garage is always open for a pitstop & a cold one!

Wow, I'm surprised to see GS Sightings buried on page 4. This used to be a popular thread.

So last Saturday...that would be May 3rd, we were riding around in the western Sierra's. Just outside of Sutter Creek. Paul F in the lead, then me, followed by Jadesystem, then Kent. All on GS1100's, I might add. Going the oposite direction was another GS1100 (could have been a 750). I only saw it for a second. But I would call it an '83 GS1100ES. It had the same paint job & body like jadesystem's bike.

I wonder who it was? Paul is the local guy, and he doesn't know who else has a GS in the area. We didn't turn around, and apparently neither did he. Too bad.

gs sighting!

i saw not one, but two! gs in lansing, MI today! one was a GK i recognized the fairing. probably a 1100.. looked alot like my g. another one that was a small twin, i'm guessing it was a 550? it had no tank badges or side badges, but i could see the body styling in it. was kind of ratted out.. but it actually looked cool. i wonder if either of them are members here..

550 is a 4cyl, if it were a twin look towards a 250, 400, 425 and 450 with the 450 being the most popular in the states as far as I know.

[seuadr]

ah must have been a 450 then it had 2 single pipes comming from the head.

Not to be a smart a$$, but I saw two of the most rare GS's, an 82 1000SZ and an 84 GSX750SE just this morning. In my garage! Har de har har....

Was heading out to my new pl;ace in Vernonia las Wednesday morning. I caught site of a clasic bike a half dozen cars ahead in the next lane. It took 12 miles before I was able to spy the mufflers and knew immediately that it was an old Suzuki. In another mile I was up along side of it and low and behold an 80's something 550L was buzzing it's way up the hill.
