    Saw a GS850L today on a service call at ITT in Guelph. Had a Vetter fairing and sound system.... and um, lots of rust, peeling clear, and "creative" parts. Was pretty sad. The guy left before I did, but I saw him leave. Bike ran like..... um, well, like it looked. Rough. Popped and backfired quite a bit. I cried a little as I watched him drive away. Have a picture on my phone, but I'll be danged if I know how to get it off of it and onto my computer.

      Red with white stripe Skunk went by on Hwy 7/8 today as I was walking from my car. Heard the distinct sound of a sweet vintage machine and couldn't resist looking. Looked to be in really nice shape, and had a bikini fairing. Was riding two up heading west towards Stratford. Anyone? Would have loved for him to stop by.

        Saw and helped a guy with an 80 GS850G at the Walnecks Vintage cycle swapper today. As well as a 79 GS1000L that was cut all to hell and back, and had some god awful tank from god only knows what on it. Purely a shame what had been done to it, and it was a good looking frame and motor other than that.

          GS near Cinci today

          Saw a Black GS with a cafe fairing that was heading east Hwy 32 going past the United Dairy Farmers store in Newtown at about lunchtime on Monday the 25th. Rider had a black helmet & a black/red jacket.

          Just wondered if it was somebody from here.

          FYI: Newtown is kind of an eastern suburb of Cincinatti, OH for those that don't know.

                One on Craigslist

                Think this is salvagable? Considering picking it up and parting it:

                  You could sell just the front end & wheel for what you paid for it if the fork tubes aren't pitted! Ray.

                    Saw a guy on a newer GSXR and his buddy putted up behind him on a 79 GS850G. Full on OMG king and queen seat... vetter fairing... it ran "ok" and the guy has only been riding for a few weeks.

                    I got a business card from his buddy on the GSXR... I'll post my info to them later.

                      Possibly me I live all of two minuets from the lights on route 1A that lead to Plumb Island and ride black 550L. I was out and about that day but not out to the island.

                            There's a partial 650 in my driveway... and on my porch ... and in my living room ... and in my basement.

                              So I'm leaving my house last Saturday, get to the intersection at the end of the road and see a nice red 83 1100e coming down the road, give him a big thumbs up, but don't understand why he doesn't seem much interested in my 82 1100e. As I pulled out of my side street I realized I was on my FZ1 not the GS, Doh.
