About 2 weeks ago I thought I saw bribirds bike on the back of a truck on I-40 in NC near Raleigh, I told him too, he had to go check to make sure it was still in his garage. so... I guess I a black gs on I-40 East bound near Raleigh.

On my way to Philadelphia on Saturday evening, on the Blue Route, in a few miles of congestion...

there was a GS1000L* in the other lane. Black with gold trim, I think, in fair to decent condition.

I tried to get the guy's attention, but what are you gonna do in stop and go traffic, lol...


*I guessed it was a 79-81 1000L. Then I looked and saw that those are the only three years of the 1000L

riding home from work today on rt. 400, which is a divided highway, noticed a bike parked on the far side. the rider had dismounted and seemed to be pacing nervously. though i only had a quick glance i thought the shape of the bike looked familiar so, after carefully scanning the area for the man, i did a median crossing and went back to see what was up. dude had just bought the bike and was on the way home when it died on him. it was an 80 850G. i had seen it before, for sale at a local bike dealer for about a grand. seemed in pretty good shape. he had called the dealer and there was someone on the way. he'd run the battery down trying to get it going so i couldn't do much. checked a plug and it looked like it was running lean. when the mechanic showed up he put it on prime and attached a jumper battery and she fired right up. seems the guy didn't know where the reserve was and just ran out off gas. he was really excited about owning "a classic!" we all had a good laugh and of course i told him about the gsresources. rode with him for a while 'til i could legally turn back around and head home. i don't see too many gs's around here. i'm sure this guy will enjoy his new bike.

Last year in Ocean City MD during Bike week, I was riding around and saw a guy goin the opposite direction on a 81-83 Brown GS. I thought it was another 650. Later that night, I found it on a trailer. Turns out it was actually an 82 450G from PA. Yes I checked the vin to see the date.

Around my neighborhood (Joppa Rd. parkville, MD) there's a guy riding an 81-83 650G just like mine but his is the original color (Brown w/gold pin striping). I first saw him in my truck goin to the bar. A few days later, I was on my 650 (before I painted it), and saw him again. We waved, did a double take, and then gave me a thumbs up. I could tell he was laughin too.

This one is a couple of days late.

On Sunday, July 19th, I was heading south on AZ60 out of Wickenburg, heading for Phoenix. It was about 4pm, and we were about 10 miles out of town. I spotted a blue & white GS1150 on the northbound side. It was on the giddyup, so I only glimpsed it for a second. Unmistakeable though.

So who owns the beautiful blue and white checkered Kat I saw at the fancy fish place on Rt 1A in Newburyport, MA on July 10th or 11th during Newburyport Musicfest? Wide rear wheel, olins, etc... Wnyone here own that?
I took a picture which my phone immediately lost.

"checkered Kat " not to be confused with a checker cab - thing is wicked gawgeous!

Curious.

gs 550

I spoke with a young man in his early twenties, from McMinnville, Or.. He was headed south to Phenoix,Az. on his black, with red pin strippes GS 550. Told him he had a nice bike and good luck. It's a 100 plus here , I can only emagine what AZ. is like.

Today up at Alice' Restaurant, that's Hwy 84 & Skyline Blvd, I spotted a blue '81 GS750 or 1100E. A gal was riding. Spotted her twice, so she must patrol the territory. I sure would like to chat her up. Find out if she hangs out here.

On the way home with the "new" 900F in the pickup today saw a nice old 850G parked in Amherst,Ma. By intersection of 116 and 9. Had a plexi windshield on it.
