    Katana and an '83 450L

    Coming home from the golf course Sunday with the clubs on my back, I whipped around the corner and nearly had to book a chiropractor appointment because I had to snap my neck around to get a better look at the 82 (?) 1000 Katana stopped at the curb. Wanted to make sure he was ok. He figured out I was waiting for him and rolled up to me. Got chatting a bit, and he was just getting ready to head out on a Rockies trip with his brother and nephew. HE was not a GSRer, but I've pointed Chris this way. His is a nice example, but he was looking for stock pipes...

    Then last night, rolling after getting pictures for the riding game, I saw this:




    Turns out it had been ridden out from Ontario 2 1/2 years ago by the current owner's brother in law, and he left it with him. I don't think I would have wanted to ride it back either. At least he had highway pegs on it:




    Pointed him this way as well.

    '83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)

        I was cramming gas into my tank today on the way home from work when a guy came up and asked me "750?" I said yes, and he said "79 or 80?" and I said 79, and he said 'nice bike!' and was gone. Wasn't a really good place to talk obviously. So, I guess I was the sighting, but I did spot a GS fan!

        On a side note I saw a really clean Z1 yesterday, very nice. I nodded to the rider as they went by.

          And who would that be or are we going to be kept in suspense?

                Allie: I was no where near New Jersey today but I was riding my Z1 this afternoon. What a gorgeous day for a bike ride.

                    Went for a ride yesterday afternoon on my 650E, saw a 850 on RT114 in Sutton NH waiting to turn on to 114. He followed me for a few miles and must have turned off the road.

                        did you notice how you can see yourself in both of the cam end covers? it's cool but also kinda weird.

                                I knew they were a bunch of S&S chromeophiles around here.
