GS Sightings

[Burque73]

We were eating dinner at Frank's Chicken And Waffles last night and two vintage GS's rode by. It was near another member's house, but neither belonged to him so I really think that was just coincidental.

The first was a red 82 or 83 GS 750 or 1100E. The second was an even quicker glimpse of an older model, cafe type build with a black tank and the typical big empty space between the engine and rear wheel.

My back was to the road so I was rubbernecking to see these bikes. That red one was a beauty from what I saw. Glad to see these being ridden.

Found this on utube, nice music. Wow, 2500 miles with no break downs!!!

2500 miles on clubmans with no biological breakdown!

Actually, for that rider, it looked like a reasonable posture for highway speed. Especially on the rear pegs.

Spotted the twin to my red 83 750E the other day. Only a block from my house. Unfortunately, he was heading the opposite direction or I would have tried to pull him over for a chat.

Here is another picture that shows the tank rack. Now I totally do not like Tank Bags on any of my motorcycles, but a tank rack on my 850g would be great! ☺

Terrific looking T.
I had to look that "tank rack" up.
This article says it was Standard Issue on the late 1970 model.

Exquisite Motorcycles

As I was heading to the slot tracks in Canton, since it was Saturday, I figured I'd stop by Action Yamaha/Suzuki in Alliance to check out (drool over) the 5 mile 791000S. While chit chatting with the counter lady, she told me I should check out the 500 that a customer just dropped off. After going through some "employee only" doors I made my way back to the service department. Wow, a fully restored T500! (not sure of the year) Actually it my be over restored. Even has the tank rack! What a beautiful motorcycle. What a beautiful day! 🌞

Those 250s would make a fun cafe project.

Thank you but no - not an L fan; don't even like riding on Charmayne's when I test stuff out or move it for her

Hey, Mr Scott Cowboy, want a 3rd 550?



Saw this yesterday at... well, you can see where...

Oh, wait, this is an L (not a T).
