How to get a "What's New" feed without the Vortex, and without permanently quitting the Vortex -
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.Roger

Saw at autozone when passing bye, but had to get to an appointment. Saw it yet on return trip when had to get somewhere also, but took time to stop to get pics. THought I should make some more of the GSR cards to carry with me.
Engine looks to be 83.
General size of engine, and the cam caps make me thing 650, .... 83 GS650G.
I suspect maybe GL but front forks dont look like it.
Maybe sometime I might see again and have time to stepp inside.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

On my ride this evening (first time that had GK out since our mishap 12 weeks ago), I caught up to two bikes, one looked like a 70s vertical twin and other a GS.
One of them had a bandanna fly off, so we stopped along side of road.
THey had jackets with patches of something like "Oil Leakers" (round patch, no rockers, no MC). Said had just put the old Bates bags on the GS for a recent round-the-lake trip.
Just chatted quickely, I took a quick picture, they said were on way back to Grand Rapids, I said I was about to turn around back the other way. I did have a GSR card to give. And then we were back underway.Last edited by Redman; 09-15-2019, 03:01 PM.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

I've waited a while but finally uploaded this pic on PB. We visited Dublin, Ireland in March of this year (2019) and I saw this little GS with some contraption on the back.

Buahahahahahaha!
Maybe???
Perhaps a Grubhub delivery service?
I love that the little GN125H has a single front disc and rear drum brake.

EDIT: Review from here: https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-...ki/gn125/1994/
With incredibly low running costs, modest but useful urban performance and funky retro looks, the Suzuki GN125 is an ideal about-town motorcycle or learner bike. Incredibly easy to ride, with a reliable engine and minimal maintenance, the Suzuki GN125 is forgiving and a great confidence-builder. Lousy brakes and finish let it down a bit but, for a real world workhorse, the Suzuki GN125 is a bargain.Last edited by GSXR7ED; 09-15-2019, 11:26 AM.GS750TZ V&H/4-1, Progressive Shocks, Rebuilt MC/braided line, Tarozzi Stabilizer[Seq#2312]

I thought only old British bikes marked their territory.

Dublin, Ireland in March 2019 was surprisingly warm!
Ed
EDIT: I thought the piece of material on the one end of the handle bar was a balaclava...maybe a hand warmer but they weren't needed that day.Last edited by GSXR7ED; 09-15-2019, 12:42 PM.GS750TZ V&H/4-1, Progressive Shocks, Rebuilt MC/braided line, Tarozzi Stabilizer[Seq#2312]

GS550L Watkins Glen, NY
Owner was working in the gas station it was parked at. He was as interesting as his bike.

Saw this nice looking (1979?) GS 550E here at UNM today. Had to stop and check it out. No owner in sight though.

Saw this shiny one at a dealership in Le Noirmont, Switzerland, a few weeks ago. Looks like an 81 or 82 model to me, but I wouldn't know for sure.
It was part of this cool ensemble...
