Glad you made it home safely and proud you made it through Memphis alive 
and yes... Since the rally I've been scouring craigslist for any kind of 850. 😄

Glad you're home safe and sound Norm. I expect we will return to the Missouri Ozarks again next year. Believe it of not Saturday's ride blew Friday's ride away.

Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

At one time or another, we have had a total of five 850s go through here, two of them are still here. Both of them have been on trips, with almost no problems. My wife's L made it out to Durango, Colorado then on to Four Corners before the ignitor failed as we were starting to head home. My G(K) was with me in New York when Mrs. Steve came for a visit. We took a 3-day weekend and did a loop around New England that was only about 750 miles, but with no problems. My son also rode that bike on the innaugural "Roo Rally" when Simon and Deb came to visit. 1000 miles on that trip, with only a blown headlight bulb.Originally posted by storm 64 View PostIf anyone has any doubts about touring on a Suzuki GS 850G just ask me.

You don't have to convince me about the 850's capabilities.

Sounds like you had great trip. Good thing you decided not to come for our rally. Those coming from the east got hammered with winter weather and dpep had to head for home when he was only a day short of my place. Colorado, great place, been far too many years since I ventured that way.'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/
