Well... that is a sad sight indeed... and it only just fit in that van by the looks too.

On with the 1100 then and you must show us all what you can do

And congrats on your award!

Hope to see the new owner on here soon!

I hope to see the new owner on here too.

There she is. Will it be the last time I see my little GS450?


Today, my school had an award ceremony. I won Student of The Year . And I have my GS450 to thank for that...


The GS450 help made me who I am now, my career goals, a new hobby... All of that. I'll tell you, it was VERY hard to let my GS450 go. There's something in my eye... . I never thought I'd feel so attached to a bike. I got the bike on 6-3-10. So I was one day short of owning her for a year...

Like I said, if the new owner decides that he doesn't want the GS450 anymore, I'd be first to know.

I think he'll do a good job taking care of it. It's his first bike too. Said that he was going to weld in brackets for the seat and make a seat pad, paint it, etc. I can't wait to see it happen!

Congrats again on passing the assessment, I hate exams and I still need to do them every now and then for industry certification, and I still get that really nervous feeling every time like a school boy

Thanks guys! I was a nervous wreck when I presented it and I had that really nervous feeling when I showed them the bike. They said, "Let's hear it run." Well... It didn't. But they knew I worked hard on this and they saw videos of it running the week before so I passed.

Anyways, the GS450 has been sold for $550 to another guy my age. Pretty cool! They're going to pick it up later today. And I will make him join here and continue the build.

And I will pick up the GS1100E this Friday. So excited!

Nice job man! I know all about the stress of presenting your work to a panel of critics. I've been doing it for 4 years now in architecture school. Nothing worse than busting your chops for months, including many days with no sleep, and having the panel not like your work.

But a pass is a good thing for sure! Congratulations! I know its kind of a sour ending to the 450 but trust me better things will come down the line. Use all your knowledge that you discovered and apply it to that 1100 (hopefully ).

High school is a time to learn and figure out what you want to do, I'd say working on bikes has a lot to do with your future. You should be proud of what you've done. WAY more than many kids ever did in my high school.

Well done FC.

Congratulations

Last week on May 25, I presented my bike with a Powerpoint. I passed.

I really wish I was closer to you, I'd take it off your hands in a heartbeat.

I wish you were too. People keep flaking out .

I liked it too. But it has problems and I can't legally ride it it anymore.

I checked out the 1100 today. Took a few pictures but not much. I'm at school right now so I can't upload it. Just wait later today! I think I'll put it in "GS Motorcycle Discussion."

Well? Did you buy the big boy? I wanna see it!

I feel so disappointed, lol. I liked this 450


I don't really understand your logic at all, but it's your thing.

Let's see the 1100!
