Greetings Everyone,
I'm new to joining forums, but not new to riding and working on motorcycles. I found The GSResourses Forum today while searching for new tires for the 1980 GS1100E I bought 1 year ago this month (see avatar). I had many questions regarding today's tire sizing versus old school 80's sizing. While scrolling through the various comments and discussions, I found, unlike U2, what I was looking for. So being a "GS" forum, how could I resist. At age 16, two years after moving to Florida in 1978, I got a 78' GS750E. Sweet bike. I've since discovered that the 80' GS1100E is the direct desendant of the 78' GS750E. Cool stuff. The kind of cool stuff cats here talk about. So if the shoe fits!

Peace,
Rossiter.
