I spotted TWO GS1000's, a GS550E and a GS650E today. But as someone will point out they are all in the family.....

Well, since you weren't actually riding any of the GS's mentioned.....I guess you could say you "spotted" them........

I spotted two Gs bikes today and yesterday and the day before that...

You know the problem might resolve itself if I just left the garage door down. But damn I like seeing those bikes in there.

Saw a '82 Katana in Nagoya Japan today. Wasn't pristine, had a dent in the tank and missing the engine labels. Wasn't in too bad of shape overall, but it had some pretty crappy header wrap on the pipes.

I saw a nice looking 80's GS in Riverbank a couple days ago. It was parked on thelawn in a trailer park my friend lives in. Didn't catch the model though.

Riding my Red Hotrod to the gym tonight, I spotted a '79 GS750 in the back of a pick up truck. We were southbound on the 101 in rush hour traffic. So he was moving kinda slow. I split the lane on his right, moved left in front of him, then let him catch up.
He just bought the bike & was heading home to San Diego. I wish I had the time to chat with him, or give him my GS Resources business card. But I did give him a shout out to check the web site. I hope he remembers...

I've seen several GS's the last few days, it seems there are several 550's in the area and I've seen one other 1000 besides mine. I know my brothers old 1000 is around somewhere as well.

Last night I was "oot 'n' aboot" and spotted a GS loaded with stuff. Sleeping bag, traveling gear.
I pulled in to the Mac's it was parked at and waited for the owner. We exchanged pleasantries and compared bikes. His was an 81 GS750L in REALLY rough shape. He bought it in Lillouette, (for the BC'ers) for $300 and rode it up to FSJ. Just got to town looking for work. Frank is his name.
Engine was grimey, dented tank, blown fork seals, busted front sig, missing a shock bolt, one missing grip. Really a rat bike.
I told him about the forum and gave him my number. Maybe I can help him get it a little more presentable.

I saw a 550 the other day and left one of my gs cards on the seat.Have not heard from him yet.I hope he is lurking about somewhere on the forum.I dont know why someone would ride a bike that would be dangerous on the road.Your just asking for trouble.

I caught a glimpse of what I believe was a YellowFranks yesterday on I-20, outside of Birmingham, heading East.
It's a real honor to be able to see such a rarity in the flesh. I truly feel blessed.
Too bad I was headed the opposite direction, or I might have been able to stop and chat with him/her for a while when they pulled over for gas.
:-D

1980 Something GS550M Katana! :shock: In Oakland, Tn.
Thursday after work I was in my s-10 about two blocks from home when I saw a GS650GL on the sidewalk with the seat off. There was a car nearby and two guys were talking. I parked on a side street and walked over to introduce myself and mention this site. It turns out they were exchanging info because of an accident. The GSer ran into the Escort when the escort stopped. The damage? Escort's bumper totally trashed(A HOLE in it!) and the GS is messed up pretty bad. Front end is junk,gas tank dinged,various scrapes to exhaust,frame appeared bent,and the handlebars permanently point to Canada. A cop shows up and gives Mike(GS guy) a ticket. He appears to be reasonably OK,had a full face helmet ,boots and a riding jacket. Had a tear in his knee that looked like it needed a half dozen or so stitches(jeans ripped,imagine that). I offer to help if I can. We put the bike on my pick-up( I keep 1 ramp in the bed) and put it in my back yard. I then drive him to ER to get stitched up/checked out. I wrote my name and info(including my forum name,he has used this forum for info) and left. I remember telling him on the way to the ER "If you don't make arrangements to get the bike by August I'm gonna strip off some parts.hehe" I haven't heard from him since. I'm assuming he's OK,just wondering if I can use his plates to identify him. I forgot to get HIS info! Just a story I guess;I'm not gonna do anything for a couple weeks unless I here from him.:?

I Park my 650G outside of work today. I periodically look out the window to check on her. I noticed another bike next to mine. So out of boredem I wondered down to check it out. It's a white GS850G !! WOW!! With a cool ass quarter fairing to boot. I checked it out for about 15 minutes. the owner musta noticed my bike when he pulled in. Wonder if he was as excited to see another GS as I was (prob not right). I was going to leave a note on his bike,"great bike, love the fairing, see ya on thegsresources.com". But I decided not to. I'm in Philly, and I've learned not to invade others property, even if being friendly. If I catch him outside later, I'll definitely talk.
This was my first 850 up close. Can't believe how much larger the tank looks. It's definitely going to be my next step up, though I still think the 650 is the perfect city bike!!
EDIT --- NEXT DAY >>>>>>
So, I'm doing my usual mid-day inspection of my bike today, and a friend of mine who works in my building, asks me if it mine. I say hells yes. He tells me that the white 850 (I posted about above) is his. He got it a month ago!! I'm totally geeked!! It's an 81 GS850G. 50K on it. He thinks the "white" is a paint job. I told him about this site..obviously!! Look out Philly!!! GS's are on the prowl!!!
