[82Shafty]

Yup, we were riding these and would have welcomed the other GS into the group.

Hi,
On Thursday we were walking near our house along a street that is now a construction detour. A really nice Wes Cooley went by. I was too surprised to flag the guy down.

Cheers,
Lyle

Saw a GS on the way home from work today, and was admiring it when the owner walked up. Doug said his Brother was the original owner, and he was taking the bike to the local motorcycle mechanic. His '81 GS1000L is in pretty nice shape!

I invited him to the forums, so perhaps we'll have another new face around here soon.

Anyone ride a GS in Brookpark/Parma Ohio?

Anyone ride a GS in Brookpark/Parma Ohio?

I just finished working Saturday night (June 28th) and on the way home I stopped at the Speedway gas station at the corner of W 130th Street and Snow Road on the border of Brookpark and Parma Ohio (Cleveland Suburbs)

It was a few minutes before 10:30 pm and someone pulled in on a Suzuki to get gas, I think it was a GS, straight seat that looked like it needed some work. I never was able to get a better look at it or talk with the owner.

Does this one belong to anyone here?

Not REALLY A GS, but someone around these here parts has a Gamma! How cool is that!! It was dark, and the owner was a bit shy, so here ya go....

Yesterday, on I-5 northbound, just shy of exit 82, an 850G with a windjammer and saddlebags. Nice shape.

This morning on the way to work, NE Ohio, 271 South before the 480/422 split. A guy on what was an older Suzuki. It looked more modern than my bike in regards to the tail and overall styling, it might have been a GSR but it was definitely an older bike. Oh, and the guys plate said "SECKS".

Anyone know who this is? I thought the plate was pretty amusing.

In Leduc AB. Yesterday, Canada Day, at the Royal Canadian Legion.
An 80 (?) GS1000G with a vetter and bags. Middle aged gent with a sparkly open faced helmet. I saw him suit up and as he pulled away he let 'er rip! Sounded awesome!

I've passed a guy riding an 1100GK several times on Fort Henry Drive in Kingsport, TN. Is there any chance you're monitoring this board? If so, drop by Green Spring Marine sometime, I'd like to talk with you.

Was at Sawdust Days Here in Oshkosh, WI. I saw a 80-82 850GL with a Windjammer fairing..... Anyone on here know of the bike?

 

[seuadr]

[nathan12]

two 1982 suzuki gs 1100's where I live. I own one and i used to own the other one. also I have recently noticed a gs 650 running around town, going to have to find out who that was.

Last Friday, a very nice two tone brown GS850 (1980-82) with an old Aero frame mounted fairing at 17th and O in Lincoln, NE.

Headed west, into the sunset. Perhaps it was a dream.

I saw a very nicely restored black GS1000 sitting in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Jerseyville, Illinois about a week ago. I wish we had access to GS Resource business cards to place on bikes we see like that. Couldn't convince my wife to stick around long enough to wait for the owner to come out.

Might have to come up with something I can just print out and stick in my wallet for times like that.

Here's one I saw

Here's one I saw

in the next closest bigger city to me(38K people, I live in a relatively small town of 1800) today in the AM, just before I downloaded the GSR business card file!! I was in town for a Dr. appt. Hey, I got a question for the Forum, Doesn't anybody have cameras on their phones like me? This thread is boring without PICTURES!!!

and from the other side:

looks like the guy needs some help with running lean from the looks of that 4-into-1 header. Man I wish I had just thought of printing off some GSR business cards earlier.

Hey, I got a question for the Forum, Doesn't anybody have cameras on their phones like me? This thread is boring without PICTURES!!!

I agree. Unfortunately, I have a very old phone (Cingular Nokia) that I badly need to replace. No way to take pics with it (it's even missing buttons...LOL!).

I saw a red 1100 or 1150E last night in Mason, going the other way on Snider road. It was about an '83 with wheelie bars and a mean sounding pipe. Riding two up without helmets. Unfortunately, I was heading out to get a new battery, so I had to suppress the urge to wave before I smacked the door.

P.S. charging the new sealed battery at 14.01@2k/13.25@5k, in case you're wondering.
