Saw a GS850L today on a service call at ITT in Guelph. Had a Vetter fairing and sound system.... and um, lots of rust, peeling clear, and "creative" parts. Was pretty sad. The guy left before I did, but I saw him leave. Bike ran like..... um, well, like it looked. Rough. Popped and backfired quite a bit. I cried a little as I watched him drive away. :cry: Have a picture on my phone, but I'll be danged if I know how to get it off of it and onto my computer. :-k
 
Red with white stripe Skunk went by on Hwy 7/8 today as I was walking from my car. Heard the distinct sound of a sweet vintage machine and couldn't resist looking. Looked to be in really nice shape, and had a bikini fairing. Was riding two up heading west towards Stratford. Anyone? Would have loved for him to stop by.
 
Saw and helped a guy with an 80 GS850G at the Walnecks Vintage cycle swapper today. As well as a 79 GS1000L that was cut all to hell and back, and had some god awful tank from god only knows what on it. Purely a shame what had been done to it, and it was a good looking frame and motor other than that.
 
GS near Cinci today

GS near Cinci today

Saw a Black GS with a cafe fairing that was heading east Hwy 32 going past the United Dairy Farmers store in Newtown at about lunchtime on Monday the 25th. Rider had a black helmet & a black/red jacket.

Just wondered if it was somebody from here.

FYI: Newtown is kind of an eastern suburb of Cincinatti, OH for those that don't know.
 
750 at Grand Haven beach

750 at Grand Haven beach

750 parked on street next to Grand Haven beach, a 78, maybe 79(?). I left a card. Looked nice, stock. Parked next to a 69 BMW ( I quess 69 only becuse it had a 69 licence plate).
 
GS at Plum Island, MA; Sat afternoon 13 Sep

GS at Plum Island, MA; Sat afternoon 13 Sep

Out for a local ride in Massachusetts with my brother - he has a blue Road King, I was riding my Katana.

Out on Plum Island, Newburyport, MA, saw an "L" model out and about - anyone we know?
 
You could sell just the front end & wheel for what you paid for it if the fork tubes aren't pitted! Ray.
 
Saw a guy on a newer GSXR and his buddy putted up behind him on a 79 GS850G. Full on OMG king and queen seat... vetter fairing... it ran "ok" and the guy has only been riding for a few weeks.

I got a business card from his buddy on the GSXR... I'll post my info to them later.

Possibly me I live all of two minuets from the lights on route 1A that lead to Plumb Island and ride black 550L. I was out and about that day but not out to the island.

Today - Rue de la Tombe Issoire, Paris, France

A gem amongst the Bergmans and BMWs.
 
There's a partial 650 in my driveway... and on my porch ... and in my living room ... and in my basement.

So I'm leaving my house last Saturday, get to the intersection at the end of the road and see a nice red 83 1100e coming down the road, give him a big thumbs up, but don't understand why he doesn't seem much interested in my 82 1100e. As I pulled out of my side street I realized I was on my FZ1 not the GS, Doh.

Now that was funny right there. :D
 
I saw a Gs-GK on route 2 MA east near route 13 a little before 1pm on 10-1 It was black I think but I just saw it for a second as I was getting off the road. We waved at each other, I was ridding my white Gs1100gk anybody on here driving the bike ?
 
Saw a1981 gs650g with 9k miles about 1 mile from work today, owned by a gent that we deal with.
never knew he had it.
 
I just saw an old GS in New Lenox IL, looked to be an GS850G. I did get a good look, but it looked like a fine machine, glad to see it out not much riding season left.

Hope it was someone on the forum.
 
Any GS Owners in the Tri-Cities TN area?

Any GS Owners in the Tri-Cities TN area?

I've seen several around here in the last couple of months but have been unable to talk with the owners. Either we're passing in opposite directions or I'm putting on my helmet while one drives by. Like someone else who posted here recently, I saw a GK stopped at a light that I was hoping to catch up to. I was on my GTS and the guy didn't give me a second look. Wrong bike to be on at the time. :(
Sure would be nice to connect with some of the other GS riders around here.

Thanksgiving GS in Carmel Maine

Thanksgiving GS in Carmel Maine

Route 69 in Carmel, Thankisgiving day. I think it was a GS850 or 1000G '79 to '81. It may have been a 750E.

One of you?
