    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GS Sightings

I've only been riding my GS around for less than a week, and I already had a guy come up to me at the hardware store. He's got a '80 GS750. I saw a GS a could weeks ago in front of a local pizza place, but didn't have time to pull over for a better look. Now that summer has finally arrived here, I expect I'll see them around.

Can anyone tell what bar types these two 550's have?

Particularly the one on the left ( I assume ChicagoBob can tell me what his bike has)

Mine has the prancing pony setup on the teal 750 next image down.
I'm on my 2nd set of buy,try & return handlebars and would like to have a keeper next time.

Fellow GSRer Buddy. Met him at the Cracker Barrel in Malbis , Al. for the Eastern Shore Breakfast Bunch.

I was sitting at a red light at the intersection of Weaver Rd. and Dixie HWY (Rt. 25) in Florence, KY. I saw a bearded guy ride by on a GS 1100E (no helmet). I think it was a 1983, based on the paint, but that may have been changed some time in the last 30 years :rolleyes:
 
Katana and an '83 450L

Katana and an '83 450L

Coming home from the golf course Sunday with the clubs on my back, I whipped around the corner and nearly had to book a chiropractor appointment because I had to snap my neck around to get a better look at the 82 (?) 1000 Katana stopped at the curb. Wanted to make sure he was ok. He figured out I was waiting for him and rolled up to me. Got chatting a bit, and he was just getting ready to head out on a Rockies trip with his brother and nephew. HE was not a GSRer, but I've pointed Chris this way. His is a nice example, but he was looking for stock pipes...

Then last night, rolling after getting pictures for the riding game, I saw this:

Turns out it had been ridden out from Ontario 2 1/2 years ago by the current owner's brother in law, and he left it with him. I don't think I would have wanted to ride it back either. At least he had highway pegs on it:

Pointed him this way as well.
 
No photo of this one, but saw a nice looking blue GS750 at a red light yesterday here in Tacoma .. turns out it's one of us!
 
I was cramming gas into my tank today on the way home from work when a guy came up and asked me "750?" I said yes, and he said "79 or 80?" and I said 79, and he said 'nice bike!' and was gone. Wasn't a really good place to talk obviously. So, I guess I was the sighting, but I did spot a GS fan!

On a side note I saw a really clean Z1 yesterday, very nice. I nodded to the rider as they went by.

Allie: I was no where near New Jersey today but I was riding my Z1 this afternoon. :) What a gorgeous day for a bike ride.
 
Went out to the airport today to pick some mirrors sent to me by Jackb, thanks Jack, and I spotted this 1000...

Went for a ride yesterday afternoon on my 650E, saw a 850 on RT114 in Sutton NH waiting to turn on to 114. He followed me for a few miles and must have turned off the road.

did you notice how you can see yourself in both of the cam end covers? it's cool but also kinda weird.
 
Eric (781GS)...we keep telling you that your avatar is too small! Now post a larger version that we can actually see! :D
