It's a 1985 GS700E $1000. Blue and White. I got a better look at it. The header is rusted pretty bad and the paint is peeling off the front fender. Other then that it looks like a good deal. I have the phone number but I hesitate to post it to the whole world. So if you are interested PM me and I'll gived it to you.

Saw a GS riding through Goffstown NH at around 4:30 on Sat. March 26th. Looked like a blue and white 85 700ES? Not quite sure. Was it you???

Just saw a Beutiful GS500L when I went out for lunch. I saw it on 14th street in Atlanta Georgia right outside of the One Atlantic Center tower around 1:15pm. Can anyone claim it? or should I try to track down the owner and get another gsr member?

Someone owns an 81-83 or so 850GL in Manchester, NH. Looks like the owner might work at the Midas on 2nd street. Is the owner a member here? Show yourself!!

I have seen on many ocasions (actually I have seen lots of GS's in the Fargo Morrhead area) a GS1100 that is in a place not to far from my place, I even finaly stoped and left one of the GS Biz cards on his bike. Turned out he had already been purusing the sight for some time. LOL.

Spotted a GS 850 (SE I think?) in the parking lot of my own church! I don't even know who the owner is...didn't know there WAS another GS owner at my church! Trying to figure out who it is currently.

I've seen a couple of GS's pass by my house, and one in a carport, I just need to get some of those fancy little business cards printed so I can let the ppl know of this place.

Talked to the owner of the first one yesterday when I brought in my Yammie for service, second owner from new, it was a 79 model with the kicker, bought it when it was 3 or 4 years old, over 100.000 miles on the thing now, nice guy, told him about this site. of course Other one was the newer model, had the full Windjammer, complete with lowers and inner covers next to the engine, the other had the top part only, and a radio with stereo speakers , everything was still period it seemed,o ver 65k miles on that one.

I know I should take my camera everywhere I go....

Didn't know the GS's understood Dutch. 8O

Must've looked kind of funny, you standing there, talking to the bike. Did you "fondle" it too? Did it talk back to you?....if yes, in what? English?...Japanese?....

Of course it should read: "Talked to the owner of the first one yesterday "...whoops.

Saw a nice 1100L by Winstons In Marietta. Parked near a group of harleys. Wanted to stop in and chat but I was in a rush. Needed to be cleaned but was otherwise a pretty sweet bike.

Anyone going to claim it?

anyone?

I saw a beat to S*** 850 in Louisville CO. There were wires hanging all over the thing. Engine was pissing oil all over the street. If it runs it's a miracle. He needs to get that thing in the garage and start working on it. Maybe I should drop him a card and tell him leaving a GS to rot outside could bring the wrath of local GS riders.

Parked across the street is an old BMW boxer. It looks a little better and might even run. How dare he keep a Beemer in better shape than a GS!

White GS....

White GS....

Memorial Day weekend, Fossil Oregon Bike meet...amongst hundreds of Harleys in this nice valley campground...was a 80 GS with the funky square headlight...the torpedo taillight, she was primarily white with blue accents, a custom paint job for sure, it was parked in the campground more up the hill, towards the overlooking cliffs. Our 1150 was present & accounted for that day.

Church had Biker Sunday yesterday. 70+ bikes riding to local hospital and delivering toys for the kids there.

Only other vintage GS I saw was in fact a 1982 GS650E.

My bikes prettier twin. Light blue, but completely stock bodywork. Found the owner and gave him a card telling him bout this place. We'll see if he logs on.

Was just in PIttsburgh scoping out a place to live and saw what looked to be an 80 or 81 GS550L in immaculate condition in the Olive Garden parking lot. I left a note on the handle bar pinch bolts about the GSR and encouraged the rider to check it out. Who knows?

Can't believe it! After 3 or 4 years, another GS showed up at the local Hooters' bike night.

The young guy had a very nice 78 1000E, shiney black paint, drag bars, V&H pipe with RED rims. (looks cooler than it may sound)
The dude was running it with NO front fender ! The new paint won't last long and it will be a pain to keep clean, but it is tough looking 8)

He hadn't heard of the site and was very interested, maybe he will show up on the forum :?
