I am getting the itch for something. It will likely either be an old two-stroke or an '05 GSX-R750 though. I really like the 20th anniversary edition GSX-R. And with the wife's new job we can afford it much easier now.

I saw three GS bikes today... For those of the Chicagoland crew Azemoth (The guy who crashed saturday of the big galena ride a year ago) bought himself a red and black GS750#... it's in decent shape and he got it for 1500$...

They guy he bought it from as an 85GS550ES in pristine and I mean showroom condition in red and black with the lockhart lowers on it....

He also has a GS1100 with a turbo set up on it... that thing sounds sweet as all get out....

I gave him the site info and hopefully he'll post a bit.
 
Went to the Laconia Bike Week hillclimbs on Wednesday and saw a GS750 set up for climbing. It was stripped down and had an extended swingarm to give it a longer wheelbase. Had a kickstarter so it must have been a 77-79. Never did see the owner.
 
Saw a poor ol' 550 yesterday, no one lavished love on this scoot, one look and you could see its lot in life was to be ridden hard and put up wet. One of the early models, a 77-79. Filthy pods, beat up, black and rusted 4 into 1. Taped up seat, faded, cracked paint, but still displaying the almost 30 grand on the clock with pride. Bike was in the tire shop parking lot by the Beaumont Library in Lexington, parked in the tailight lit mode. Hope that was done on purpose, after running errrands on the Connie I went back by and it was still there, still lit.

Why is it this is the kind of bike you wish you could rescue? Maybe the present owner intends to really fix the old bike up to its former glory, hope so.
 
Gs750e

Gs750e

Yesterday, while rolling down I-80 East to North Platte, Ne. ,in a mini van doing 75 or more mph, was passed by an 80 or 81 GS750E with Missouri plates. This bike looked to be very original, clean and without a doubt in very good mechanical condition. You just about have to be a member aren't you?
 
Saw a nice looking black 550E on College Ave during lunch today... Had red pin stripes.... sure looked nice.

GS 250T Spotted near Lexington, KY.

GS 250T Spotted near Lexington, KY.

Thursday night Bike Night at the Waterfront 6/29, spotted a blue GS250T. Tank a little bashed on the right side, bit neglected over the years, only 4700 miles on the bike. Looks like original rubber :( . Parked the Concours next to it,waited a while, but missed the owner while I was checking out a new Rocket 3.
 
Saw an absolutley BEA-utiful 450 downtown OKC on Mondau 7/3. You know, the one with the new style seat??.. Anyway, I think the owner works at the movie theater in Bricktown. This thing was Showroom, I tell you what.
 
I saw a BEAUTIFUL GS1000S "Wes Cooley" replica here in Carbondale Illinois. On Reed Station Road turning west onto IL-13 at about 11am today. I stopped and waved from my white T-bird. The GS1000S was very clean with a set of hard black saddle bags. Looked like this one:

I saw a GS in Rome. The City of the scooter

I saw a GS in Rome. The City of the scooter

I went with my wife and daughter to Rome for a week and was taken by the number of bikes everywhere in that city. No matter where I looked there were bikes (mostly scooters) but not a GS to be found. When we were in a cab, heading to the train station we passed a Piazza and there it was. I am thinking 550 or smaller old school GS. Those round cam caps just smiling up at me.

FYI The bike looked to be very well cared for and in excellent shape.

My disappointment is that I didn't find the rider and find out if they had a regional ride coming up soon.
 
My wife mentioned that there's a bike like mine "up by the school". She thought is was the same model. Nah, I thought. Not in this town.
Sure enough, just one year off, a 79 GS1000! Crappy purple paint, bad oil leak from a bad oil cooler install. Interesting fellow with questionable safety standards.

Then in Hudson's Hope, B.C. I spotted an 83 GS650L at a gas station. Chatted with the owner a bit. He had ridden it from Maine and was headed to Alaska!
