Going down US-322/Mayfield Rd. East. Past chesterland and around fowlers mill. Blew past a 1000 or 1100E sitting at a light on my right. It was a bigger E model because of the fairing and headlight shroud. Stopped at the bottom of a hill for a few minutes and hoped he was coming my way, unfortunately he did not. Does anyone know who this was? I was on an all original black GS450GAZ.
 
Yesterday.
At Muskegon Bike Time, on the main street.
(6 blocks of bikes on boths sides of street and two rows down the middle on the main street, and on the next street over 6 blocks all down one side, and all the side streets in between on both sides of street. For more pics see Muskegon Bike Time posting)
Saw the 4th GK that I have ever seen. And it was quite nice, all stock, all there, shiney, stock seat, not all sun faded, with a cycle sound system.
And I had camera.
Anybody here ?

2nd: the one I got (2006)
3rd: one a guy in chicago area was parting out on ebay, and I got some parts (2007).
4th: this one.

Friday late afternoon, good paintjob on an 83 GS750... Too bad the paint job was over the existing paint and decals... I even got to ride it... the bike is mechanically sound and there should be a small fix or two because of the PO... and one of the guys from work bought it for 1K... I'll see if I can get him on here....
 
Ran into another GS450 on the freeway yesterday. Was a GS450E, probably an 84. Blue, white. Guy was really cool, wearing all the gear. Fell in with him and proceeded to carve through traffic until we both got off at the warren exit in lakewood, but went separate ways. Ran into him on the Jennings changeover. Wanting to follow him and invite him to the site if he didn't know about it but I had to go somewhere and didn't know how long it would be until he got to where he was going.

This sounds very much like the St. Louis area. Where are you located?

Edit: Eh, nevermind. Just saw your previous post. Location of that one doesn't sound familiar at all.
 
Saw what looked to be another GS L model, maybe a 450, riding in East Lansing last night. Rider saw us but we were going different ways. I was riding two-up, my wife in red on the back. Pretty fun seeing any older japanese bike here, let alone a GS.
 
come out to the west side, you'll see me on my 1100 alot, mebby even 2up with my fiencee :)
 
Don't know if anybody caught it but last night on the 6:30 EST ABC news they had a short piece about how a lot of folks were pulling old motorcycles that had sat for years from barns and under covers in the back yard and bringing them in for rehab so they could ride them again to save gas. Had interviews with a few shop owners who stated they were backed up for two months. A couple of shots of GS 400, GS 650G etc. Also had an interview with a fellow who stressed the importance of training course for new riders. Pretty fair and balanced piece and I'm glad they stressed the safety course for new riders. They also stated quoting some government agency that riding a bike was 5 times more dangerous than driving a car.
 
My 550L (left) made a friend in the parking garage by my office! It's an 82 650L shaftie. They get to hang out in the shade most days while us working stiffs pretend to work... and post on thegsresources :D

GS on the Schyulkill

GS on the Schyulkill

Last night while heading down to Manayunk to watch a member of my MC win a battle of the bands for a local radio station, I saw a GS1000G on the expressway by King of Prussia and then getting back on at Conshohocken, was this rider any one here? Unfortunately I was caging it, so I had no chance to let this rider know I was a GS rider as well.
 
I've seen a couple GS's... my neighbor has a 78 GS550 (for sale) pretty ratty but runs well and my buddy bought a 77 GS750.. also a little rough had been sitting under a tree for a couple years.. he plans on fixing it up as he goes... I'll try to get up some pics...
 
:DYesterday while riding from Beckley WV to Fayetteville WV a GS850 Suzuki passed me little did I know it was dped.Hello Don hope you guys had a good time.
 
Seen a 550L in at TriCity Cycle in Waterloo a few times this year. In rougher, but still nice shape. Black with blue, shield and bags. Was an older fella, bout late 50's early 60's. Having carb troubles and the dealer guys weren't much help for his questions. They wanted him to bring it in so they could snag some cash on a cleaning and tune up. He left frustrated. Would have loved to have chatted and offered some help, but was in too big of a hurry. Haven't seen him since.

Robert, we missed you and your shiny GSXR at the restaurant. You missed some good food. We expect to see you next year, but you have to promise to put some dirt on that showroom 1150 you rode in on last year. It made the rest of us look like we were on old bikes. You need to get a pic of that thing up here on the site and soon.
 
Leduc, AB, This morning at 7:30 What looked like a GS750T rode into the Fribrex plant.
Anyone here?
 
Looked in my garage. An 1100EZ, an 1100ED, and a '78 GS750. Outside is another '78 GS750. Life is tough when one only has a single car garage! :(
 
i285 on the East side of Atlanta 8/18/08 around 10am.

Sadly I was caging it, worse still I was the passenger. Worse STILL I was buried in my laptop and just happed to glance up and see what looked like a GS750T with cafe bars and black wrap on the headers dropping behind on the right. Grey metallic tank, anyone here? Looked sweet in the few seconds I had!
