GS700 or 750 in Allegheny NF 7/4/10 weekend

GS700 or 750 in Allegheny NF 7/4/10 weekend

Saw a pretty nice GS700E or maybe it was a 750 Waaaaaay out in the woods of the Allegheny national forest parked on FR 552 on Monday. I didn't have a camera or a phone on me so no pic but it looked to be in good shape and well maintained so the bike or the owner has probably been here before.

I think it was dark grey with black seat and I'm almost positive it was a 700 by the lower edge of the seat and the seat trim pieces.

Was in Jacksonville, FL yesterday for work. Pulling into the Ramada Inn in Mandarin, and a silver (or the tank had the paint removed...couldn't really tell) GS 1000 (I think) was pulling out. Traffic behind him and me so I couldn't say "Hey, Cool GS man!"

Saw what appeared to be a GS 850GL blasting down highway 89 southbound couple days ago. Had a big ol' windshield and a milk crate strapped to the back. Kind of a brownish tank and a stepped seat, leading axle forks. Didn't get too good a look beyond that.

riding my 450 on my way to work this afternoon, saw a 650G in the HOV lane on 84 westbound on the way into and through Hartford. I think it got off the Flatbush exit. It looked really nice, I want to get one some day!

Went out for a coffee at work and saw a skunk with NH plates parked next to my 650 in the parking lot. Not sure if its a visitor or employee as its a pretty big building but great to see how the bikes always end up together.

Another reason I should keep my camera here, it was a VERY nice and clean bike. Made me almost want to wash mine... but till I get the new head and base gasket in its really not worth it.

saw this bike today in the parking lot of Best Buy in Manchester CT:

Thought it was a GS at the local Suzuki shop but it turned out to be a GN400. Still invited him to the site though.

Coming back from the Oshkosh air show I spotted these bikes out in the WI country.

I was thinking about looking for the owner of this one in the cafe it was parked by.

Not GS's. Just some bikes by my fav ice cream stop. Thats the Mrs. eyeing up the trike

Where's the picture?

It shows up in your quoted message for me.

[kerrfunk]

I see it in both messages. Maybe a different link will work:

If it doesn't show up, I blame solar flares.
It's a black 450 with a thin red stripe. I'm guessing 1980 450E

 

[davidduarte]

for whatever reason, I can't see it. It's possible that the stupid firewall at work is blocking it (I hate Barracuda!!), I'll have to recheck at home.

Saw a 82 or 83 E 12:30 at Newburyport traffic circle today red white and blue stripes going the other way to me so not able to get a better look . Also a Suzuki K11 at Todd's Farm flee market about 10 AM not often I see a bike older than mine.

Funny you mention that, driving the kids last night my radio was losing stations more than usual and had two playing on the same frequency at once... usually they space them out enough for the same number to avoid that.

Then I heard the station ID on another say it was from southern New Jersey. Must have been some solar flares playing with the FM bands last night.

Furthest I ever caught a rouge FM signal from was a country station coming in one morning from Georgia.

I saw an 850G (although I suppose it could have been an 1100G) on Talcottville Road in Vernon a day or 2 ago, it was blue, but not sure what year it was.

Binghamton, NY 8/11/10 around 5pm

I saw a nice looking GS on Riverside Dr headed towards Lourdes Hospital. Unfortunately I only got to see it out of the corner of my eye as it passed but it looked like a pretty clean bike and it sounded good. I think it was an '81 or '82 GS750 and it had a light colored tank, looked kind of gray/gold colored. It could have been just about any CC though, I was right next to the road and once I saw it he was past me.

wednesday night at empire dragway in leicester, ny i was racing my slightly modified '79 gs1000L and noticed a guy working on an older jap bike in the pits. turned out to be a beautiful, mint, blue '79 gs1000L. we talked a bit and raced each other several times. he said he bought it last year with only 6000 miles. i never got a chance to tell him about the gsr though. by the way, i took 3rd place.

82 650G in Grand Haven MI

82 650G in Grand Haven MI

Saw a what looked like a GS at a gas station in Grand Haven. Looked like maybe a 650G, black, stock.
Went around, came back for a second look,
Yep, black 650G with double gold stripes (so an 82 like the one I had for 20+ years).
Stopped an talked to Rob (Rob, you here yet? I remember the name correctly?)
Chatted a bit, gave a GSR card.
He said it is his first motorcycle, and he could use some advise on carbs. I said, I cant give too much advise on carbs, but the GSR would be the right place for that. Told him about the "carb cleaning tutorial with a hundred and some photos".

He said lived in another town (about 60 miles away).

He said he would look up the website.
