Hello from Canada

Hi folks,

So my dad passed away Oct 2012. One of the things he left behind was his all original 1977 GS750. He bought it new in 1977 for $2799 CDN. This bike has been around my entire life (I was born in 1979), and is a part of my family now and I will never sell it. It's at the shop right now being safetied as it hasn't been on the road since 2008. I can't wait to ride it and am hoping to find a few others to ride with locally. Here is a pic I snapped of it before it headed to the shop.

I do have the side covers and mirrors I just took them off before it got loaded on the truck.

Welcome to the forum. That looks like a beauty you've inherited. I found the price your dad paid interesting. I bought my 83 750 new in 1984 for $3300. The 84 was selling for $3600 but I liked the styling of the 83 and saved 300 bucks. Looks like we had a little inflation going on during those 6 years. LOL

Yup $2799! I actually have the original bill of sale for it as well.

I live in southwestern Ontario.

South western Ontario? Why you have many GS riders nearby..Thee are probably more but immediate memory says you have some only a short distance over the border, in US of Eh? either via Sarnia or Niagara Falls, Thee may even be one in Sarnia, plus a couple north of Simcoe, and I believe at least two near Woodstock. Of course, there are also those from Hamilton, Mrs. Sausage, Toronto and eastward.

Ok...still pretty big area. Lol.. I grew up in Woodstock. Are you wanted by the law and don't wanna say the city?

Glad to see another Ontarian on the Forum! The '77 750 was a nice year, I lucked out in getting an '82 for my first bike. Recently chose a rebuild over an upgrade so I'd say I'm hooked.
