      Red, red, red....I don't live in Chicago....

      I live in the 'burbs....about 20 miles out...But still, it's a little more than a day ride to the Netherlands

          Ah, Chicago to Netherlands is 4700 miles.
          Carol Stream to the Netherlands is 4720 miles.
          Okay, now I see why you did not ride your bike to the Netherlands, it is 4720 miles.

          Your picture by the windmill, sure did look like you rode quite a distance.

            Yeah I did!

            ....
            AND I BOUGHT A GS!!!!

            Hell Of a deal on this one! Pretty Minty but totally stock 81 GS650L.

            21K miles... Runs phenomenal... New tires, Rebuilt brakes, Forks, Cables, lines, fluids, plugs, coils, R&R, stator, battery... Chrome is in GREAT SHAPE... I can't believe this thing... I got a hell of a deal on it! Put about 30 miles on it... I can't get over how perfect this thing is. I broke in the tires for the PO... He's the second owner and dropped huge coin on it for his wife, who didn't want it.

              Welcome back to the GS insanity. I think of all the "L"s that is my favorite.

                I'm an L freak anyway... Tkent will want me crucified... It's ok. It looks just like my 750L did... Except this time with the decade under my belt I'm not going to molest this one.

                      Did a 160 mile loop to Mt. Baker Ski area, weather was perfect, mid 60's. The road is a bit beat up, and dirty, with a lot of fresh tar snakes.
                      The snakes seem better the faster you go. I stopped for 20 seconds to snap photo, otherwise was in the saddle. That's Mt. Shuksan, Baker is hidden unless ur on top of the ski area.
                      GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

                        Got a chance between showers to get a quick run down to Fremantle port on the GS850 and met up with some fellow riders. The bike still revs too high and needs the carbies done again, after a dodgy mechanic broke the mixture jet off in the body.
                        I forgot how well these handle though the twisties, and had a bit of fun on the way home.
