    Saturday, I went with the SFRC on their Spring Opener, about 70 bikes and 240 miles. I rode my GPz because it needed to be ridden. I didn't take many photos, here's a few of the bikes









    Perhaps the only clean FZR 400 outside of a museum- I can't remember when I last saw one that wasn't thrashed



    This guy broke his throttle cable and rigged this up so he could finish, using the vice grips as a paddle throttle



    The view at the afterparty
    1978 GS 1000 (since new)
    1979 GS 1000 (The Fridge, superbike replica project)
    1978 GS 1000 (parts)
    1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
    1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)
    1970 450 Mk IIID (THUMP!)
    2007 DRz 400S
    1999 ATK 490ES
    1994 DR 350SES

      But I am thinking that is a 78 or 79 850G.
      Although usally owners of a 78 or 79 will have picture show otherside just annoy all of us that miss our kickstarters.

      .

      It's a 79 (mostly )

      Here's your kick-stand-jealousy-pic. Just like you requested.

        Great Day for it!

        I put about 110 miles on the GS 550!

        And about 40 on the Bandit.

        Pretty beat cause I did about 4 hours of yard work before I went for the ride...

          Both bikes look beautiful.
          It is nice to have choices also.

          BTW, thanks for the nice sized pic's. I hate tiny pic's of bikes myself.

            Rode to work today and on the way home out of the corner of my eye, I spot at GS in a parking lot with the owner sitting beside it drinking a pop. So of course I turned around and as I approached him he started to grin at me, then asked me if I was Trevor? Turns out it was Gearhead13 (Richard). Never met face to face before. Sat and shot the sh*t for 45 min. Nice bike he has and he has done all the work on it. Told me the engine has been out and apart every winter that he has owned it. While we were there a guy pulled up in an old Mercedes and asked us in a good humour voice if "we were ready to step up to an 1100" lol. Turns out he has a 82 GS1100 that he has owned for 20 years and done lots of cool things to it and might be ready to sell. He is gonna send some pic to me. I will keep you guys posted. The people you meet on a GS eh?

                Yeah Eric you and I might know that but I don;t think my wife does. Remember, I bought my 750 in Sept. after 25 years between bikes and then I bought the project/parts bike in Jan. A 3rd bike in less than 9 months might be a tough sale!

                      If she has two Acura's, you get to have 8 Suzuki's.
                      That is the law!!!

                        True story. I always tell my friends ... "Don't think of it as a one-car garage. Think of it as a 4 motorcycle garage."
