    Welcome from down under Wes! Wasn't too many years ago I had no idea who this Wes Cooley fella was everyone was talking about, let alone having a clue what the deal was with Wes Cooley replica GS'.

    Didn't take too long to learn once I was up to speed on here

        Welcome,

        From the Tri-state area of the US. That's on the east coast of the US and the three states are.. Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey...with a mix of Maryland too.

        Enjoy all that is the GSR.

          Wes, welcome. This place just became even cooler!
          Being a younger member here, I never saw or followed your racing career; being a fan of vintage bikes, old Suzukis, etc, I’ve enjoyed reading reading of your and others exploits from my favorite era of vintage motorcycles.

          So so cool to see you here...

              Great picture! I assume you removed the family portrait over the fireplace and replaced it with this picture!

                To have a picture of Wes setting on my Cooley or having a picture of him as he signs the tank would be the highlight of my motorcycling days. I couldnt think of anything more awesome.

                I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                        Yes this is a very welcomed addition to the forum. I hope to pick your brain if I ever get around to making a replica track bike. Thanks for joining our group Wes.

                            Welcome Wes. Sorry I never got a chance to meet with you during your visit north this summer. Too busy moving to do much of anything. I've been through Twin Falls many times on our trip south. Beautiful place. I'm due north of you just across the Can/US border.

                              Hi Wes. I'm glad you took the time to drop in here. I too am just learning of your racing career through this forum being a somewhat younger member as well. You sure have inspired a lot of people through doing what you love and from what I've read about you have been a great influence both on the track and off.
