Howdy howdy old man new GS owner

[Guest]

Hello, I just purchased a road bike, have not done that in 29 years...Lol. I have been riding dirt and trail with my son for the past 5 years or so and decided it was time to let the past breath. So I purchased a 1980 Gs850. Very enjoyable bike, she needs some work, but seems well worth it thus far. Look forward to the advise I can offer as well as receive. Hope every one has a great day.

Welcome, young fella. Half a year ago I bought an 1100e after 25 years without a motorcycle.

Welcome to the ward, your gonna get two things here. A knowledge of these great old bikes that is the best anywhere. And a slice of society that is sometimes disturbing. No lack of diverse personalities here..

Welcome! I hope you have as much fun in the forum as you do on your bike. This is a fantastic place to learn and occasionally pizz off somebody in the process. But that can just add to the enjoyment. Don't take anything too personally even if it is meant to be and you will get along just fine.

Welcome =) GS850s are a handsome bike.
