Hey Y'all, I'm Seth from South East Ohio. I just bought my future father in laws 1980 GS1000G. I don't know a lot about it yet, but I'm hoping to pick up the knowledge quickly.

Welcome.
Now get that thing off that trailer and start riding it.
GSes are usually quite embarrassed to be seen on a trailer.

I would have ridden it home, but it won't start. I spent all afternoon trying to get it rolling and it will fire, but die immediately. so I gave up and gave it a bath. lol
