    Just joined this forum, here is a picture of my ride.
    I remember the first time I laid eyes on a GS1000s and thinking how I could never afford to own one.
    Just over 30 years ago my dream came true.
    This is a bike that will never leave my collection

    Cheers

          Kenny,

          Welcome to GSR.
          THanks for posting, and the picture.
          Nice bike there.

          But you cant just say "collection" without explaining more. har har har

          Being that you are in New Zeeland, I suspect you can also post great scenic photos of the bike (to bother us folks stuck in ice-snow-no-riding winter).

                The collection, ok here goes.
                A ZX14r 2013 model - bought as a two up bike because the ZX10r (which I still have) would wheelie too much with my Girlfriend on the back. These two alternate with storage/parking arrangements, one is kept at my girls place - she's a very understanding woman and I'm all out of Garage space.
                A 1996 CR500Rt, owned from new - also one which will never be for sale.
                A CRF450r 2007 model - cos the CR500 is such a handful nowadays.
                2x TT500's 1980 G models, because I lusted after those when I was a teenager just as much as the GS.
                A 1976 KT250 Kawasaki trials bike which I bought to "have a go" at vintage trials. Haven't had a go at vintage trials yet - still have the bike though.

                I picked up a 1984 Husqvarna WR500 frame some years ago which I hope to shoehorn one of the TT500 engines into, unfortunately it's not a rolling chassis, this was a very late night Trademe (NZ equivalent to E-bay) decision after one too many bottles of beer. And finally a PE400t 1980 rolling chassis which at one point had a TT500 engine shoehorned into it. I'm hoping to make some kind of Frankenstein project out of that lot someday.

                Mate, there is a lot of fantastic riding here in New Zealand - I'll try and find some pics to post.

                Hang in there, only another few months until Michigan thaws out then we in NZ will be moaning about the cold
