Hello from Derry New Hampshire

[TKOFGC]

Hey guys

I wanted to introduce myself. Everyone calls me Tico. Recently moved to Derry NH. I picked up a 77 GS750 beginning of this summer loved it so much I ended up picking up an 79 GS850. New to the classics. The GS750 is being kept stock and I’m trying to restore the 850.

Not to sure on how to post pictures so here’s a link to them!! Hope to learn from you https://imgur.com/gallery/84nEdMw

Welcome to the forum Tico.

Welcome Tico, The first real bike I owned was one of those RED "77" GS750's. All great but 2 things that still stands out about them was the "orange" inst. lighting & red LED gear position indicator. It looks great, even the orig. exhaust. Just wondering, how many mi. on it.. Looks like the other one is a "real" project but do'able.

The 77 has 21000 miles on it. For its age that’s relatively low in my book. She rides amazingly well. I’m more use to the modern day sports bike so it was a welcomed change to be able to sit upright.

Yeah the 850 is more of a passion project. Working on rewiring her and cleaning the carbs

The PO of the 850 hasn't done as much damage to the frame as it seems initially. A new rear section could see the bodywork put back on, if that's your wish.

Welcome.

I can't possibly imagine what that poor 850 might have done to deserve that.

Hi Tico, welcome to the forum. It's great you added pics - the 750 looks very nice! The 850 needs some love for sure...
I live just south of Nashua, and I'm in Derry once or twice a week so maybe we can go for a ride sometime. It's been pretty wet this summer - July for sure! Let's hope August is better.

Keep your calendar open for the Northeast annual rally.

It's normally a bunch of guys meeting up and camping out. The roads in VT are pretty good for riding - you've probably been there yourself. We're normally in tents but this year we have lean-to's lined up. We slid the outing one week this year to specifically go to the "Rice-O-Rama" motorcycle swap meet the weekend before - maybe you'd like to take that in as well. I'll be there both days selling some stuff for my buddy.

Anyway, welcome and feel free to send a PM or email so we can meet up and go for a ride!

Scott
