    The GS that could

    Hey i joined the site about a month ago and just wanted to bragg a bit about my bike. It is a pretty much all stock 1981 gs 750. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada and a friend and I went on a trip this summer. We left saskatoon and drove strait west about 16 hours till we hit the west coast in British Columbia and then went strait down into the United States and down the coast of Washington, Oregon, California, and into Tijuanna. We rode some of the most amazind twisty and steep roads along the coast. After that we drove through the mojave desert and into Las Vegas and stayed there for a bit then ripped up the interstate 15 and back home to Canada. The trip ended up being about 10000 km's (6000 miles) and took us 3 weeks. My old GS ran like a true champ....a few minor hickups along the way buy nothing serious. It handled great on the twisties. What well built bikes these old Suzuki's are eh!!!

          If anyone knows how to post pictures i will post some of the pictures....we found some really cool places.

          One day in california we went exploring for a while and found a really old rundown narrow road up in the mountians right off highway 1 on the coast. They were very steep and windy and had no lines or signs on it and sometimes turned into gravel. We couldn't figure out what the point of the roads were untill we stumbled into some buildings way out in the booneys. There was a guy there and it turns out that the place was a buddist retreat center. They had bought it from the state of california and it was the former location of a california prision.

          someone let me know how to post pics

            Welcome to the GSR Tim!
            C'mon you guys. Learn us how to post pic's! In "so e-z a 5 year old could do it" detail.
            And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
            Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                Prove it! My wife says I act like an 8 year old, so this should be e-z for a man of your formidable mental stature.

                  When ever I see this picture....the thought of a big semi, suddenly
                  appearing, comes to mind. :roll:

                  Hey Tim...Welcome man...sounds like a fun adventure.

                    Woohoo -- another canuck, even if he can watch his dog run away for 4 days.



                    Sounds like a great trip man.

                      Has anyone ever considered actually reading "the Annoucements forum" or even the FAQ where all this is explained??

                        Semi's aren't allowed on this road. It's mine.

                            Dink, I just checked that forum and the FAQ. Neither says much to help someone who's as computer illiterate as I am. I'd like to know how to post pic's but I've struggled trying to in the past. So I just stop trying.
                            I guess I need detailed info that describes things simply, like click this, click that...maybe I'd catch on. Maybe this info can't be sent as simply as I wish. This stuff's really over my head.
                            I've tried to help people here that are in over their heads with learning to work on a motorcycle. I give detailed info if the person seems like they need it or not. I didn't think it was too much to ask to be told how to post pic's.
                            But my previous comment was just me joking around. Yes, I'd like to learn, but if it doesn't happen, that's the way it goes. Posting pic's would probably keep me at the computer even longer, probably a bad thing. :roll:
                            And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
