    A GS Kind of Day

    I finally got the titlework back for my '79 GS1000E so I took it on it's maiden voyage to work & luckily one of my co-workers rode his bike in as well. He's got a 75(?) GS550 that he bought new. I clicked a few pics in the parking lot.








    It's like Big and Little brother. What's funny is I'm 5'4" on the 1000 and he's 6'+ on his 550.

      So do you guys call each other each morning to find out what each other is wearing?

      Nice bikes you guys have!!

        Took me a while to figure out the CR reference. I got the HD thing right away. In my lot there's usually a BMW, a Rebel, a GSXR-600 & a really neat Triumph Thruxton. Some dude rode his enduro into work this morning.

        Yah, sometimes we coordinate our bikes and our clothes.
        I wear oversized stuff and he wears stuff that's just a little too small, just like our bikes.

            2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

              Very nice! I don't think I've ever seen another GS in the same parking lot with mine, although someone at an auto shop down the block has a blue GS1000.

              Your friend's 550 looks exactly like the one I used to have, same color and everything. Mine was a '77. I think that's the first year they made them. Nice bike for backroads and around town.

                Yeah - probably a 77 - the guy's on vacation until next week, so I can't ask him specifics. There's lots of GS's here in South Jersey. The guy I bought my bike from runs a GS1100 drag bike & I ran into a couple GS guys at the track the last time I was at Atco Raceway.

                I've had the bike for over 2 months, but I just got it on the road 2 weeks ago. The more I ride it the more I love it! This winter I'm going to take the dings out of the tank and repaint the tank & tail. I've got some ideas for a solo seat that I might test out before then.

                I'm glad to have found this site, as I've got a ton of questions now & I'm sure I'll have many more as I learn more about GS's in general!
