On my way to pickup another gs...

[Zooks]

Just arriving home with them. They were a bit wider than I had anticipated so I had to put one forward and one back wards on the trailer.

That's pretty standard practice when putting more than one bike on a trailer or ute (truck).

Nice score. It'll be good to see one (or both) of those old girls running again.

Good Homes

Dave, Dale, enjoy the bikes. It was a pleasure meeting both of you. I know I did the right thing by selling the bikes through GSResources, good people. I'm looking forward to seeing the final products.

Dale, did the trailer pull behind all right? The storm that came up while loading the trailer headed south as you left. Have a safe trip.

As for the toolbox, it's for ice fishing tip-ups and only levitates above cycle seats. I'll have to set it on the shelf now.

Great looking bikes. Congratulations rustybronco.

Nomad,

You sound like a great guy. One most of us would love to hang out with. I'm pretty sure I remember you posting several years ago. It's been about 4 or 5 years.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do for fun. Don't be such a stranger. I mean, you're going to need to keep an eye on these bikes from now on.

Dmb, are your plans to restore one or both of them?

The Plan is to restore one to its original condition with no mods or aftermarket stuff. Its the first two stroke that I have owned so that will be fun and different. Then depending on how many parts I have left I will either restore the second (probably find a third parts bike) or I will use some of the parts in a bobber/chopper project I would like to do. I know some of you won't like that, but I do. I like the old school bobber look, but they all have V-Twins and they all look the same. So I want to do something different and either put the GT550 engine in it or a new inline four from a GSXR or something so it looks a little different. But no matter what I do, there will be pictures.

That's the important thing. LOL!

By the way, it looks like your bike has pee'd all over the pavement in your signature pic. )

Mark (nomad), the trailer pulled just fine behind the 300 and the 10 straps we put on it never loosen one bit, they were as tight as when we put them on it. it may have been over kill but considering you, your wife and your brother were the only owners it ever had, I owe it to you and your wife for the years you had on it together (he bought it from his brother, two days before he and his wife were married).
we arrived in Crandon about 1:10 am, we took our time and only traveled about 45-55 mph, mainly because of the deer (15+), associated critters and the very bad at times ground fog, plus my worrying about getting it back home in one piece didn't help the matter. We've got the time and it is better to be safe than sorry and it is one bike worth keeping that way.
I looked at it this morning, all I can say is the condition is better than I could ever have imagined. under the seat is spotless, no rust in the tank, very close to perfect paint, the list goes on and on...

Mark, it is in good hands...

930 miles into the trip so far, 545 to go.

oh yeah, this post is worthless without pictures...
(i'll post the ones of Mark, his wife, my son, JD and I that we took, as soon as we get home)

I'll be looking forward to that. I like putting a face with a name. Makes conversation a bit more personal.

Nomad,

Trust me, he and his wife are some of the nicest people you will ever meet... it just breaks my heart they had to let it go.

Never thought of that. Just had finished washing it I guess. I didn't take the picture. The person I bought it from did.

Eh....just razzin' ya. )

It's a nice bike nonetheless. I suppose it's joined the "not currently running" steed.

Yeah, the herd is growing rather quickly. 2 months ago I didn't own any bikes and now I own three. But hopefully the GS will be running in two weeks. Just finished dipping the last carb body from the new rack I got. So just a little bit of re-assembly and and they will be ready to go. Then it is just the brakes to finish.

[Craiger]

That's cool, dude. I just got my bike back together today after a little spill a few weeks ago and was able to go on a ride this afternoon. It felt really good to be back on the road. Just couldn't ride very long.

[rustybronco]

I'll post more pictures this weekend.

Me...


I'm in the black shirt, Mark is in the green shirt.

the storm came up fast after this picture was taken and I got pelted with pine cones!

Mark, I wished my backyard looked like yours!!!!!!!

[Craiger]

Great pics, rb! So nice to put a face to a name.

[rustybronco]
