Sitting in a driveway at 9th and Lashley in Longmont, I've noticed an L model probably about an 1980 or so. Are you a member? Nice looking bike. Ray

Last week temps got up into the upper 40s, saw an immaculate blue 1981 GS1100E parked in the driveway of a house I commute by every day. Nobody seemed to be home, so I left a GS Resources card and my business card tucked between the ignition switch and the handlebar pad.

The bike only had 12,000 miles on the odometer, and almost looked brand new.

There's a daily rider GS 550L in my 'hood. I see this guy on a GS 650G riding around Orange County all the time. His bike is aged but clean as it can be. Got the classic milk crate on back.

I haven't seen an 850 in years. Most of the GS's seem to be 650's.

Like I should have bought back in 86. They were going for $1600, either the G or the E.

I saw a very nice 850 broke down on the side of the road with its vintage (mid70's) owner rolling out his tool roll next to it.
it tore me up having to go on by without stopping, but I was on my way to a road call for work and couldnt stop.
it still hurts knowing I left a fellow GS'er stranded on the side of the road.

Uh huh. And you've never given up days off to help a "fellow" GS'r. Trust me, you are way ahead in that regard, Obi Wan. He was probably just looking at his tools to remind himself hat they looked like any way.

PS. Saw an 82 GS1100GK in my garage. Oh, never mind. That one belongs to me.

Including mine, there are 3 very sorry looking GS400s riding around Ottawa that I've seen. I've seen some nice GS400s too. There are lots of GSs for sale in town too, all under 2 grand CDN.
