GS Sightings

GS1100 rider in Clifton Park NY monday 5.30.11
I was warming up my bike (at twin lakes) and a guy rode by on an '82-'83 1100e and waved.

I tried to get him to stop but it was too late.
Is it anyone here?

Green GS650G (I think this is the L?) at Apex Sports in Colorado Springs this afternoon.

Gs1000e

Spoted a 78 or 79 1000E the other day heading up Accademy in Colorado Springs CO. Saw the DOHC round cam covers in my rearview and thought it must be a GS. Poor thing had a crooket head light and broken windscreen plus the rider was a tool. Let him pass me so I could get a good look at the model then he proceded to tail gate and change lanes five times to get ahead of traffic. Normaly I like spoting GS's on the road and I make every effort to tell them about our GSR site. This guy however made me wish he'd get pulled over and loose his GS to police impound. Probably has no endorsement and a suspension on his record so i'm hopeful that this will hapen before he parks it in someones trunk.

Also spoted an 82 1100E at my local library. Looked like the owner had replaced some of the body work and possibly had plans to restore it. Left a note for the owner to check out our site.

Yup, that is the rare 650GL, shaft drive low rider. Note the axle in front of the forks, the frame showing in front of the tank, and the stepped seat. Good catch.

I spotted a nice red 83 1100E this afternoon, badly in need of a bath. Where was that? Oh, yeah, in my garage. Oops.

We were standing by Jerkeys jerky store.

A... a jerky store? An entire store filled with jerky? That sounds insanely wonderful.


I want to go to there.

There was an '82-83 GS850? in front of me on the corner of New London Rd and Cincinnati Brookville Rd. Had a very attractive blonde riding pillion. No gear, but not hard to look at either .

Brian, will (later) send you PM of some further info.

Not to hijack this "sighting" tread with a "meetingplace" or a "destination" type discussion. ... But watch the MeetingPlace, I may be posting about Muskegon Bike Time as a meeting place and then go for ride from there. Newaygo, where the Jerkey Store is located, will be one possible destination. That is July 16 - 17 (weekend before WV).

Ok had a beautiful GS750 pass me at a stoplight on the westise of town today at about 5pm. Looked to be dark blue, with American flag on back, luggage rack on back with soft trunk on back. Looked like older gentleman. If not someone on here, should be! terrylee

On 6/6/11 someone on a Wes Cooley looking GS blew by me like I was standing still on Rt 8 in the Adirondacks about 10 miles east of Speculator. Had to be over the ton and then some.
Whoever you are, thanks for being on the far side of the far lane! I hadn't seen a car in miles and never saw the bike coming up behind me in my mirrors so it surprised the heck out of me.

Oh, and I saw a Harley in Lake George. (x 2000)

Rare? They aren't rare, haha.

Saw 4 GS's at once last Monday when I stopped by TCK's to pick up the Maier fairing. Two were TCK's, one was Kparkfan's (he was there) and the other was mine. Almost felt like being back at the Rosemont.

I just saw an 1100GK. I was pulling out from the grocery store. Black and red.

[Steve]

Saw an '83 750T at Americade, in the Forum parking lot.

Interesting paint. I think it's called "hammertone", done in blue.

who was riding blue 850G on Belt yesterday in the evening?

[Tim Tom]

Wasn't me, but I did buy a full set of blue body work for my 850G yesterday . Took the cage though.
