    And I saw your blue/white 1100G in the Zuki display Sunday.
    Had the Suzuki folk contacted you in advance? ... or find you there in parking lot? ... or find you while having bike picture taken at their tent?

    >>>later note
    Now I see your other posting.
    ah... 3 bikes... including your dad and son....

    .
    Suzuki found us at the concourse on Saturday. They liked all 3 of my vintage S bikes and thought they would go well on the wall.

      1977 GS 750 in Philly

      I've been seeing a 1977 GS 750 just like the one I had back then, parked on the sidewalk outside a restaurant at the corner of 13th and Sansom in Philly. Really clean ! I had to go over and see if it WAS my bike from 1977, but mine had a Lockhart oil cooler, Lester mags, and a luggage rack/back rest, but this one was the same color, had the original spokers. Man, that took me back!

        Possibly an 83 700 or 84 750 Kawasaki, same stripes-nice bikes. Was the rest of the bike black?
        Not an 83 700, No, I clearly saw the SUZUKI emblem and GS750[x] on the side panel. The engine sound was pretty high-pitched, making me think it was going at the higher end of the RPMs, though it was normal speed traffic. The rest of the bike mighta been black. I didn't get a good glimpse at its wheels or drive, and didn't notice whether it was an L or not, although I don't remember a bunch of chrome...

              A really clean looking red GS twin passed by the front of my home in Freehold today, taunting me as I did yardwork...

                  Two blocks from home yesterday, I saw an oncoming bike turn left, ahead of me. I caught it in the other lane at the light and hollered out the window at the guy "I like your GK". Caught him off-guard, he said "thanks". The light turned green, we proceeded a block, I turned into my driveway, he kept going.

                  Looked like the bike could use a little TLC, but sounded OK.

                    750E Holland MI

                    Saw this in a small strip mall.
                    Would have looked around for rider, but was late for an appointment myself.
                    Did leave a GSR card.

                      All I could catch was a Suzuki shaft drive, dark color maybe black or blue, other than that no time to see. But it was a solo rider.

                        I was making a reference to Don "dpep" who is in Jacksonville. (actually I was trying to be funny, and see who would pick up on my comment.)

                          I picked it up Redman. After Don picked up his Beemer, I doubt he's been on a GS since. Or maybe not

                            Saw a Burgundy 83 E 750 or 1100 yesterday in Red Hook brooklyn, around 6pm was riding right in front of me, had a pipe and sounded very close to what mine sounds like.
                            I was in the car. Not sure if its anyone here though

                              850g

                              Stepped out on my porch a couple evenings ago just in time to see a suzy go by . Looked to be around an 1980 gs 850G not positive on the year it was black with the red stripe outlining the tank and the side cover . The bike looked pretty clean and original from what I saw of it . I was actually caught by surprise as its only the 3rd gs I have seen around here . Sighted cruising down north 6th st towards columbia blvd in st helens Oregon anyone here ?
