        a gs1000sz Katana flashed by me going the opposite way two days ago. I haven't seen one of those since my brother traded his in for GS1150eF back in 1984.

          Saw a GS of some sort in Englishtown today riding with a Harley, but didn't get a good look.
          The back was bobbed with a single taillight, no signals.
          My first thought was Gordinho 80, a local memder, but again, I didn't get a good look.

                GS850G Dan Grands Rapids

                Was walking around looking at the hundreds of bikes at Grand Rapids Summer Blues (Tommy Castro last night).

                Saw this 850G come in, two up.
                I was thinking 80 or 81. And he parked it right where I was standing, so, I should chat with him, eh. (Too bad my son was not there to call me a dork.)
                He said is an 81 that he has had since new in 82. And the Rifle fairing has been on it most of time since then.
                Also said something about being involved (not too specific as to how) with the dealership that was the Suzuki dealer at that time.
                I think he said his name was Dan (but my memory is suspect).

                He said he was familiar with GSR, and consented to a photo to post.
                (His wife was about to walk away with the dinner they had brought in, so we didn't chat much more.)

                  Mrs. Steve and I were on our way to Mr. FoxyBLankworthy's wedding this afternoon.
                  At a light, the driver in the car next to us honked his horn to get our attention.
                  When we looked over, he pointed to our bikes and asked "What year?"
                  I responded "Hers is an '82, mine is an '80." His reply: "Very nice."

                  Times like that make our efforts worth it.

                      Did not get much of a chance to chat with him, but Mrs. Steve and I had the only two bikes there.

                        Oh, .... somehow I thought thier wedding was months ago.
                        I Was going to ask him about it, but did not think of it anytime when I could have asked him ( a social skill I need to work on.)

                        Good to see GSR represented.
                        Maybe we could have gone-in-together and got him some gasket sealer har har har

                          As I was trying to get my bike ready for my first rally, I drove 20 miles to an auto parts store I found online which happened to have the right size oil drain plug. I told the guy at the counter why I was there and how it was out of my way, and he asks what kind of bike I have. I told him an '82 Suzuki 1100, and he just stares blankly w/o saying anything. I ask what's up, and he says "that's what I ride!" It turns out he bought one GS new back in the early '80s, and picked up an 1100L somewhere along the way. He hadn't heard about the forums so I gave him the link and my email address. Nice guy, it was nice talking to him, and the whole thing sort of gave me confirmation that the rally was a good idea and would be fun.

                          Unfortunately he's got a couple of jobs and not much time, but hopefully he'll get that L back on the road and hopefully join the forum.

                          This is a great community, for sure.

                            I was headed to Willard, OH to watch their fireworks show and a cookout. Driving through Plymouth I spotted this in a parking lot so I turned around to go back and look. The owner came out of the store and busted me taking this picture. So we sat there and chatted about his bike.
                            He told me that he painted it and had to lower the shocks 1 inch due to being a little on the short side. Bought it 5 years ago and would like a bigger one but very happy with this one. He said it's an '81 450.

                                Nice 500L, Muskegon MI

                                Saw this nice 550L in Muskegon yesterday.


                                amounst the thousands and thousands



                                I was going to just ride thru all this craziness, just to see the spectical of it all (since it is less than 20 miles away), but saw the nice 550L, so did find a place to park, and walked back to get a picture.

                                That GS was easy to spot, since it was parked sticking out into the lane of traffic.
                                I did not recognize it from any GSR members in the area that I know. I didnt have any GS cards to leave.
                                I did not hang around to see if some grizzly yah-hoo might knock it over, or if crowd control would move it.

                                So, Hey, Mr GS550L, anybody here....?
