This past Saturday I saw a 80+ GS750E (had CV carbs and wasn't an L) at the Bretton Woods Skii Resort in Bretton Woods (northern) NH. Hung around a bit to see if the fellow would come by and see me eying his bike but no luck. Here in the north country Gs's are rare birds indeed (minus my 850, her 750, and Jeepfreak81's 850). The one at Bretton woods is the first confirmed sighting I have had. I though I spotted a couple others but couldn't get close enough or was going the other direction.

Trev, not certain how to interpret that comment to photo I posted.
I suspect maybe a derogatory comment on chaps in general.
Or maybe you can evaluate the quality of the leather in a photo from a distance.
Don't know.
FYI Three days that week, and 3 days the next week, I went though same intersection, at least twice a day, on bike, wearing leather chaps. Although brown.
Chaps from about 1985. Brown, to match brown leather jacket of then.
Chaps maybe not as good weather protection, not as good pavement surfing protection as current armored textile pants I now also have, the chaps roll up better for storage on bike while going around town during the work day.

Interesting that the book in the add had a GS on front cover.
Interesting that your barber has Rider magazines.
Was the magazine and the book real old....?

Our barber shop is old school cool, owned and ran by the founders son. The old chrome, porcelain and leather cushioned chairs are still in use (and quite comfortable). The Rider Magazine the ad was in was from this past October. I was quite surprised to see the GS. Grey Bruce is a tour in Canada....I looked them up trying to find the ad online after seeing it during my last haircut. I couldnt find it so i snapped a pic with my phone last weekend.sigpic

Gee, no GS sightings in months.
Last photo was September.
I haven't even seen my own GS in months.
Well, have seen this blanket and sheet covering something in corner of garage, and have plugged a battery tender into something under there.
Maybe another week or two....
