Useless knowledge

Hmm. I always thought "L" stood for Laverne.

As on old drag racer I thought it meant Go Straight.

Yeah, if you can turn, you're going too slow.

I'd call this one a winner !

One of the ways to make them faster is to add some Rs to the name. The Honda CBR900RR had three Rs in the name, and it is faster than a GS. I may get some R stickers for mine. Maybe just stick one on at first, until I can get used to the extra speed.

Group Sounds and Japanese Garage Bands!
By 1967, nearly 30 new bands with mod names like the Spiders, the Tempters, the Carnabeats, the Jaguars, and the Tigers made their record debuts. The top GS groups had enormous popularity in Japan with wild scenes of Beatlemania-like hysteria greeting them at concerts and following them wherever they went.



A quintessential GS song can be characterized by its slightly dissonant melodies and a tendency to go from a straight ahead pop or beat number to an over-the-top, fuzzed-out screaming psychedelic rave up—sometimes all within the same song!

Thru watching a members you tube video asking a question, I got sucked into watching some train wreck GS bobber projects.
In one video the narrator shows off his GS whatever cafe bobber project, and with full authority states that the GS refers to the Gear Shaft of his (G) bike. Im convinced.
