Ha! Ha! No, it's because of the white "skunk" stripe that runs down the side of the tank and tailpiece AND they go like "stink", or should I say, went like "stink" in their day.Originally posted by Mad Mark View PostComment

To bring this up and add some more info.
These are the North American colour schemes for the 78 GS1000.Other markets got red with white and a lighter blue with dark blue stripes.Some debate here as to whether these are Skunks or not.Oddly both examples I have show "star" wheels,wires where stock for the 78 "C" bikes.Last edited by Guest; 11-09-2014, 03:21 PM.Comment

Or at least save you from a horribly smelly situation. I know a guy who was jogging at 4:30 am. He saw a black cat in the center of the road and as he jogged he was trying to get the cat to move out of his way by making noises and such. This was HIS road. The cat did not move so as he approached he hauled back and kicked the cat like he was kicking a 60 yrd field goal to win the game. Only then did he realize that black cat had a white stripe.Originally posted by Allie View Post

That's for sure. How do you miss a skunk, even at night? I've encountered them in the dark - they have their own way of moving, and the white stripe shows up unless it's like PITCH black.Originally posted by winfield View PostOr at least save you from a horribly smelly situation.
