What little corner of the world do you call "home"?
Or, in other words, how far do I have to drive to come get them?
Edit: just did a reverse search on your phone number and saw that you are in the St. Cloud, MN area. Too far for me.

The GS line of bikes were built almost 30 years ago. As with any old vehicle, maintenance needs to be done. Paying a mechanic to perform this maintenance will put you in an up side down financial position very quickly at today's shop rates. Because of this, I don't recommend old vehicles to people that don't turn their own wrenches. For people that are handy though, the GS bikes will run reliably up to 100,000 miles or even more with proper care.Ed
To measure is to know.

I think Sean is totally justified in cutting his losses and frustration and dumping his bike for a newer model. Just keep in mind a newer bike is going to need maintenance just like the old one.
I think Dave8338 is closer than anyone to these bikes. There is another guy out there but I cant think of his name. Regardless, having someone go look at it probably wont do much for you.Last edited by bonanzadave; 03-23-2009, 12:02 PM.82 1100 EZ (red)

Thats no place I wanted to be stranded with the wife or grandkids on board with a barge barreling down on us. The bike is getting to be the same way. I dont have the confidence in a near 30 year old Bike like I would in a new one. I dont have the resource for a new bike so the old one will have to do. Even tho I think its capable Im just not going to jump on it and go cross country.
