Im led to believe most of you "guys" get up on sunday mornings to get all decked out in your gear to jump on your 1980 whatever bannana seat and ride the 3 miles down to starbucks to gossip with your friends about someone. Y'all are a bunch of chicks on hear, with the exception of a few.

          There's a wealth of knowledge here my friend. As far as subject matter, once a thread is started it belongs to the world. My default beer is Yuengling...

          Happy new year.

            Proof that bad beer causes unhappiness-and an urge to chop s#it up!

            BTW, my default beer is Kilt Lifter.

                That's assuming he's old enough to have been riding for ten years, Trevor.

                  Age Is Just A Number

                  Come on Pilot, it's not nice to use AGE as a method of degradation...both young and old, we have our quirks. (I'm assuming you're kidding)

                  Let's get back to this hardtail subject. The ideas may be unorthodox but it stimulates the brain to respond either positive or negative. And Lord knows, people have those opinions.

                    Now, now, Ed. Age does count for some things. Senility may be one of those things, but I have that on layaway.

                    Kids who cut up bikes, drink bad beer, and denigrate elders who know better on both counts-well, they deserve a bit of ribbing.

                      Agreed...age does count but we can't teach these young GSers (Or Old Geezers) without expecting lip...they're fully baked!

                      Heck, I'm still learning the personalities on this board and playing as well as I can.

                      Although, one can tell character from the bike we ride and the beer we drink...we should be familiar with the poster before the onslaught of ribbing takes place.

                      But, lets get back to more info on the hardtail...

                        I agree, I want to see garage pics and some progress.

                        They do, and OP has taken it very well. I want to see what he comes up with here, so a bit less abuse might encourage him to stick around and share pics of the project.

                          I like the GS450's and like seeing what other people do with them. IMO, as long as it's in good taste (which is obviously subjective) and the work is done thoughtfully and done right I'll enjoy hearing about somebody's project.

                          Here's a hardtail project that I enjoyed reading about and that wasn't dismissed by the GS community:

                          Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.


                          The same guy had a thread on chopcult:
                          So I just picked up this little chopper so I'd have something cool to run around instead of a silly sport bike. It's a GS450 motor (not sure what year), with a 16" comstar, 18" spoke disc wheel (no brake), with some cheap off the shelf chopper parts thrown on a crazy long hardtail. I think the guy who built it

                            He hasn't taken it particularly well, and the "abuse" hasn't been that bad. And that hardtail in the link? Godawfulness incarnate.

                              I agree with the first two statements. As for the third, I think the bike is cool and I liked following the progress of it - i.e. I disagree, but that's fine .

                                All I can think about when looking at those photos is how much of a shame it was for this beautiful rural countryside to be spoiled by some knumbskull riding a noisey a$$ bike with open pipes though it. Damn shame.
