A Note From The Owner...
This is my 1978 GS1000c, serial 103503, January of 78 bike. I bought this bike June of 2025, after it sat since 1987. This picture was from last fall. It has 19,000ish miles, and runs nice. His name is Chuck, tribute to my uncle who sold it to me. I bought it in Benton Harbor in Michigan, and it now lives in Grand Haven, Michigan.
Strangely, this is my first bike (I know, a horrible choice. I just stumbled into ownership). Its getting ready to be ridden all over Michigan, which will be a blast. I've had more comfortable and more nimble bikes, but this thing is just the perfect mix.
This bike wont be babied, its a rider, I'm going to ride it. Thanks
