New guy, funny story...

Greetings,

Last week I responded to an ad in the classifieds for a 1999 GS500e. I've been looking for one for a while now and this seemed like the perfect bike.

So I went to see it, and it looked a little strange to me. It wasn't as naked as I thought it would be...

I made an offer on it, and gave her the night to think it over. When I got home I started researching GS500s and ended up at this site. I read a lot of the messages on here to get an idea of what I was dealing with...

Then I looked at the Site Owner Info link on the main page and realized something interesting... The GS500e that I made an offer on IS Anne's old GS500e that is in all the pictures. I wasn't sure at first but I went back to see it a second time and was able to identify each and every modification, right down to the SV650 foot pegs.

So Wednesday night I will be the proud owner of the very motorcycle that apparently launched this website.

How cool is that?

Welcome!

Thanks, Scratch!
I'm heading out tomorrow night about this time to pick up the bike. I will be either trailering it or putting it in the bed of my truck, as I don't want to drive it at all until I've changed the oil and lubed the chain. It's been sitting for 7 months.
I can't wait. New battery is charging in the barn. Getting all my yellow clothes together.

Anyone heard from John? I emailed him about the bike but never heard back, then the site went down...

I assume your in MA area.. (okay your from MA from you IP)  i know annie sold it to a hot chick, erica I think and then she got something else..

if you got annie's bike, you sure are a lucky one. John is busy moving into his new place, so he might not respond,but do send him an PM too.

Yup, I'm in Mass. From what I can gather, John and Anne sold the bike to a woman named Angela or Angelina or something like that. She in turn sold it to a college professor, who, sadly, recently died (not on the motorcycle). His wife, a very kind lady, just wants the bike to go to someone who will care for it and enjoy it. And that's where I come in.

At first I kinda balked at it, because the mileage is up around 15000. But, it's so pretty and well taken care of I just couldn't resist.

I promised the woman I'm buying it from that I wouldn't drive it home. She's just looking out for me. She wants to make sure it's tuned up and road worthy before I make the 30 mile trip home, so I agreed to trailer it home.

That should be a good time.
