Well day started perfect, 70's no wind to speak of and I am enjoying my morning ride to work in light traffic.
Get to work and come to a stop.... no wait... can't be... OMG!!...<insert giddy sounds here lol>

first time I get to see a gs in dallas texas, but not only that, the owner works at the same place I do..!! WHOOT!
of course I left my card with the www.gstwins.com address on it.... I hope he will come over here (unless he's/she's here already....) its red in color, looks like a mid 90's model, I did not have time to check out the vin # for dates.

of course my handy mini camera comes in handy.... and I took pictures... (we are happy children sometimes eh?)







WHOOT!!!  :thumb:

Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

did it myself using free software from avery, then I use winsnap (I am registered user) to capture the finished product into a jpg. and print it that way (I love my HP software), but the avery product can print them from the software... its easy insert photo, add text

NOTE:

If anyone likes they can email me (see card for email) with photo and details you want on it, I can create it pretty quickly and turn the avery file back to you (all you need is install program and load file => print.
or I can make a JPG/GIF out of it and mail all of it back.... (not I will not print and mail batches...lol) lmk in email (try using a subject line like 'avery business card' so it doesnt end up in my garbage bin

cheers to any takers.

Unbelievable, when I bought my '96 five years ago it had the exact same smoked plastic fairing!   :cookoo:

Of course I took it off 'cause it ruins the looks of what is undoubtedly the GS500's best color scheme  :cheers:
