Found: before and after pics of my first GS500!

So my mom brought me a couple boxes of old pictures to go through and take what I wanted from them.  And after a couple hours of digging, I found a couple pics I didn't know existed!

My first GS, bought in boxes, then assembled in my garage:



After geting it running right, I fit a one piece tail section on it and painted in BMW Metallic Blue!





Sorry for the crappy pictures but I was extremly happy to find these!  I sold the bike to another member here after driving from Columbus to Indianapolis.  I paid 100 for the bike in pieces and sold it for 1000 after painting it, adding the tail, and getting it running right!

Thanks,

Nick

Nice success story!
Rode a motorcycle and even turned a profit. 

Do you have enough lanterns?  lol

Lol step dad is a collector of anything Coleman.  Those are the ones he would actually use camping, he has more inside the house being displayed lol

nice! More info on this one-piece tail??

This was back in 2002, but I believe it was made by AeroTech? It was all fiberglass and the painter had to do alot of work to get it ready for paint (not very high quality molds, or finish) but it was well worth it to me since I only paid for paint since the painter was a friend.

Hey!  I've also got a painter friend, and a dad that hoards things.  And our bikes look the same! 
Maybe we're twins. 


Do you also masturbate furiously to leggy blondes that pretend they enjoy anal? 
If so, high five!

lol weird thing about your post homer, I was listening to "HIGH FIVING MF" by Local H as I read that!  My masturbation history excluded, that deserves a high five back!
