I bought my GS 4+ years ago and up until this year, have never seen another GS F or E in person before. I saw one a few weeks ago, one at the Thunder in the Valley rally this past weekend and now I've seen one go by my house a few times.

I live on a quiet no-outlet road and have been noticing a bike go by a few times over the past month... finally got to see it up close on Sunday and it was a GSF. I waved but didn't want to hold him up or anything... but cool, you know!!

Wondering if you're on this forum or whatever... because I'm not the type to just start a convo or whatnot in person... and I'm certainly not gonna watch outside and wait for ya to go by :icon_eek:  but it would be cool to chat about our bikes  :cheers:

Haha almost forgot... I'm in the house with the Turtle Van in the driveway LOL

Next time you think he might ride by, have your GS outside. Maybe he'll see it and stop.

That's a good idea!! I know he saw my bike when he rode by because I was standing right next to it when I waved but idk maybe he just doesn't care lol  :icon_rolleyes:

 Hmm. Maybe he just thought you were out of his league. It happens.  :D

Nah. I'm full of shaZam!. Ask anyone else here.

The only thing I can say for certain is that it wasn't me riding by. My GS is sitting in my garage as I put it back together in my few spare moments. Hopefully rideable tonight, but we'll see.

jdoorn I hope you got your bike back together!

pete yeah if it was you you'd have better stopped and we could compare fiberglass notes!

Saw him go by last evening when I was working more on my foundation... and then again today before work when I was putting up some cement patching stuff... bah I'm not a crazy person I just want to finally see another GS in person / up close!!! But I don't have it in me to get 'em to stop. Anxiety, you win this one lol.

Hahaha yes I understand your reluctance to wave them down! Could be interpreted as being a little... forward... haha

I'll put some floats on my 450 and come visit... hahaha

I've talked to some GS riders on the road who I flagged down, and they didn't even know what their bike was. Its sad really how clueless people are.
I've been watching a savage with a broken starter clutch idler pivot go from person to person who thinks they can fix it as the price is steadily dropping from the $1000 it was. Again clueless people who dont even bother doing the 2 mins of research it would be to figure out.
Cool.
