Title: Finally a photo of the Green GS
Post by: jbeaber on October 12, 2005, 12:23:07 PM
Here's my little toy that I have been riding for the past few months.  Hopefully the issues it has won't prevent it from working for another year or so....  I'll have to take a photo of the one problem with the appearance of the bike.  The last owner painted eyes on it, from a Tibetan temple.  Not exactly the most manly thing to have on the front of the tank....  
And that is Highway 1 in all it's glory....

This is proof positive that men pack more than wiminz. My tank bag is a little, bitty thang. Yours is practically a duffel bag or perhaps it's closer to a trunk...yanno....the kind that the froufrou wiminz used to take on ships in the olden days!  :lol:  :P

Oh...and very nice pic! Purdy bike; purdy view!!  :thumb:

Hmm, a tent and all my clothes up front, two sleeping bags on the back...  I was carrying gear for two as my girlfriend had all her stuff on her bike, no room for anything else....

Hey, I didn't know Sheffield and Bubba were so close!  I moved to the Bay Area from Boston, where I had grown up...  At least I'm not bandwagon....

Look!!!  A green GS!!!  
No, really kids...  I'm still mired in my Red Sox depression, not a topic I'm up for yet until they start changing the team....
And the GS gets out of the shop in a couple hours!!!  Finally back on my bike.  Have to give the SV back...

Alas, the SV is my girlfriend's bike, not the shop's....  She might object if I tried to keep it...

Didn't even get the bike out of the parking lot of the mechanics before I needed to turn around.  The turn signal switch had gotten all fouled up and non functional.....  And, then, to top it off, right before we left to head home (50 mile drive), my car blew a tire.....  Getting new tires was already in the plan but it sucked driving 50 miles home on the highway at 55 MPH in a 65 zone...  Not a good vehicle day....  Watch out everyone, lots of my friends are having car and bike troubles right now....
And what green bike is that above?  It's purdy....

That green bike is a Honda 919 in "Uranium Radioactive Puke Green" or something like that. It's not a gloss color, so you can't wax it.

I hate the color, personally.
