Too true, it's getting that way they should rename it Hirebuses & the occasional R1 or gixxer 1000.

have a nice day! O0
more about the bike, here in the thread: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=9730.0
Gotta save that pic to post when someone asks how wide a tire they can put on a GS. :laugh:
jim,
have you actually ridden the bike since these mods(before the paint).....or is it just a show piece?
then the 64,000 dollar question would have to be....
if you did this for a show piece...why didn't you build a H-D? .... since at least you could sell it and get real $ for it.. some RUB would have to have a kewl H-D.....at any cost.

servus,
to 1: i take 1500 km on the bike in september 2006. not only for show! 8)
to 2: everybody made a H-D. ;) ;) ;) i made the gs because nobody made a strange gs before. the gs is my love and i want to have a very specially GS. i made the gs only for me. in a few years i made a H-D! :thumb:
kewl Jim,
I under stand the make it for me mentality
also that it is also pissing up a rope to get my $ back if/when I sell it

What size tire is that? It looks bigger than a 350.
It's a 360
HD's are crap!!!
Jim your GS is SWEET !!! I dont even know what to say. There is NOTHING here in the US like that... I only wish us underlings in the US could even come close to the mods that you have done time and time again to the GS...
I cant wait to see next years GS :thumb:
You should have your own TV show... you would blow away the lame ass chopper shows here in the US !!!
Keep up the AWESOME work !!! :cheers:
I think the Speed Channel's supposed to have a show like biker build-off but with real bikes ... it's been a while since I read that though ... it was in an article bashing Speed's Superbikes show for giving sport riders a bad name hehe
With that GS as an entry , i'd bet if Jim were to come to the states they'd give him an episode on Biker Build-off ... they gave one to one of the mechanics from Team Jordan and he had only built the one kinda boring bike . Jim's bike SMOKES those bikes :thumb:
