Title: FRIGGIN FINALLY.
Post by: jazerr on May 07, 2007, 12:41:02 PM
I've been hoping to see another GS in my town--mostly so I'd have SOME feeling of affirmation...I know its stupid.

So, yesterday I went to lunch with some friends and when I came out of the restaurant, there's a Fugly model parked right next to my Excellent. Imagine my elation.

I was gearing up when the guy came out. I mentioned the merits of the bike--its motor being virtually indestructable...He mentioned that HE experienced the opposite. He had burned his motor up. I was like WHAAAA?!!

anyway.

I haven't ever seen another gs.  :cry: He burned his motor up? What did he run it with no oil?

I'm pretty sure no oil is the only way to really kill the little 500 :thumb: :thumb:  I dog mine out and it never skips a beat :thumb: :thumb:

Thank God!  GS's really do exist!  You're not crazy after all!

Ya, +1 on oil.  Unless he had an EXTREMELY tight valve that burned up, then he's S-M-R-T and forgot to check his oil.

With the bike on the centerstand, NOT the side stand.  :cookoo:

Make sure you top up the coolant at the same time.

so how's it feel to basically be a herd animal?  You know herd animals get eaten by predators all the time, right?

And don't forget to grease up the tires real good, and every now and then you should take the rotors out and ride it for while :thumb: :thumb:

ehh these jokes, I used them back when I used to work at my old shop, just to have fun with some people. The blinker fluid one worked, I had this younger white guy ask me what does it mean when his blinker indicater speeds up, I told him his fluid was low  :laugh: :laugh: so the guy asked me how does he fill it up and what to use :dunno_white: :o(the guy wasnt joking), so i went along and told him brake fluid works well so then he asked me where does it go. then I had to stop since my service manager was behind the car writing it up for a flat repair, Boy did i get yelled at, they made me go to the guy and say I was sorry. So i vow to never use these jokes again.
