Right after I had my wreck, one of the campus cops got an gs500.  I was driving my mom's car and looked in the rearview and there was a GS, I freaked out :) :laugh: :laugh:

I've seen a few here in Tampa. There's a fella that commutes I guess east and west across 301. I've seen him a few times.

Caught up to a guy on a kz1000 (198something) with no tail/brake light and gave him a heads up. His ignition switch was iffy and slapped it around until the rear was illuminated again. Cool cat.

I see a gs on almost every road trip we make. Of course, I'm looking out for them. :)

I've seen a blue/white 05 and a gray/black 07 around town, and someone just picked up a blue 05 that was sitting at the dealership.

I see one somewhat decent-looking 2000 every now and then on campus.

Of course, it's Sanjay's so it doesn't count.   :laugh:

I saw one riding through town the other day. It was very dirty and needed some help. the guy riding didn't seem to be very experianced.

Most the ones I see are in my area are from here.

I've seen a few around the bay area (and one parked in Santa Cruz once). I get so excited when I see a Baby G....and probably look a little crazy waving madly from my SVS or cage...  :laugh:

I saw a blue 06 F for sale going across ave fifteen on my way to work everyday for like 2 weeks....then it was gone...i guess sombody bought it....the newer one with the fairing really blends in with the gixxers so I have a hard time spotting em.... I do see an occasional older E model around fresno from time to time....I distinctly remember this one that always used to be parked in the apt. complex behind university liquor across from fresno state, it was that aqua color....of course that was a long time ago, but if that was sombody on here you might remember me as the guy who used to ride across that field from the arbor apts on my xl600 and do a wheelie up the sidewalk past your apt complex on my way to the liquor store 1 or 2  times a day.....gosh I was kind of a punk when I was younger  :dunno_white: well anyway, If anybody is in fresno, madera, and occasionally eureka ,arcata, or huntington beach and you see : flat black old gs with bald a$$ tires and probably a multitude of items strapped to the poor workhorse being flogged madly by a little 5-8 135lb white boy in a well-worn black leather jacket and a black shoei helmet....well, thats probably me  :icon_mrgreen:  :cheers:

Saw a '90 black/white wheels/red trim GS500E today in Pacific Beach area of San Diego.  You sort of nodded at me on my all-black/silver '00 E as you went north on Fanuel St.


Had a V&H exhaust.

I saw a guy on a Blue/White '06 near the QT station by my house in the Northwest Valley. I wish I could track him down because I've seen him out and about quite a bit and I KNOW he lives right down the street from me... I just don't know where. I want to introduce him to this website/forum.  :cheers:
