Well day started perfect, 70's no wind to speak of and I am enjoying my morning ride to work in light traffic.
Get to work and come to a stop.... no wait... can't be... OMG!!...<insert giddy sounds here lol>
first time I get to see a gs in dallas texas, but not only that, the owner works at the same place I do..!! WHOOT!
of course I left my card with the www.gstwins.com address on it.... I hope he will come over here (unless he's/she's here already....) its red in color, looks like a mid 90's model, I did not have time to check out the vin # for dates.
of course my handy mini camera comes in handy.... and I took pictures... (we are happy children sometimes eh?)

I Miss My 1996 :(
Cool! Hopefully he/she shows up. :thumb:

Might have to print some up this weekend... :)
the card is a great idea, where did you get it done?

did it myself using free software from avery, then I use winsnap (I am registered user) to capture the finished product into a jpg. and print it that way (I love my HP software), but the avery product can print them from the software... its easy insert photo, add text
NOTE:
If anyone likes they can email me (see card for email) with photo and details you want on it, I can create it pretty quickly and turn the avery file back to you (all you need is install program and load file => print.
or I can make a JPG/GIF out of it and mail all of it back.... (not I will not print and mail batches...lol) lmk in email (try using a subject line like 'avery business card' so it doesnt end up in my garbage bin
cheers to any takers.
Unbelievable, when I bought my '96 five years ago it had the exact same smoked plastic fairing! :cookoo:
Of course I took it off 'cause it ruins the looks of what is undoubtedly the GS500's best color scheme :cheers:
