Title: Sold GS but Still a Lurker
Post by: Chuck500 on January 19, 2011, 07:13:49 PM
I recently sold my 2007 GS.  :cry: This has been a great forum and helped me out a lot.  Keep up the good work and friendly  :D atmosphere (certain recent threads notwithstanding) >:(

On the good side, i bought this:   :woohoo:

I strongly recommended this forum to the buyer of my bike.

Keep the shiny side up  :cheers:

With the sun shiing behind you, this bike coming up behind you in my state would look like a cop bike! Heck, wear some dark blue pants, a white helmet and riding boots and most people will think you're a cop even when they can see you clearly.

Oh... nice  :thumb:

I'll wager that parts of his bike will not fly off 5 years from now as he is riding down the highway. More than I can claim for my Suzuki...  :icon_razz:

Thanks to all for the replies.

Yes, the new bike is the Honda NT700V.  I do, in fact, wear a white helmet (full face though).  I hadn't thought about is looking like a cop bike.  Around here (Houston TX) most cops ride Harleys with a good number on Gold Wings and ST1300s too.

The NT is a great tourer.  If you are using your GS primarily to commute and rede long trips, this is a good bike to consider.

Keep the shiny side up,

Chuck
