This is the windy bridge that I commute over every day. Fortunately, it wasn't so bad yesterday (in the pic), since there wasn't a storm front headed our way:

Who says you can't carry anything on a sportbike? :dunno_black:

(Weird; my last GS had that same dent in the exact same spot. :confused:)
Once I got her home for the night:

The decals, which were faded and peeling, have all been removed in preparation of painting her. Hopefully I'll be able to start that Sunday afternoon. She'll be a badass burnt orange by the time all is said and done.
I once carried a GS500 engine home on the back of my touring bike. Kind of wish I took pictures now. :)
When you paint it orange, are you going to swap the seat or leave it blue?
I'm gonna be looking for a solid black seat. Hopefully I can find one here to just trade.
(Or I might leave the upper, tank, and seat blue, slap on some Gators decals........ :woohoo:)
Eh...no...nevermind. That's dumb. :cookoo: (And they'd take my MSU fan card away from me.)
Put pics up once it is painted, I want to see how it comes out.
