Title: I drove past two 500s in the past two days.
Post by: GSProdigy on June 02, 2011, 07:55:05 AM
Two days ago I passed a purple tank GS with a silver frame. The thing had a horrible exhaust which almost embarrassed me I had a GS. The dude had a chick on the back and was riding through Winter Park, FL.

The second GS I saw yesterday was a silver frame. The entire body was carbon fibered with bright yellow rims. This was in Winter Park, FL.

I never see them, then I see two...

Sounds like it's time to sell and move up to a GSXR.

I see one every once and a while out here, like once a month, maybe.  Never really knew how bad/anemic the stock exhaust sounded until I saw a dude cruise away from the post office on a GS-F.  Glad I got the Yosh!

You live in Orlando?
I used to live in Winter Park Fl, graduated from Full Sail in 07' :)

Back in Ohio now, see one every two weeks or so, sadly I haven't yet pulled up next to one at a light or anything.

Anyone ever pull up next to someone with the same bike and exchange info or anything? Seems goofy, but would be pretty cool to have another GS500 to ride with!  :cheers:

I have had my GS for almost 5 years and I have only seen 2 others on the road.

I've seen just 2 or 3 so far, only once when I was riding. I gave that guy thumbs up  :thumb:, he probably had no idea why I did that ;)

Small world...I passed the only GS500 I've ever seen on the road today myself. I think he was getting ready to wave or something, saw that it was THE XealotX, and quickly turned away before his eyes were blinded by my awesomeness.

At least, that's how I remember it...

SecretAgent,
what part of ohio do you live in? I'm from Cambridge.



I've only passed one other gs, it was kinda late though but we both waved. It was still kinda cool seeing another GS. I always see a GS parked at the hospital but I never see it riding around.

My neighbor across the street has a GS500F, same color and year as mine... tell me that doesn't suck. He's probably
thinking I copied from him.  :2guns:

I'm from the west side of Cleveland, about 15 min from downtown.  Cambridge is east of Columbus right?

I've seen a couple others in the short time I've had my bike. One yellow F in Norman, OK, on the OU campus. And one black F just like mine in Moore, OK. Gotta say I liked the way my bike looked riding by. :)

I must've seen like 10 GS's during this last weekend I spent in Madrid, Spain. :flipoff:
(OK I know I'm not quite fair...)
