If you've seen a GS riding around, or saw one at a shopping center, or whatever, post it here and we'll see if we've had any Close Encounters without knowing...
Sighting 1: The other morning on the way to work. Got passed by an 05 fairing GS on the Cunningham. Followed him all the way to Industrial Ave, Wacol. Around 6am-ish Beeped my horn as he turned off.
Sighting 2: Yesterday: Popped in to a business at Rocklea. Did some work near, what looked like, an 09 faired GS parked next to two other cars and some kind of ramp thing (year could be wrong as I think all the blue/white combo colors on fairings look the same). I was told by one of the forklift drivers the GS belonged to a young tall red haired fellow.
If they are you, speak up :cheers:
Michael
There's a naked GS in Queanbeyan, act. have seen them parked in the carpark for Riverside Plaza twice in the last two weeks, neither time with the owner around though. :(
Sighting one blue gs500 2001+ naked and one yellow gs500f regulary on cowpastre road going north at 7.30am approx.

Westside Honda? You mean, Pro Motorcycles at West Ipswich, right?
If so... finally. That was an 09 model they had there. So they were way past their 90 days shop floor terms. :cookoo:
Rumor has it they are going under. We shall see. :dunno_black:
The other week when I was there they had a naked 600 hornet for like under $4k.
While I'm a it, used to see a GS500F parked in the Coles carpark at Ipswich, near the Hogs Breath Cafe side of the carpark.
Michael
That's the one it's just up the street from me, they did my single seat plate couple blokes there are good but I seen to find most bike shop blokes are half shitty at the best of times.
Was it an 05 that was always parked on Milton Road just up from the nun in the window?
Spotted one parked in the motorcycle parking bay near the security post at the end of South St, Lytton. At a glance looked like an 09F model.
08F at a business in Bluestone Circuit, Darra?

Popped in today to see if they had any 2011 models yet. No. But they did have a 11th month 2010 model there. Brand spanking. I asked about 2011 models and said it'd probably be a whlie since they had an overstock cause of the drop in sales worldwide. He just denied it and said it would be a few months yet before we sore any (achem, bullsheet). My 4th month 09 model didn't take 7 months to hit the floor.
They also had a new GSR750 there. Got to say, it looks better in person than the pics have it.
The bike at the end of South street I mentioned, I left a note letting him know of this place. Maybe he'll pop in for a visit :dunno_black:

Another brand spanker GS500f in stock at pro westside so guess there not killed off yet.

I've been in and out over last month chasing parts etc and this was the first time I've seen it on the floor.

have only seen the guy once though. that's at Russell, ACT.
Pulled up at that Lytton spot again today. And while I was there I heard the tell tale sound of a GS500. I look up and, sure enough, the bike I'd previously left the note on pulls up. said "hi" told him it was *I* who'd left the note and we had a brief GS500 chat before both moving off to our respective jobs for the day. He did tell me, it was his 2nd GS500 after crashing his 1st. He'd downed this one too, but not written off down so...

(http://motorcycle-web.com/suzuki/gs500f_2005/2005-Suzuki-GS500F.jpg)
His name is Dave and he lives in Raceview. Came on our relay baton run down to Eltham. Oddly, when he rides to work he just goes whizzing on by without even a small hand gesture to fellow GS riders. he may have had some fabric type saddle bags on his bike as well.
Michael
Yep that's him. No nod or wave.
Blue tank with white striping 'F parked at Chatswood, today, 5 Oct.

I see several gs's most days in sydney city, probably a safe bet someone is in there right? :cookoo:
Since getting my GS500F, I have noticed quite a few 500s and 500Fs getting around my neck of the woods. I think it's as a result of that phenomenon where you don't notice something until you have one yourself. I certainly hadn't noticed them before I got mine.
:D Today at 2.18 a blue tank black frame gs500e ...Corner of McLelland drive and Frankston Cranbourne road , north bound in the rain :D
Yesterday about lunch time, blue and white (white tank) GS500F outside the Cafe Grove in Wodonga?

Saw my old GS up for sale at Peter Stevens Motorcycles in Adelaide about 6 months back & then not long after, being riden down North East Rd. at Windsor Gardens. Then, about 2 months ago, i spotted it on Goodwood rd. at Colonel Light Gardens. Was hoping the new owner might be on here but doesn't look like it.
Its this bike with the Ducati windshield thats on the Wiki under 'Windshields'. If anyone in Adelaide see's it, tell the owner about this place.

It's not a ride per-se as more of our way to have a bit of fun on our way to the expo. I feel there needs to be a Surfers Coffee shop stop again too :thumb: ;)
I could call you slips, but Mong is more entertaining. Don't blame me, you chose the name
You chose the interpretation tho, and yes to the coffee stop
I did choose the interpretation. BUt it came from your name and the fact we like to shorten things... Slip The Mong
Yeah you shortened the wrong part.
I just tried the slippery mongoose on stephanie.

Wow was today the day for GS spotting. Spotted my first one on Taylor street toowoomba, then saw a few of them being used as q ride bikes in a steakhouse carpark in toowoomba, then a black frame grey tank one being ridden by a fella not much older than me at the bp truck stop at gatton, then passed a lady rider (yes I said lady) with pannier bags on the warrego highway just outside Ipswich, and a strangely familiar one entering the Ipswich motorway at rocklea with a Ventura, and to top it off saw a black frame blue tank one on old Cleveland road lights at cooparoo.
Tonight, 7.30pm, Dinmore, cut on front of me as we entered onto the Cunningham. Some kind of wind screen.
Saw a Green GS500E on the pacific motorway at dreamworld exit this morning at 7:45

Hey another Gold Coaster?
Saw a real nice Black GSF getting wet at 1.00pm in Nerang yesterday
Saw at least four GS500's at the Barry Sheen Festival Of Speed @ Eastern Creek
:bs: Barry Sheen! :bowdown:
On the job site today (at Toowong), I came back to my bike in the bike parking area and saw another GS500. had the 2010 colors so it is either a 2010 or 11. only had 600 clicks on it and five months rego left so I figure it was bought last month. Poor thing has a broken clutch level. A center stand whoops probably and they tried to bend the clutch lever back and thus broke it.
I left a not on a piece of paper for the rider to drop by and say "hi".

Welcome and dont forget to post a hello in the greeting area as well as some photos of bike as we all love photos here :thumb:
Ah, Welcome chendickerus. :thumb: :thumb:
Hopefully you now know the rule of motorcycle parking on the side stand....
Face up hill or
When facing down hill, put it in gear, engine off, roll the bike forward until it stops, Then get off it.
Good thing you only have Minor damage.
There is MUCH to love about the GS. A 23 year build/sales history cannot be wrong. And this place has a Wealth of knowledge.
Cheers

If so, that is Remo2k9 http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?action=profile;u=10839
He started with an F, whined about how the fairings didn't look sleek enough like a Gixxer, painted it white (just painted right over the decals :icon_rolleyes:) stuck on some GSXR 750 decals :icon_rolleyes:, tried to tell everyone it was ok to ride withOUT an air filter cause his uncle in the Philipines does on his moped thing and then I stopped reading his posts. But you can see his stuff by clicking "show last posts" in his profile. He hasn't been on in about a year.
Michael
Thats the one! It looks good from a distance I must admit.
Saw a blue and white F in Shortland at the end of link rd this morning.
Saw a couple of blue GS500f's today one on my way down to byron form uni on the motorway at bracken ridge at about 9:30 and one in byron parked outside the rails pub at about 12:40. Both where blue and white
There's a grey GS500F (~2005 maybe) I see at uni every Tuesday night, the guy is in my Tax Law lecture actually and I spoke to him about his bike before I bought mine recently.

Left a note on a blue 2007 model at Lytton today.
Saw a blue naked same as mine last night 9pm at QUT GP, by the time i had my helmet on he was already gone, he happened to be heading north the same way as me.
I waved at him but he didn't wave back :dunno_black: prob trying to overtake the 4wd in front of him
Blue naked in Melbourne's CBD yesterday, had a small screen and a top box. Looked like it earned it's keep, too.
Matt black GS with clubman bars, white rim stripes, bar end mirrors, and a digital speedo setup (aka cafe stylish) spotted around 5pm turning left onto Winstanley street Carindale, couldnt weave well enough to get to him to direct him here n say hi.

Seen this one twice. Yesterday and today. Blue and white newish GS500F with a rack on the back SPEEDING through the 40kmh school zone. No cops today but he got lucky yesterday as the cops had 2 cars pulled up as he sped through. My kids go to the school you speed passed so slow the fukk down.
Pretty sure I've seen one heading east on Neilsen's rd a couple of times the last week. Around 5.30 in the morning.
There's a couple GS 500's park near me at work in the Valley, one I know as he works with me, not sure about the other... and there was a black naked one sitting behind me at the lights on Waterworks Rd corner Settlement Rd 4:30 this avo on my way home.
I also regularly see a black naked one on the way to work around 7am, usually along Bowen Bridge Rd between the hospital and St Pauls Terrace. I think he goes straight through down Brunswick St... had to tell him his chain guard was loose one day as it was hanging off at a weird angle.

I started doing this the other day, then I just felt really silly for some reason and chickened out...also I didn't know what to write...
I need to pre-print some notes or something to stick on all the GS's haha
The guys at the GS Resources did up a little business card size thing you can print out. It has the logo and website on it and a place you can stick your screen name.
I haven't printed or used any yet but it seems a sensible way to do it... I can imagine some people getting a little freaked out about some random leaving a weird note on their bike...

That's a really good idea, if I wasn't suuuuuuper lazy I could do something like that because I'm pretty decent at designing things :icon_mrgreen: if the weather is still crappy this weekend, or if I'm too hung over to ride I might make up something!

Personally, I stumbled upon this place myself when I got my GS because I'm an internet addict but I'd definitely have checked it out if I hadn't and someone left me a calling card! Forums make me feel like I'm part of a secret society haha.
Did you do the secret society dance that chick from 'cruel intentions' did when u found us?
Hey, this is the did I see you thread, not the talk random stuff thread.

But back on topic - I saw a blue GS500F (same as mine) pass me between Mt Mee and Dayboro on Sunday :thumb:
Blue and white nekkid with RJays saddlebags, Dan Murphy's at The Gap.
Good choice in bikes and bottle shops!
Got sandwiched between a black F and a dark blue naked today a bit after 2pm on the footpath parking on Turbot St.
The black F was gone by the time I got back but the naked was still there.
06 naked at lytton today. Left a little note. Hope we have a new member to our ragtag bunch.
Naked in southport today. Left a note.
Spoke too soon. Two GS500s at work today in southport. Left a note on both.
OMG! I was driving down the wrong side of the road the other day in Straya and I was two blokes on some gs500 yute acting all squirly.
Right when I went to hope off, a man eating roo jumped out of the bushes, followed by a salty, followed by the most poisonous snake IN THE WORLD!
So, right there, I decided to HTFU and go down to the pub. It was a good 67 degrees C, so I got pissed drinking some warm beer out of the hatch of my motorcycle.
Well, anyways, word of advice. If you see a gs500 in Austrailia, your bound to get killed by some wildlife, or global warming.

Hi Guys sorry to say I don't have my 06 blue naked gs any more after bending and denting it, now have a black 2013 to tool round on in the regents park qld area

Parked behind a blue naked (red GS500 lettering) this morning on Turbot St (under the overpass near Edward St). He even got pole position :thumb: (first spot facing back down Turbot St).

We spoke today at several intersections, starting on Huntingdale Rd/Highbury Rd corner. You on a Grey "F" with rego 1H... and me on the Blue "F". We rode together for a few Ks before we separated in Blackburn Road. You told me that you are not a member here but do have a look sometimes. You asked about GSers riding together. Judging by the greying beard hanging out of your helmet we may be of a similar age. If you would like to catch up for proper intros or a ride, let me know here. I would be happy to ride together with you. :thumb:

Naked GS with a blue tank, intermittently parked outside a farm on Stewarts Lane, outside of Stratford. Have also seen you ride though Maffra.
This afternoon at 14:30 hours. I was driving my car, waiting at the lights to turn right into the South Gippsland Highway towards Dandenong. You came up from behind on a black 'F' that looked exactly like mine :icon_eek: I had to look twice to make sure I was seeing right. You were waiting to go straight over the intersection into Lynbrook.
Today parked outside of Peter Stevens Motorcycles in Dandenong on the footpath, a black 'F' with hard luggage, white helmet and red rim-stripes.
Yesterday afternoon, a blue and white ( I think ) "F" travelling along Stratford Road heading for Stratford junction and the Princes Highway. I was walking a dog.
Today, about 11.25 am, stopped at the Dandenong Road/Warrigal Road intersection, heading towards the City. It was Blue/White possibly a K9. I was stopped, heading the other way on my black Honda.

I thought this was me until I looked at the date! I'll be doing that route in the next week or so though.
Today I attended the annual 'Blessing of the Bikes' held in Mirboo North ( but not on my bike unfortunately. Next year! ). The weather held out and there were a lot of bikes parked along the main street. I saw a blue naked GS with a P plate and a blue and white 'F' parked outside a café there.
ive seen this bike a couple times now.
wednesday 21st parked at shell at kariong just before the f3 about 9ish.
blue 500f with L plate.
Yesterday evening, a blue and black naked traveling north on Cardinia Road in Officer. I was traveling south and looked at you and I think you saw me to.
Today. You pulled out of a 7-11 petrol station in Cranbourne North on a black faired 'F' and turned down Elizabeth Street.
Many apologies if this doesn't belong here but on the first page I saw a post about a sighting in Michigan so here goes...
Saw ya today in downtown J-town PA... black/gray/red GS500F... rolled up next to you at a stop light at the bottom of Bedford Street and said nice bike... was the first GSF I've ever seen in person :icon_eek: !!
Today, a white and red 'F' traveling out from Pakenham on the old Princes Highway towards Nar Nar Goon. I passed you in my car.
Today, a black "F" exactly like mine on the outward bound lane of the Princes Highway passing through Officer. You had learner plates and a lime coloured vest.
Who was riding a rather tasty bright Yellow GS seen in Daylesford yesterday (Sunday Feb 23)
