My name is Matthew.
I'm a new rider from the suburbs.
Bought my first bike as a 2001 GS500 and loving it.
Haven't seen another GS out here since I started looking for bikes.
I'm down in Bloomington/Normal. Probably a couple hours from you.
Hi Matthew. Came to the right forum if you own a GS. Nice starter bike and even nicer once you decide to modify. I own 2. Both currently out of commission but soon hitting the road again. I'm in the Chicagoland area also.
Unfortunately Bombsquad 83 you are a little over an hour from me.
On the rare occasion I visit friends at ISU I bring the car.
Jar75 thank you I appreciate it.
I'm about 40 minutes west of Chicago directly off 290.
When your back in commission I'd love to see one.
Haven't seen another GS500 in person since I bought it.
Definitely! It's always good to have riding partners. Right now I'm working on a Honda CB360 restoration.
i'm somewhat near you, i'm in northwest indiana in merrillville, not sure what suburb your in though
Not near the town of west chicago are you?
I'm in the Palos area, about 20-30 minutes south of downtown Chicago.
I'll totally ride with you, if only my bike was working :sad:
To be a little more exact with me, Ohare area. Currently have 2 titled non-running GS', 1 complete lost title search in the works , 1 1/2 parts GS'. Possibly another somewhat running/lost titled bike tomorrow. I guess when you can buy them for spare change it becomes a mental sickness.( along with all my " other brand" projects.
Lol thats the truth Eh?
are you pretty much saying " join the club?"
