Title: GS500E, South Chicago.
Post by: Watcher on October 29, 2015, 11:02:19 PM
I'm selling my bike.  I'm moving and won't have a storage option for the winter, and she needs some work I don't have the time, space, nor tools to do.  I would have liked to ride her until it starts snowing, but I could really use the cash right now and I'd rather not leave it outside in a parking lot all winter.


Anyway, here's a link to the CL ad.  Feel free to PM me here about it if you are interested, but you're probably better off texting me.  Mention you are from GSTwin and I might just give you some preferential treatment  :thumb:

I took a security deposit on it, so it's currently unlisted pending sale completion.

Haha, I'm pretty sure I'm the one buying that bike.

My buddy took a look at the GS500 and now HE wants one, so I was looking for him. Well, alright, then!
