Two days ago i was on my way to advenceauto parts in my home town (mount vernon, ohio) when i saw a gs500 at the light i was turning at, as i made the left turn onto the street the other gs was on i made sure i snuck off as enthusiastic a wave as i could, he happened to be going to the same place i was, so i made sure i mentioned gstwin.com to him, told him to check out the forum ect. if i recall correctly he had a 1990.

Then on my way back to toledo with my bike inside my van i stopped at a rest stop near bolwing green and what did i see? a red pickup with a 1989 gs 500 in the back, i stopped to chat. the couple who owned the truck were standing nearby, the bike was a starter bike for their son, it looked to be in pretty good shape, i complimented them on their choice of bike and showed them my gs500. and suggested they check out the forum.

don't know if they will ever see this particular post, but i hope they at least find the forum.

would you believe me if I say that I have never seen a real GS500E? (no fairing). 

  i don't get it.
