WTB: GS500 Race Bike

[Wally Anderson]

Looking for a well sorted GS500 race bike located in the East or South East. Must be race ready, not a project.

Why specifically the GS? Looking to compete in a particular class? Generally the EX500 is the way to go. Much more power.


(hehehe... "much more power"... man it feels funny saying that about the EX )

He already has.

I just want an air-cooled twin that's light and nimble,doesn't have to be the fastest twin out there

ah, air cooled... gotcha.

Have you checked the WERA boards - forums.13x.com - or maybe www.clubracer.net ?

It's VERY rare to see GS's already in race trim... good luck though.

[Doc]

Well since Hardcore is trading me the GS I guess I have it.

What are you looking to spend?

yes he did, + I responded giving him my cell # to call me + get all the details but he didn't want to bother until I posted some pics---which I can't do until I find a digital camera!

I'm not making the drive to look at what could be a piece ofd junk!
Talking with you doesn't cut it, pictures do. AS they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I have a digital camera you can use. Or you can spend the hundred bucks and just buy one.

[Doc]

Hopefully in a couple weeks it will be at my house and we can use mine.

You're going to be looking at a GS500 race bike.

There is a 0.00% chance of it not being a piece of junk; its an old race bike.

and as far as GS500 race bikes go, this is a pretty sweet piece of junk. I mean, it actually looks kinda nice. you know... for a gs500



Wally, Chad may not be the best salesman, but you're not gonna find many GS race bikes... and his is in pretty good shape.

I think we need to make a love connection... Who's got a digital camera for Chad? If i had one I'd go down there & take some shots just to harass Chad again

[Wally Anderson]

I'm not saying it isn't I just like to see a bike before I make a long trip to make a purchase. I found one I like but it isn't for sale. This is basically what I'm looking for, a well sorted GS500 race bike. I'll pay top dollar for a clean well sorted bike.

Does anyone have any pics from last season with it sitting in the pits?

That's a nice looking GS right there.

Note with any Chad bike it immediately gets covered in about 48 stickers laid out in a completely mindless fashion. Hope you have some Goo Gone.

[Wally Anderson]

I see you're a Hawk fan. How's Hord doing? Years ago Hord did a calendar and one of the pictures he used was a street Hawk I built. I'm now building a 72 CB350K4 race bike, that's why I want a GS500 that's turn key, I don't have any spare time this Winter.

[Doc]

Wally know's Hord? He must be a good guy.


I'll clean the bike up (if it needs it) and get you pics ASAP.

[a13x]

Hey I remember that Hawk, what a beauty, RC30 replica. Were you or are you on the Hawk list? For some reason your name is ringing a small bell.

Anyhow Hord is still Hord. He helped all us MABE guys out a bunch last season. He swings by our forum a bit. Lotta Hawk stuff here: http://www.maberacing.com

Small world.

[Wally Anderson]

I've been hanging around for years, Hord is super cool. I sold the Hawk and dropped off the list when I bought a Ducati.

Still have the 916, I'll keep it until they bury me. Got hooked on Ducs for a while had three until I thinned the flock. I'm glad I don't have a barn or I'd have 50 bikes!

Hah. I've got 6 or 7 bikes total in the Garage right now.. Also trying to uh.. 'thin' it a bit (from 50's to racebikes to dirtbikes etc).

I agree, if I had a 916 (on wish list) I'd keep it till I died as well. Why not? It's a iconic machine with styling that will never get old and enough realworld performance to keep anyone happy. That one you have is good looking.

My teammate Bob Stone also has a 1997 Ducati, a 748, and it still looks showroom even thou he rides it quite a bit. Love that thing.

Cheers.

[Hardcore]

I could take a heaping stinky shit, place it in some colored plastic wrap,put a flower on top,take + post a picture,+ sell to someone looking for a pretty get well present !!!

GET THE FUCKING POINT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"clue for anyone buying ANYTHING"------------ "1st step"-talk to the owner + get ALL the info about the item!!!!!!!!!!

"3rd step"--go check out the item in person!!!!!
LAST STEP--buy or don't buy the item


ps---no I'm not a salesman, because I don't see any need to lie in order to sell something!!!
In fact, I see NO NEED to lie about ANYTHING (unless joking around) because if someone can't handle the truth---they don't have to listen + I DON'T GIVE A FUCK !!!!

[a13x]

hahah. Chad. Classic.
Funnything is he's such a creampuff in person.

[Doc]

If it helps I took the bike in trade from Chad without even seeing it.

What was I thinking!!??

[Doc]

Pics of the GS.








It will be in Burlington, VT Friday night. If Wally (or anyone else) doesn't want it I am parting it out.
