yep learner bike

I bought a gs 650 in the Navy when I first arrived into California.
This was the Barracks loaner bike that was basically repaired and tended when someone wanted to go but had no bike or thiers was outa commision.
I tended to only its most serious of neglects and proceeded to drive that bike all over the west coast from Vancouver to Baja and beyond.
even in dead of winter we rode doing a snow run up to Squaw valley with snow falling as we arrived. To sum this up without more nostalgia those bikes were tough and got better mileage than all but a few.
