Wink Is it just me???

Hey guys,

Check this out, this trips me out. When I see another GS on the road, I can't help but stare and admire their cars. Some fixed up mostly stock, but damn! I can't stop myself. My girl even tells me, "don't worry, you have one too", . I look at other cars too, but with no such impact as the GS.

Do you sometimes catch yourself doing the same, or am I that creepy guy on the road just keeps lookin :eek:

Just had to share this with you guys, I love my car...

Yep - I do that. 'Look' I mean, not 'stalk.'

I've considered even starting to wave, or maybe flash my highs as a sign of recognition.

Most of them around here are stock, which is OK, but its also usually the demographic that doesn't do a whole lot of modding

I always "look" at other GS, usually I wave a sign of recognition. IF the GS owner is below 50 yrs old. usually ppl above that ages don't pay any attnetion to their sidewindows.

I always look and even try to get near ones on the highways.

I find MANY people looking at my car, mainly because of the rims and fat rear tires.

Most GS's around here are 300s, probably only 1 in 10 is a 400 or 430.

Cool, it's not just me then , maybe I should clear this up a bit, I don't keep looking when the other person in the car is looking back at me, that's really creepy, I would be scared of myself. I usually just cruise on the sides or rear.

The BMW guys do this.....

There are only two other GS's in my whole town, so not very much interaction....both stock of course. But on the road I give the Head Nod

Same here. I can spot a GS a mile away at night. Its easy to recognize the quad head & tail lights.

Make a trend, and nod your head to the GS (well, maybe not all). When I used to ride my crotch rocket, almost everyone waved at the other riders on the road , but I can never get any response from those Harleys :eek:
