    I just picked up this same bike. 1980 GS550E with only 2000 miles on it. It’s gotta be one of the lowest mileage, 44 year old, GS550’s in the country. Can’t wait to get her back on the road.

Not sure if you are videoing with a phone or what but drives me insane when I can't hear you guys. I was going to comment on the cr500 vid. I wanted to hear what you guys were saying about jetting it. I'm done bitchn, I apologize.
