I was thinking GT250 so i got it half right.
To my eye it really suits the bike.

2@ \'78 GS1000 -
Today's plan was to ride out to Iron Pony in Columbus to buy a new riding jacket and then over to German Village for an early dinner at a Sausage Haus and German bakery we like. I don't like riding on the interstate so after some review of Google, I decided on what turned out to be some good back roads that would have made a typical 90 minute drive into almost 3 hrs. Charmayne also wanted to ride so we both donned our gear and set off.
She really enjoyed what time we got on the ride.
The wife and two of the other kids are in the Chevy:
Unfortunately, after about 75 miles Charmayne and the rest of the family had to leave me as the clutch went out on the bike and I waited for a rescue. The clutch cable itself is fine as I can hear the worm gear move when I pull the lever. However, the bike will move freely even if it's in gear (1st, 2nd, whatever) so I'll take off the sprocket cover in the AM and look at the pushrod.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

This was taken yesterday...Rob and I went for a ride up Island and the place he wanted to take us for Lunch had recently burned down.
So we went to the Crow & Gate pub out in the middle of nowhere..busy traditional pub (hey Charlie, we gotta take you there). We sat out side...here is Rob enjoying a pint while we wait for our order...

Went to the store, but the real story was rolling the cycle out of the garage...I leaned it on a not fully deployed sidestand......as I walked away, I noticed the cycle moving slowly, about to fall. I quickly grabbed it by the passenger seat/grab rail and thankfully saved it.......sigpic

It stalled out because I tried to idle the bike down and went too far. It was right at 1000rpm and coming to a quick stop on a down slope, the bike sputtered. And then decided that restarting was dumb for about 15 minutes.Originally posted by A-train View Post
I bump started it and motored back home.Comment

Lordy, the heat is on, hardly saw a bike out this afternoon, then again it was 102 today. Felt like I was the lone ranger. Forecasted temps for the this week, Monday-102, Tuesday 107+, Wed-108, Thurs-105, Friday-103 then it cools down Sat to 99
Nothing like spring time temps. Oh, it's 11:33pm as i write this and it is still 87 out.
