I did enjoy it! but it was very short just a blast down some the twisty roads to make sure it was all working. I really love my gs I've owned it so long it's like part of me when I'm on it, not that I ride that well just comfortable.

Yeah, some of the updates that were installed this past winter make it look a bit newer, but it's still an '80.
The "auxiliary garage" is slowly turning into the "shop" that it was intended to be. Rolled the second bike into it this evening.

The 1150 is still on parts hold, but for the second time this spring break my younger son was hounding me to take him for a ride on the rusty old scooter. We did some loops around the block, and after my going thru the gears, which is a bit tricky (pull the clutch then twist the grip), he happily steered.....When asked why he was in the middle of the road, his response was oh, that thats how i ride in my video game....He then stayed on the correct side.sigpic

Trevor you should be impressed how well I've been keeping the Chrome on my ugly bike. You can still see my reflection!

Great pics in this thread I like it
Heres she sits right after the oil change, chain lube, and wipe down to check for anything that may need attention yesterday. It needs a good detailing and the starter clutch is acting up a bit, but she'll be fine for the summer!

It was nice getting the 850 out Sunday for the first time this year. After changing the fluids and installing new B8ES's, I put the petcock on prime for a minute or so, it fired right up. I gave it a good wash then met up with my buddy Paul. We rode to "Zookies" sports bar for wings. My motorcycles like going there, they think it's named after them.... "78550" we'll have to meet up sometime. Looks like fun hanging out at your garage.My Motorcycles:
22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
79 1000e (all original)
82 850g (all original)
80 KZ 650F (needs restored)
