      I took the 1000e for it's first long ride yesterday. I rode about 350 miles half was southeast Ohio twisties, (Rt26) the other half was Rt77 highway. After spending most of the spring fixing the previous owners numerous mechanical follys, it was nice to finally get it out on the road.👍

            I am proud to report that after 362 days of owning my GS750B, I finally went for a ride yesterday. I had a permanent, ear-to-ear grin on my face and can't wait to get some miles under my belt this summer. Thanks to all the folks here who helped me out. While she still isn't perfect, she moves under her own power and did not let me down. I still need to buy some real riding gear, tackle the R/R and stator, and get new tires and chain. I plan to do a full write up of my year of repairs and maintenance in the coming days.

            Many thanks!!!

                  Nice photo.
                  ... Road, bike, scenery
                  ... no harsh shadows, nicley exposed for having the bike and forgraouund in shadows somewhat and background in the sun light.
                  ... really give me an idea of what the ride was like
                  ... makes me want to go and ride there


                  Too bad that you could not have moved that utility pole and wires over to the other side of road to get them out of your frame of view.

                  Great photo.
                  Thanks for posting.

                      Mt Washington Auto road today. The XJ900 ran like a champ. It was a little sketchy as there is a mile long gravel section that they were resurfacing making for very loose stuff and a 20 minute wait going up and coming down the steep sloped road. With the strong winds and steep embankment made for some thrilling moments on the narrow 8 mile road up. Not too often you get clear days up there even if it was 30 degrees colder on top.

                            Did a 60 mile loop tonight, to scrub in new tires, Dunlop 591 up front, Pirelli Sport Demon out back.
                            First right turn was the only moment where it felt a little squirmy, otherwise felt pretty planted.

                              I have ridden up Mt Washington twice in the summer and hiked up once in the winter. Got lucky both days I rode and had good weather. But I didn't ride a motorcycle-I rode my bicycle.
