    Back in the classic saddle baby

    Well after years of gentle pestering MCycle-nut finally gave in and let me buy his 1983 Suzuki GS1100ES. Super stoked to finally get one. And his has been lovingly taken care of, beautiful condition.

    The bikes in perfect condition. Progressive springs up front, Falicon clutch basket from Schnitz Racing and a list of all the maintenance done in the past 10 years. Always nice buying a bike from a fellow enthusiast. She'll be well loved.

        An absolute "Classic" shot! Art and I would call it a "GS Reacue shot, although I've seen that bike and it dosen't need any rescuing! Happy for you.

                  Ya know, Sometimes I really wish we had a like button. I almost spit my coffee all over my desk. Too funny...

                  Congrats Rob. Not too often any of us find one already (REALLY) done. She's a beauty...

                    Don't laugh. He put a GS 1000 in one once. Now that I think about it. That picture would be a great entry in this week's " Your bike in an unusual place " photo challenge.......

                          I remember seeing that picture a while back. I've done some drastic "redneck" stunts like that to get something home. Gotta do what ya gotta do...

                            I once stuffed an old 305 Yamaha into the back of my 73 Vega. Closest I've come to such lunacy.

                              GENTLE pestering? Holy crap man, when you first saw it at the bike show you were telling people to keep away from it because it was YOUR bike!
