                Trevor, truly sorry for your loss. I know these bikes are like old friends.

                On the positive side you will get to experience a Cooley when ever you decide to twist the grip. I enjoy riding and comparing my 1000SN to my 78 1000E vs. my Katana, ELR and now this 1100E. They all have different personalities for sure. I was fortunate enough to meet Cooley this past July and have him sign my S. He is an awesome person. Have fun!

                  Just like the BOTM. A couple beauties ! After I got my 82 my friend bought a blue 83. We were a couple road warriors on those bikes.

                    I've just scored an '81 in blue.The bike needs a general tidy up but the paint job looks pretty good under the dust.I pick it up next weekend and will post some pics then.
                    That bike of yours is gorgeous.Ride and enjoy!

                              Showing my 1100E at Kokomoto yesterday! 25 of my boys from Fort Wayne Vintage Cycle rode to the show on various vintage bikes. A couple of my Suzuki riding buddies did the trip as well. Joe (Suzukidog) rode his 1000ST with his lovely wife Lori and our buddy Keith who is 72 years young rode his original Katana 1000SZ on the 200 mile day trip. The 3 of us Suzuki guys have uncannily similar tastes in vintage bikes.
