    Greetings from Norway! A bit on myself and my bike.

    Hi everybody.

    I’m 42years old and pretty much a newbie in the bike game. I had one Yamaha Rs100 as a kid and now as a job comuter a Honda cbr125r.
    I recently bough a 1979 GS500E. It is partially in pieces as the previous owner wanted to make a caferacer of it but found out it was too good to be chopped up. So my plans are to put it back together and tidy it up. And do a few mods to it, nothing drastic.

    What made me buy this bike is that my dad used to have a gs1000e when i was young and i loved it. He also had a 2stroke GT500.
