    Another Cooley in the garage

    Picked up another 1980 Cooley today. 22,500kms (14,000 miles)
    Needs some work... front rotors are from a 79 for some reason. I will get an air box and get rid of the pods. I have “79 L” exhaust for it too...but that Hindle is pretty and sounds great!
    Everything works...gauges all work.
    Sweet S&W Street Stroker shocks just like on my other one... not sure if I’ll keep it though. My wife may actually kill me..lol
    Not sure if this was smart...and it wasn’t cheap.

          Wow!

          It would be fabulous to take one off your hands!!!

          My wife would cut my bits off...lol.

          Plus, it would require a cross-country trek to BC!!!

            Congrats, Trevor!
            Those Hindle pipes sound terrific, imho.
            Nice to see the photo-bomber is back. Ollie? That nonchalant look ain't fooling me.

                      You seem to have a great wife. At least she's not going to cut your "bits" off when you bring home a new motorcycle... I had a girlfriend that said "it's eather me or your motorcycles." I sometimes miss that woman! 😉

                          Lol...I am very fortunate...my wife sees how happy my bikes make me and doesn't stand in the way. She is a little concerned that I have two of the same bikes in my garage though. Lol

                            But, they aren't the the same. They just "look" the same, lol. Apparently, the Pacific Northwest has an issue. They are INFESTED with MOST of the pristine GS's left in the world ! ! ! And as if it's a shelter for no longer wanted GS's, they keep ending up at Trevors. H3LL, there's probably a sign in his yard that says "Free drop off service. No questions asked" LOL...

                              dang, seems you culled the herd somewhat (?)
                              I remember the blue 1100 casualty.
                              Nice collection
