For a sweet bit of eye candy to go along with the stuff we've been gorging on since October 31st, check out the BOTM for November...congratulations Bill Gregory! That is a well put together machine, and a nice pastoral setting.

Very cool. One of the nicest restomods I’ve seen on the site. Anyone know Bill Gregory’s username? (Why is that info never on the BOTM winner’s caption?). I don’t recall seeing or reading anything about the build. Not a regular poster?Rich

Now that's what I'm talking about! The ultimate in air cooled cool. I can't even see the oil cooler!1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

I have wondered about that as well, and have asked "the powers that be" a few times in the last ten years or so.Originally posted by Rich82GS750TZ View Post
The other thing that I have asked about has become a reality, though. I had asked about the possibility of having thumbnail pictures in the gallery so you did not have to click on the link to bring up the full-size picture. In the event you were looking for a particular bike, it's MUCH easier now to get an idea of what each bike looks like.
Maybe, ... eventually, ... we might see the usernames added to the BOTM info.

I think you could have made a pretty good TV show putting THAT all together!Comment

Does anybody know how/where we can see other pics? Even if not build pics, just a few degrees in another direction?
I'm just trying to see the slightest evidence of an air cooler. Anybody?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Since no-one seems to know Bill Gregory's GSR username, if he's actually a member (do non-members get to submit photos for BOTM?) He's not on the list of current site supporters (which lists real names w/ usernames). So unless he decides to chime in here, we may never know.Originally posted by Rob S. View PostRich

If not, how/where is it hidden?
If so, what are the tuning/building/shaping/porting specs that make it possible to run cool enough without an oil cooler?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
