    GS1000 Superbike on the cover of September/October issue of Motorcyclist magazine

    I didn't see this posted anywhere. Thad Wolf on his GS1000 Superbike is pictured on the cover. There is a story on Thad Wolf who raced it in Superbike and some endurance events in the day. Good story, with some good photos.

    I often don't read them, but I still subscribe to Cycle World and Motorcyclist.

      Same story just a better format for reading.
      A chance encounter at a Southern California storefront—nascent Yoshimura Research and Development of America Inc.—changed Thad Wolff’s life forever.

          Nope. I'm not selling right now. I want to sell them, maybe both Lotus, and a restored Scirocco 16V, but probably in a couple years after I have retired.

            There's nothing like '70's super bikes. (Early '80's too).

            The oil coolers, the rear sets, the drilled, then slotted disks, the head pipes and exhaust, etc. etc. etc. Did I mention the sound? The fins, being able to see the engine.

            I'm sitting here in my living room staring at my 11e. I'm excited about putting it back on the road this spring, but I know part of me will miss seeing it every hour of every day. Wish I still lived in a big house with an attached garage.

            2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.
