    Hey! I love this site!

    I didn't realize how much I loved this old bike until your stories reminded me.
    I guess I'll go by PorkyPig, I'm finally getting good @ emails but am basically old and tech illiterate.
    I have become in need of motorized transportation and felt that any $'s possible were needed. But, the more I look at my old 'friend' I think that I just can't let him go. Just too many memories.
    So I think I will take it off craigslist and bring it back to life myself, with the help of other GS faithful.
    Any and all rebuild advice is greatly appreciated. (I'll read here as much as I can, but my online time is limited so just consider me (mechanically) completely new (I'm not, but it's been a long time and I need a beginners approach to remind me of all that I forgot.)
    Look for 1978 Suzuki GS1000E (Black Hawk CO) on craigslist - 6/30
    I put my only pics on this ) and (gsresources) site somewhere, but like I said, I am mostly illiterate, computer-wise anyway, and I'm not sure where to find them now...

    So... sorry if I ask old questions, but like I just said, I just got here, I'm reading as fast as I can, eh?

    Can anyone explain a "thread"? I think I get it, but am not sure.
    Anyway, since I'm wanting to see if my old beast even runs I need a battery, any suggestions on where to get a good one? Low budget but not crap?
