                  Very nice - we must get you over the ditch here to NZ...

                  I hear the hotrod katanas of Giles/Martin went through 8 or so motors between them...correct ?

                  A Kiwi who was there reports watching Giles at the last turn...came in sliding, tucked the front, saved it, then fired it out doing a 4th gear wheelie...new lap record....

                      Thanks Steve for posting that. I was hunting around in the wrong places for photos or videos after I saw the results on RRW.com.

                      Looks like a lot of modern modifications are allowed.
                      GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

                          I would love to have one of these
                          Are you selling the stainless pipe exhaust?
                          Will it fit a GS 1000?

                              price might scare you the pipe is 950 GBP
                              cheaper than racefit Ti pipe at 1200 GBP
