          35 years after the fact, I made it in a magazine with my first GS1000E... Damn that was a long time ago.

              I kinda want to pick your brain about the FJ1100, there's a lot of used ones here for sale here in really good condition.

                I loved mine from the first ride, until the day it died....at the hands of a friend who slammed into a car that pulled out in front of him.
                The bike was perfect in everyway for me with no issues ever for the 3 years I had it....The silver/red combo I think was the best out of the close to 15 year lifespan of the FJ series.
                And the engine lived on to the XJR, up until last year I believe. That is over 30 year life span of a engine design, it is a good one in my opinion.

                    I've got it on the calendar, as it gets closer I'll have a better idea if I'll make it down there.
                    I need to get some more miles on the bike to make sure nothing will fall off on a long far off ride.

                      First bike show of the season

                      Took a couple of my bikes to a local show last weekend. First public viewing of my GS, and first time out in 3 years for my GT. A Kawasaki triple took the trophy, ...everybody loves an H2 I guess
                      Saw viperg at the show and talked as I was loading back up to head home...
                      It was good to talk to you again in person, and hope to make it to the next show your at in a few more weeks...just need to decide what I'll be taking...???

                        500 miles

                        500 miles and no issues yet....almost feel relaxed without worry of parts falling off now.

                          Kudos for the way you restored the bike, from parts and style to color, i love it !

                            Thanks
                            I had a hard time restraining myself, and not using new age GSXR front end and rear wheel and....well I had a lot of other ideas I wanted to use too.
                            But it came out ok even with the Old Skool look, since I didn't have a 4 stroke with wire wheels.
