    Thanks "T", that was a very nice "bring back the memories" thing for me. That "78" blue GS1000 was my 2nd "real" bike, Like his, I also had the "E" seat, lower bars, dual brakes up front (spoked wheels were already drilled and tapped for the other rotor). His had a GS1100 alum. swingarm, they weren't out when I had my "78" but when I had my "79" GS1000S, it did get a GS1100 swingarm and eventually a GS1100 eng.... Thank god for still having many of those memories.

                You might have your dots mixed up! I don't think that is Salty Monk's channel! (Don't even know if he has one.) But thats not Dan in those videos.

                  Nope, Dan aka Salty Monk gets a nod for his brake kit.
                  The Mighty Garage channel is Mike Tyler, a local Vincent/Norton/Triumph guy. Check out his videos, the one 2 years ago, Nortons in the bedroom, features our own 850 Combat with glimpses of me in there.

                    Yeah I don't run anything up to YouTube to be honest, I'm pretty lazy with a camera. More of a "doer" than a spectator at everything I do....

                    Anyway if it was my channel none of you guys would have a clue what I was saying...

                    Cool video Todd. Thanks for sharing.

                      I stand corrected. Indeed, I have crossed my dots and dotted my t's. Thanks for setting me straight gents.

                        Finally got around to listening to the blabbing old man.
                        That was a great vid.
                        Had fun riding with Mr. T & others, near Mt. St. Helens about a decade ago...
                        My Kat has been napping for 15 + months, need to get it back on the road again.
                        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
