        I’m partial to the “T”, but that’s just me.

                I'll go....step seat, extended forks, pea size tank, terrible ridding position, high handle bars...but it does have a GS engine, so that's good.
                Just kidding...sorta....to each his own.

The early GS cast wheels were grey, they looked a lot better if grey was painted black, but the silver rim and spokes had to remain silver. Like Suzuki started doing in later yrs.
                    Fad? Fad you say? Why I oughta tan your hide, you young whippersnapper. In my day, you got black wheels and you LIKED it! You youngins just go for gee-gaws and doo-dads, and don't appreciate pure beauty.

                    Oh. By the way my son said try black on the wheels and I did, I mean it's like $10 of paint. I like the look. Of course I do, it reminds me of me ol' Model T!

                          Eating and riding = non sequitur. I like to travel light. The fumes on a gas stop were always enough for me. But if you're a 'foodie', why not stash a stick of gum in your pocket? (ONE stick, not the whole pack.)

                          Me and the old riding buddies once went over the river and through the woods (to New Jersey) for an 'all you can eat' Chinese place. Took maybe two cars, but one guy insisted on riding his new '75 Gold Wing. I said, "Mike, you're going to regret this." "Nonsense," he said.

                          After the meal...
                          "Rob, you want ride my Wing home for me? I think I'd rather go back in one of the cars. Scott? Barry? Anyone???"

                          Moral of the story: you either eat, or you ride. And we were 19 years old!

                            Go to New Jersey to eat??? I'd think way more reasonable if you were in New Jersey, go someplace else to eat. When I's in NJ the odor would kill your appetite.

                              You haven't been to NJ, have you? So much of that state is stunningly beautiful.

                                Only been to Sewaren, NJ. Uncle and aunt lived there. Always figured there had to be a nicer part of that state, the area around Sewaren sure didn't depict anything like a "Garden State".
