      The proper way to do it. Find a (big, fast) motorcycle you love, buy it and never sell it. Much too rare these days. Happy Anniversary!

        Proud for you man, but be careful we may read something into this about how many birthdays you must have had..

          Great that you still have the paperwork/receipts and the bike and photos.

          speaking of the photo, why is there some kid in picture of your bike?

          Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.

            Why does it have to be big, or fast, Rob?

              I was deployed to Japan/Korea/Philippines but some how had a CW magazine with the ad for the new GS1100. I had a KZ650 back at base in Cherry Pt, NC but lusted for the new Suzuki and made it my mission to find one when I got back. Yes ! Big and fast !! Not sure how I found it but located a small (very small) dealership going out of business in Jacksonville NC. He had one bike.....

                Oh I get that big and fast in bikes is one set of criteria (and I still own my brother's former CB900f, which, back when he got it in the early 80's, was pretty impressive on those fronts), but I know guys who bought Honda C90s and who have celebrated anniversaries with similar joy. A friend for years had (don't know if he still does) an RD400 he purchased new 30 years before.

                I dig your lust for the 1100, though! I felt that way in 1985 when the VMax showed up on the dealership floor.
