    new member from Indiana

    I'm new to this forum and glad to be here! I currently own a '77 GL1000 and a '91 GL1500. I've owned and sold a couple of other bikes. Had no idea what I was getting into when I bought my first vintage motorcycle years ago, but I've dove into some wrenching and restoration projects and learned some things about troubleshooting, patience and perseverance.
    I love to ride and do so on a tight budget so when I got the chance to pull the head apart and put it back together for cash on my neighbor's '82 GS1100E I jumped into it.
    I've learned that this bike is a special machine and I respect it a lot more than the guy who's been riding it.
    I started a thread in the rebuild/restoration section and was directed to a site where I found the shop manual I need. Who knows? Maybe my next bike will be a classic Suzuki!

          Sounds like a good idea.

          THis website is a good reason to have an 80s Suzuki if you are going to have an 80s bike.
