    Newbie from Seattle

    Just picked up a 1980 GS850GT. Doesn't run yet, half the parts are in a box, but I was lookin' for a project and I found one. Looking forward to getting going on it.

        Welcome. Good luck with the parts sorting and wrenching.

                Welcome to the site. Looks like we have more bait for the John Day Rally.

                  I was perusing your site last night after signing up here. You've got some great stuff on there. I'm gonna be there a lot as I figure out what's what. Thanks!
