    New to this forum.

    Hi folks,

    New to the forum and just saying hello from Ireland.

    Been around bikes for forty plus years, driven most japanese bike plus a couple of shovels ( I'm ok now)
    I own a GS 850 G and a GS550 L which I'm turning into a chop/bobber/ special or whatever it finishes up as.
    I have to say that this forum is a mine of information, best wishes to ye all and stay safe.
    Jimo.

        I would add a seat, maybe some wheels.

            Hi Jimo, in case you haven't found it yet http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

            As you can tell the slagging starts on day one. Some of us are even good at taking it as well as dishing it out

              Welcome to the forum. Stay, so i will no longer be the least adept at attaching pictures. Actually, they're not bad at all if I view them while hanging upside down from my spinal decompression unit.
              1983 GS 1100 Guided Laser
              1983 GS 1100 G
              2000 Suzuki Intruder 1500, "Piggy Sue"
              2000 GSF 1200 Bandit (totaled in deer strike)
              1986 Suzuki Cavalcade GV 1400 LX (SOLD)

              I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

                You should try taking a photo while standing on your head, I was working off the phone and tbh dont have a clue about the infernal thing. Ill post a few pics when I get time to figure it out.

                  Upside down pics must be because you are over on the other side of the world. ;-) Welcome to the site.
