Hi Guys, I've done a deal on a 1980 GS1000G which, all being good is having an MOT put on it right now ready for me to collect on the weekend. Can't wait, I'm very excited.
So here's an intro: I had bikes when I was younger 16-20 only little stuff:
Yamaha DT50MX
Suzuki GP100 (wrote that one off)
Yamaha RS100
I never took my test back then. but then after college I got a job 70 miles away so sold up everything I had and took out a loan for a sensible diesel car.
Always promised myself if I ever lived and worked in the same city I'd go back to bikes.
So 8 years later landed a job in London, rented a flat and got myself a little 100cc scooter, which was perfect for the task. Also within very short time, met someone, got married had a kid. Ran out of money, so from then on we were a 1 car family and bike were my main transport.
Had the scooter for a year, gained experience and took my test and worked my way through:
Yamaha Thundercat 600
Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis
Kawasaki ZZR600
Kawasaki ZX-7r
Kawasaki ZX-9r
Finally got in a position to have a 2nd car, but circumstance changed and I sold the 9r, with the intention of replacing it in a few months.
3 years later I'm now able to replace it. But didn't fancy going (or didn't think I should go) back to super fast sports bikes.
I fancied a more 'traditional' motorbike and hence how I came to find this.
I'll post some pics once I've got it.
