    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for accepting my request to join. I just picked up a 78 GS 1000E from the second owner, he's owned it since 82. It's in really good shape only needs a few things - fork seals, directionals not working and rear master cylinder needs a rebuild. I had one back in 1983 so I'm gonna relive my youth with this one.
