    1100EZ Newcastle Australia

    Hello from Rob in Newcastle Australia.

    I've had the little monster since 2002 and it never fails to scratch the itch.
    I was off the road for a couple of years which resulted in the old "rusty tank" problem.
    Have spent many hours resolving that issue and many more hours pulling, pushing and playing with carbs.
    The can of joy spills everywhere and before you know it your doing brakes, electrics and looking very closely at everything with a bloody torch.

    On the road again.

    Couldn't have done it without all the GS resources.

    Thanks

          my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

                  In the US that is a 1100ED and a rare color as well.

                      Good eye!

                      The wheels, the passenger foot peg mounts.

                          Thanks for the welcome.

                          I have always assumed the bike had been painted by the PO. I believe it's "Sherwood Green" ?
                          Also assumed the only colors made available in Aus were Champagne Gold or Champagne Gold.

                              Ha Ha, now I see it is actually green. The tank decal is not in an OEM spot and it is missing the side cover decals as well.
                              Still looks good.

                                  I guess the purists may disagree, but I like the lean, green look.
                                  Those in the know, know what it is and those that don't will have to ask.
