        Those are some pretty historically significant bikes. '78 750? Year's best-performing 750. 1000E? (Skunk!) The bike that took the crown from King Kawasaki. I was 21 and remember it like it was yesterday.

        You were accepted as a member but not everybody is. We have strict rules: jackets and ties are required at all times; if you chew, you must use the spitoons. And above all, you must be breathing.

        So, welcome, and we'd love to see pics. The bikes from 1978 and 1982 are of particular interest to me.
        1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

        2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

          Welcome to the site, Sprocket.
          Sounds you own a fantastic riding stable.
          If you have TZRs you should do a search for site member Busa1300. He has a nice array of TZR, RGV and RZ.

                  Thank you I will look him up.the stable could do with a injection of cash but I'd rather be looking at them than for them. The tzrs were track bikes that need a lot of work.I have been hoarding parts for years now I have get going.regards
