My 1150 has not run since 2005 and I am determined to get back on the road this year.
My first GS was a 1980 GS550E i bought brand new. What a fun bike that was.
Traded it in on a new 1981 Ducati 900ss. That was a confidence inspiring machine.
Bought a Yamaha 360 on/off road bike in a bunch of boxes and got it back together.
Few dirt bikes later bought a Kawasaki triple 2 stroke 750 for $30, yup $30. New gas, tied a rope around my
friends bumper and dragged it around the parking lot until it started. A weekend of cleaning, little spray paint,
fluids and tires and I was on the road. Pretty fun. Not much happened until it was on the pipe and then hold on.
Got a great deal on an almost new 1989 Katana 750. Enjoyed that until it was stolen. Still *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ed!
Found my 1150 and brought it home around 1991?. PO had painted it gray.
V&H pipe, individual air filters, rejetted carbs, it ran well, sounded good.
Few more bikes here and there.
Insert life got in the way story here.
Anyway, looks like a great site. I'll get a project page going and add some pictures as I start ordering parts.
