    My 7 year old Grandson saw the GS and staked his claim,

    He took one look at the 81 GS1100 side cover emblem and said this bike was made for me! His initials are GS.

      We rode his Honda XR70R, he's not quite ready to solo but since he had his helmet here, we took the GS for a lap through the neighborhood. He scored a nice Simpson helmet bag and made a few bucks picking and cutting sticks in the yard. He's saving for a winch for his little 4 wheeler. I offered a hand crank belt type winch but he thinks power ones are cooler in case he gets stuck. We also put the Briggs engine back in the Cat Slingshot minibike but failed to get it started. Parts are ordered.

        Seems good taste, it must run in the family. Also convince grandpa the hand crank will not work, definitely needs the power unit. Pretty sharp & only 7?
