sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty
Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

Yes! I know how to spell GPz1100. In 1982, when I had just bought a new Z28 and still rode my '73 Z1, I lusted after a GPz1100. I wouldn't have known a GS11E if it came up and bit me on the rear (which it frequently did in street races).
But it must be 1100. I just don't understand the others. A neighbor I rode with bought a new GPz 750 around that time, and I kept asking him why he didn't get the 1100. "The 750 is fast enough," he always told me.
Yes, I know. But if you're going that far, why not go all the way? And, finally...
I know that in '82 the big GPz was air-cooled and chain driven. In later years, I suspect some were water-cooled shafties. As Charlie Brown's friend Linus would say, "If that's true, don't tell me. Cause I don't wanna know."1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Turned out it was the auxiliary tank causing most of my set-up problems.
The hose to the carbs was disintegrating on the inside and kept dumping crap in to the carbs.

Drake's Well in Titusville Pennsylvania. 1865
Home of Robert's Torpedo.
A device that would increase the flow of oil by using explosives!
They would set off the Nitroglycerin charge deep into the well, causing the oil to flow with vigor.
The Nitro was made .4 miles away from this location. 20200425_142429.jpg

This is the last tank I will give someone else to seal for me. (he sat it in a bin with the petcock partially open)
Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.
Nature bats last.
