      A year ago we were cleaning out our garage to host my oldest son's graduation party. My 1980 GS850GL had been quietly resting in the front of the garage for about 7 years. The wife was on a terror to get rid of things... including the motorcycle. We pushed it to the back yard for the party and I posted the photo below on Facebook Marketplace to sell the jack and wheel stand on May 11, 2024. I did sell the jack and stand... But I just couldn't let go of the bike. Later that month I started combing through this forum and ordering parts.

      My GS is not in the photo.. but if you look closely at the left side of the top, there is an electric dirt bike I bought for my younger son. So I'll say it qualifies.

              Voting for Bob, Baatfam this week. Always remembering, and wishing folks could have ridden the rural Hwy.129 and "Deals Gap", before it was ruined by the "Tail of the dragon" hype... Gosh it was great and peaceful back then... As usual, just my opinion.

                  I'll vote for storm 64​ - That was the first total solar eclipse I've witnessed and thought it was quite amazing.

                        Voting for Mr Storm64. For us regular people, eclipses are a once, or if you're lucky, twice in a lifetime thing.

                          Rich, Trevor, Jedz, Burque…
                          I am impressed that Norm thought to take picture of that situation.
                          I like the significance of Roger Burque pic.

                          Vote for Rich82.

                            Saturday Morning (I checked)

                            vote tally

                            rich 1, storm 2, trevor 2,
                            burque 1, baatfam 1, Jedz 1, Redman 1

                            so looks like we need a tiebreaker from someone that hasn’t voted yet, (Someone can verify, or send in alternate delegates.)
                            tie at 2 between Norm Storm Eclipse darkness and Trevor’s dual 1100s.

                              Looks like I forgot to vote. Trevor for the win.

                              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.
