    Good deal it still has the rear foot pegs. Your girlfriend will really enjoy the "ride".

        Nice looking bike Fred! I've always liked those and was looking for one when I bought my GS450.

        Met this fellow last year while riding the ferry back from our lunch spot in your neighborhood. Friendly Irishmen.

          Had one too. Called it the 2 mile nuts number the vibrations. literally made them tingle after a little riding. Guys love them for doing choppers out of. You were wise to go with the GS.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            Trev, it hasn't been ridden in 3 years,,, the flames were there but I did ride it,, 2 kms no insurance!
            Hey Charlie, looks like that guy really does have crash bars!

              Dont know about "good" vibrations, but they do have a way of shaking. The bobber and chopper guys also like them because the engines looks remind them of the Nortons.

                I say you should get out the sawzall and grinder and turn it into something like this! More your style anyway, Fred.

                    Yes it is quite nice, 19000 k on the clock, looks like it might be close to correct.
                    I can really appreciate the what the guys are doing to these bikes but that really isn't me.
                    I like to ride Far-n-Fast and take everything but the kitchen sink with me,,, plus I'll wrench them to make'em run but
                    not much into choppin or bobbin.

                      Hey Fred, thought you might enjoy seeing this little beauty that was parked a pub Glenn and I had lunch at the other day.
