Kudos for the way you restored the bike, from parts and style to color, i love it !

First bike show of the season

Took a couple of my bikes to a local show last weekend. First public viewing of my GS, and first time out in 3 years for my GT. A Kawasaki triple took the trophy, ...everybody loves an H2 I guess
Saw viperg at the show and talked as I was loading back up to head home...
It was good to talk to you again in person, and hope to make it to the next show your at in a few more weeks...just need to decide what I'll be taking...???

I've got it on the calendar, as it gets closer I'll have a better idea if I'll make it down there.
I need to get some more miles on the bike to make sure nothing will fall off on a long far off ride.

Busa, I hope you seriously consider stopping by at the Brown County Rally. You're definitely a character I'd like to meet. 👍

I loved mine from the first ride, until the day it died....at the hands of a friend who slammed into a car that pulled out in front of him.
The bike was perfect in everyway for me with no issues ever for the 3 years I had it....The silver/red combo I think was the best out of the close to 15 year lifespan of the FJ series.
And the engine lived on to the XJR, up until last year I believe. That is over 30 year life span of a engine design, it is a good one in my opinion.

I kinda want to pick your brain about the FJ1100, there's a lot of used ones here for sale here in really good condition.

kkkkkkkkkkk


round, and cleaned the whole thing up good. Then put on a new deal just to b

Yea they can be bought with a reserve feature.
The other GS1000 that I pulled the carbs from has one now.
But I need to leave that one, since the 33 smoothbores I'm putting on that will need it like the 29's did.

Pingels have reserve? Never used one myself.
