    First Motorcycle. My "new to me" 1978 GS1000. Kalispell, MT

    Title pretty much says it all. I've owned this beauty for about 3 weeks. First motorcycle i've ever owned and i'm feeling extremely lucky. I've got a local connect that is an amazing wrench on these late Suzukis. It should be fun. I've got a picture in my mind of what i want this thing to come out like but i'm going to get everything running happy and healthy before i start doing any body work.

        That's a pretty nice start you have there, and a good plan in mind to get all the important mechanical issue sorted out first before you start putting your own personal touch to it. Looking forward to the progress.
