[Water Warrior 2]

[quote=Road_Clam][quote="Water Warrior":78cr5e5p]I count 18 bikes total. If you had them all right now you could open your own store. And yeah, you should have kept the GS1100E. Awesome bike.[/quote]

Here's my '82 GS1100E restoration :

OOOOOOOOOH, that is so pretty. Beautifully restored. It seems the bikes from the 80's were the best looking and most user friendly when it came to comfy ergonomics. Many of the older GS models are just too nice throw out and happily find a new home for a caring owner.
A friend has an 84 GS 1100 and rides to work as often as possible. It has a custom swing arm and assorted other upgrades that make it a killer bike but is still streetable. He has another that was used as a drag bike in Eastern Canada and is just too much for the street and is very hard to ride at a normal pace.
I think my two fav bikes for appearance are the older V-Max and the Kawi Lawson replicas. They look all business and can prove it too. Good thing I never got a really fast bike cause I would surely be dead long ago. I had enough narrow escapes in cages when I was younger. Passed a LEO with radar one day at 135 mph in a Rambler. His Dodge 440 interceptor had it's work out that day. LOL
