Fantastic looking bike, you must be very satisfied with yourself.
Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on
1981 CX500 good mid range tourer, went to Austria on it!
1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.

Kroosa,
Nice job!!! Decided to keep the 78 seat? I think the bike is way too shiny to tell you the truth!
It was cool to be a small part of that. Thanks! She is sweet.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "MAN, WHAT A HELL OF A RIDE!"

Thank you all for your compliments and kind words. I am indeed happy with the result and very proud to have her selected as BOTM. I will have her at the NW Run at Kettle Springs tomorrow and Saturday. Hope to see some of you there for some socializing and riding.
