Nou , wat kan ik zeggen, heel mooi. Ik ben bezig met mijn eigen motorfiets naar 15 jaar in het garage. Ik ben Engels en speek redelijk goed Nederlands. Schrijven doe ik ook in het Engels wijze en nog steeds naar 27 jaar woonachtig en getrouwde met een Tilburgse Nederlander. Nu wonen wij in Engeland. So now I will revert back to English. what a really nice bike, I have started down this road with mine and it is hard to make the right decision, custom or as Mr Honda intended. Personnaly I have decided to go custom, but she wont be too far from standard, so if I need to she can always go back.

Well, what can I say, very nice. I'm working on my own motorcycle to 15 years in the garage. I'm English and speek Dutch fairly well. I also write in English mode and still to 27 years living and married with a Dutchman Tilburg. Now we live in England.

It looks better than new, fantastic work.

Today the restauration of my GL1000 K1 became finished for 99,5%; radiatorwings to be treated, carb's to be adjusted and some minor work to be done.
Made my maiden trip this afternoon to the gasstation, 7 mls v.v; she was running excellent; it is a very impressing experience after all those years.
The K1 is 40 years old and has 10.600 mls on the odo; 37 years of ownership of which the last 32 years stored in my garage under a selfmade plane...........my age was 35 when I purchased her, next month I hope to be 72 years old.
The restauration lasted 11 months in which I did spent approx. 750 hours of labour and a couple of thousand dollars for motorparts, paint, polishing, new set of tires, SS spokes, etc, etc.........the engine and frame were spraypainted and all tubes were treatad from the inside with an anticorrosion-protection (400 ml of stuff); the coloured panels still have the original paint as supplied by the factory.

Wow! I am suspect, though. Perhaps Sir rudolphwolven built a time machine to whisk himself back in time & recover a brand spanking new machine to bring to the present. We may need a certified third party inspection to determine that a time machine was not used in the restoration. I would pitch in if we needed to crowd-fund an inspector. Wow!

Very nice job! You should very proud!
