I know the rules....here it is

[Squidley]

As always if it isn't seen on the site then it's not real....so here is the '89 I purchased in Vermont.

I have to take a minute and thank a few folks here...

Bobgobob, The mufflers cleaned up pretty well and they sound great. Also the master Cylinder and rear reservior work wondrufly, as well as the front brake handle switch, Thanks again for all of it

Lonna, now I'll tell you folks something, this little woman of mine is not afaraid to get dirty or break a nail. The bike looks as good as it does because while I was fixing, she was cleaning. It looks fantastic and most of you when you do see it wont believe it has over 100K on it.

Jus monkeyin around, Dave was the one that came and trailer the bike to my house when our trailer puked. He's been over to the house several times and helped me along with it, he's been a really big help with all of this

I fianlly took it out today as I am still waiting on forward exhaust clamps, but improvised with hose claps to hear it run To my surprise, when I warmed it up and hooked the Carbtune to it, it was almost perfect, just a few little tweaks and level lines were had. I am very happy so far as I know this bike has been setting for awhile. It is VERY smooth running and has LOTS of power, life is good and cycle therapy is just around the corner once I get insurance on her.

Thanks again to all involved with the trip to get her home and the help here in Michigan...looking forward to riding after being without one for 2 month

Looks like you found a 1st gen that was pretty well taken care of cosmetically.

Great looking ride, Squid. Mine looked a lot like your first two pictures a couple of months ago. I know how good it feels to get it back together. Your garage looks a whole lot better than mine, though! lol

[Venturous Randy]

Hey, you and Lonna have a real nice looking bike. Now, if we could just find a real nice place here in east Tennessee to keep it parked for you.

[Marcarl]

Yep, sure looks blue alright,, be able to see you coming from 5 miles away,, good thing too, for blue has been pro-ported to be fast,,, reeeeally fast,, not as nimble as brown, and maybe a bit slower on the takeoff,, but still fast enough to make some think that they are fast.

Enjoy it Lonna, and make sure he rides it nicely and doesn't get it dirty.

[Freebird]

Beautiful bike. I've seen something like that before. It's a Bridgestone isn't it?

Looks good Brad. Lonna's getting pretty familiar with the inner cleanings of those 1st gens, huh.......

Yeah...it's a strait shot to Houston, perhaps a little Fat Bastard will be in order

[Guest Ken8143]

Nice bike Squidley. Beautiful color. Just wait until it gets a bit more faded and then it will be a really fast bike.

[Grandpagak]
