my new bike, it's just beginning.


The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

'83 GS750E?  I can't quite make out the sidecover.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Hmm, this is just my opinion of course, but I don't think it's totally street legal yet. I could be wrong. :thumb:

yeah, not street legal yet, no mirrors  :thumb:

1983 gs1100e, it's an old drag racing frame a friend had, it's going to end up more drag than i origionally intended. but thoes are the kind of parts we have on hand  :dunno_white:

the motor will be mostly stock internals, but it will still be a big leap from a gs500 to an gs1100.

i'll try to keep pics coming as i build it.
