The mascot of the GS500.. The creature that's got the biggest ugliest a$$ of them all.
A wombat. It's got a big ugly a$$ too.

Finished what? Getting it into that small narrow space behind the car?

Finished painting it?
Finished putting a new chain on it?
Finished fueling it up?
Finished rebuilding it from a few plastic containers of nothing but parts?

What did you actually do? And do you have any before pics to show us?

here is the before pic with my girlfriend on it. . .its the only picture I have of it before it was all finished


I painted it similar to a Ducati since my girlfriend's brother bought some extra point.
Replaced the exhaust to stock.
The tail plastics were cracked, I used fiber glass to fix them
The tank was dented, I used a filler to smooth it out
Replaced the headlight, turn signals, and handle bars.
Cleaned the carb too and replaced the chain.

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?

Well done!

I hope you're not referring to the bike in that picture...
