Greetings

[captain-longstride]

Hello from merry old England! My name is Billy, I'm 25, from the North-East, drive and deliver cars for a living, qualified welder/fabricator, motor enthusiast for many, many years. Been riding for 8 years, full licence holder for two.

I am currently restoring a poorly maintained GS500 1992 with 25k on the clock... Aswell as modifying some aspects of it. I will show this and what I've done/doing in the projects sub-forum.

Thanks for having me.

This is me and my steed at The Buttertubs Pass in the Yorkshire dales, Jeremy Clarkson's favourite stretch of British road.

Welcome to the site man! Looks like you're putting the little GS to good use already.

A welder / fabricator, huh? Cool - be sure to post pictures of your work!

Thanks Rich! I've actually had the bike for about a year, ran it for 6 months, got my driving job and decided to take her off the road for the restoration.
I bought it in a rush for a 5 day trip to The Lake district national park in Cumbria and into Scotland, at about 11pm the day before we we're due to head out. And I knew with it being a GS500 that it would have been fine and upon the pre-purchase viewing of the bike I knew it'd be adequite, even if she wasn't a looker. And I never looked back.

There will be many pictures to come, but here are a couple in its current condition.
