Gidday there peter, nice to have you and your GS 1100 on-board from the Hutt. Plenty of info about them on here as many have them. Enjoy the site and see if you can get to a ride to earn a 'STICKET"
peter's an old mate from the main forum from years ago when i first started fiddling with the GS... welcome!
Wait, wait. I am sure that I recall the gentleman in question once proclaiming that he owned an example of the legendary Spagthorpe ! Is that the machine which he puts forward for qualification? If so , we are in the presence of the divine.
Sorry no Spagthorpe (I once did claim to have a Wheezehound but that was only because I knew no-one would believe I really had an Elbonian Zorch) I do have however a GS1100GK that has been languishing in the (pile of shit I refer to as a) shed for some years and getting it back on the road has taken moved up to first place on the bucket list. I'd really like to hang a sidecar off it as well.
Please - no sidecar. That is what a BMW is for.
