    Good on ya! 10:30 saturday mornin there huh.. i'll hazard a guess it's wet, cold and not looking good for a ride out today?

    Thats funny, they won't let you out in a denim jacket but they'll let ya out in a swede jacket with tassels, some timberlands and jeans... oh the irony.

    Welcome again mate, if you haven't noticed from my accent, i'm a thick norfern monkey who swam over here 7 years ago..and i'm not going back

    geez Dan, we not only have to work on your navigation skills , but we are going to have to teach you something about classic motorcycles.

    From the looks of it, Jonboy's GSX1100 has has some pretty serious mod work done to it. They originally had a twin shock rear end and a pretty spindly front end, this is what a standard one looks like.

    Welcome aboard Jonboy, what else has been done to your machine??

    Haha, not just a motorcyclist but an enthusiast, good effort mate.
    I love these older hot rodded bikes, and for some reason you seem to see a few more of them in the UK, dunno why.

    Cool bike mate, and there are so many out there that would say don't spend money on it but rather get a new bike - The thing is once you fall in love with a particular bike - it is just pure fun keeping it and doing the odd mods - Well done. - I really enjoy my sv650s and am thinking of doing some mods on it - Already done the pipe etc.
