Who rides a motorcycle?

I bought an 81 Suzuki GN400 for commuting. We moved and I let it sit for 19 years then I cleaned it up and began commuting again.View attachment 296114
Then I bought an 87 Suzuki Savage- LS650 and used that. I Love the single cylinder- easy to work on.View attachment 296124
Then my hip arthritis kicked in, and after moving the pedals around, lowering the seat, changing the angle, etc I gave up. I couldn't trust my left leg to support my weight at a stop, or to shift reliably. Getting my leg over the bike was hard too. I sold them both.

Your GN400 looks just very similar to a 1980 Kawasaki Kz440 Ltd I am restoring they are nice street bikes so easy to ride I really like that size bike for zipping around town! :thumbsup: Sorry to hear you gave riding up I know you miss it.

IMG_0209[1].jpgSpeaking of vintage bikes, here's a photo of my dad, taken in 1945, astride his Indian while in the Navy in Florida. He gave it up after getting married.

Wow, all great bikes! Some of those pics make mine look ..downright old & dirty! (but, they're all daily riders....)

Paul, haven't I seen some of your work in the VJMC mag? Gorgeous stuff!
