Thanks Paul, sure wished I had kept the Beemer.

Oh man you must miss it. I love that vintage look. Not to worry. We all have our regrets :thumbdown:

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.

Speaking 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.

Oh man. What a nice old photo. If your dad is still around thank him for me for his service.

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!
