      Wow, I've spent a lot of money on this bike! Looks good to me though. I plan on giving this bike to one of my Son's. When they grow up. I get a lot of compliments from Harley riders believe it or not. Only wish I could somehow touch up the frame, it shows some age, little scratches and stuff like that. Would like to strip it and get it powder coated.

        Well. I see alot of creativity here. I also see alot of pride, endurance, workmanship, and mainly, the will to stay dedicated to an old girl that can teach a new girl a thing or two.

          Got my 80SG for nothin in Dec. 03, 23k miles and add 1k in past 9mo. Dad gave it to me. Put about $200 in carb boots, clutch cable, and getting road legal. Excellent condition except for the dent in the tank. I consider it a reminder to keep me inline. Dad laid it over in turn of raming a car's bumper.
          Too much I would like to put into it, not enough in the pocket book to fund it.

            $900 for '79sf. R.I.P.
            $900 for '81H. 35k at purchase. Lost left side cover in first week of riding [non-fatal laydown at gravel infested intersection in the middle of the night]. That's gonna cost me. P/O had carbs rebuilt and cam chain replaced prior to 2 years' dry storage. Not happy with the tires [Continentals]; still got one riding season left in them. Rode the GS750 2 blocks to my neighbor's house to pick it up .Drove it home and walked back to retrieve the GS. SCORE!!!!
