I found some pics from back then, first full year I had my first 1100, some pictures from a holiday in Germany and Austria... In those days cornering was more important than enjoying the scenery Sorry about the bad quality as they are scans from slides .. still hope you enjoy ..

Some classic pics for sure!.........gotta' love the footgear for peg-dragging corners.
Nice case guards...........that look to REALLY work with minimal bike damage.
