... I have wanted an old bike for a while. I have a Honda VTX and a GL1200A. Both are fantastic bikes, but both are over 800 lbs (over 360kg). Over the last few months, I have searched the advertisements for a kicker. My last kickstart bike was 30 years ago, a GP100, which always started the first time. Last Saturday, I found this on the Facebook marketplace. When I showed the listing to the wife, it turned out it was one of her friends, so we agreed this was life kicking us and stating I should buy it. 1979 T140D, American with peanut and high bars), came with some customizations and additions. OMG, I love it; one day, I will manage to start it. Yes, the seller showed me, and I didn't pay much attention. (I will start another thread asking for help) Glad to be here... BONNEVILLE... there can be only one. Rob from Oregon, 55 years old, original Brit, now moved to the US ofA. Started riding in my early 20's, then took a break to raise two kidlings. Now, back to motorbikes. This may be rusty and a little old, but I can still ride. I have more rust than the bike does.
She's a beauty. Welcome btw. Is that an MG lurking in the background ? Oh, and how I wish I had that much garage space.
