[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 134657, member: 2409"] Didn't go for a ride today because of this... :crying: [GALLERY=media, 24477][/GALLERY] But I had a very nice ride yesterday...probably the last one of the year. It was about 15C (60F) here. Rode from Calgary out to Cochrane and back to Calgary via Airdrie. About 100 km in all. All secondary roads where you can cruise along at 90 to 100kph. :Egyptian: Bike ran like a charm. The old 1100 is great for that kind of riding. Only turning 3000 to 3700 rpm, no vibration, nice and smooth. Pulls well at those low rpms due to the excellent single Weber carb. BTW to me it is impressive that this motor is solidly mounted in the frame and has no balancer shafts but is virtually vibration-free. This ride was a pleasure ride but also a test ride for a back rest that I have added. I can see now why people talk about putting forward controls on. The last couple of years I have been moding a testing the old GW but next summer I want to do some serious long touring. Here is the back rest with plywood/foam for experimenting.
