Here's a few- 1980 GL 1100.

Thanks to my friend Ted who sold me this bike.

She's a beauty, and in VERY good condition!
You should feel proud to own her.

Real nice bike! :clapping:

I dunno, sure makes me want a Standard for running around! :music2:

 

[BigAndrew]

:clapping: :clapping: Looks Good :clapping: :clapping:

But i dunno if i like the idea of no engine guards... It would bother me too much to ride without them

That really is nice :clapping:

 

[Joep]

Nice looking Ride.... and I agree I would add the case savers.. them heads can get expensive.. ehhh Dan??

 

[sledge]

:music: VERY Nice . :music:

 

[AApple]

Thas-sa sweeet! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

I'd have to agree on the case guard thing....that's just scary to be unprotected...
I leaned mine into a turn yesterday enough to scrape my hi-way peg...another inch and it would have hit on the case guard... :blush:

Other than that, I likes it!! :good: :good:

That is very nice. When was the the last time you saw a clean L-side exhaust? :clapping:

~O~

Thanks everybody! Picked up a set of engine guards on Ebay tonight. Again, thanks to Ted the previous owner. I promised him that if he sold this one to me I'd help him get his '79 Vespa (1200 original miles) going again- I think I got the better of him this time !!!!

I think I'll call her 'Jean' after Ted's wife. She was US National bicycling time trial champion 3 times in the over 40 class- Ted was her coach. She's 80 now and can still go out and pedal 20 miles no problem.
