Had a nice chat with Mr Mikeyboy yesterday ...
So now looking forward to having a couple of my bikes sorted
1, 1988 GS100 PD, a lovely bike but with a long standing problem with a load on the back, pillion / luggage causing awful bar wobbles / tank slapping. Also a slight clutch slip when in top under load using the engine torque.
2, 1997 GS80 Kalahari, again a lovely bike but has turned into a bit of a smoker so Mike will be investigating and sorting that as well, possible rings / valves / guides
3, My lads GS80 Kalahari now just nudging 100 k km..
It's very original and looking a bit tatty after 20 plus years, runs lovely though but it maybe time to treat the old girl to some preventative maintenance , and improvements.
I'll mull my options when Mikeyboy views my lads bike, do I go for mechanical checks / maintenance / improvements ? Or treat my lad to a full resto
Looking forward to meeting Mike in the coming weeks and discussing my options.
