Hello,
My name is Jorg and I'm a new owner.
I got into bikes in college around 78. I started with a basket case 71 bonneville which I rebuilt into stock, then drag bike, then clubman racer. Around the same time bought a 750-H2 which I built into a cafe racer. Got into dirt bikes and sportbikes. Last bikes where a GSXR 1100 and a CR500. I stoped riding when my son was born 17 years ago.
A lot of bad stuff has been happening to friends and family around me and I decided I'd better get back into it while I still can. So I started looking with the intention of buying an 1100 and stripping and customizing it down into a retro style (50's BMW), sprung solo seat etc.. I ended up with a 30k miles 83 Interstate that's just too nice to butcher.
I have some minor improvements planned (series regulator, LED's, etc.) but mostly intend to just keep her in good shape. The photo is from the previous owner. I've made quick disconnects for the light bars so I can remove them and the trunk for around town.
