Atila the Hun, 84 GL1200 disguised as a GL 1000

Both are independent suspension, floating axle types?? That should help.

Yeah, I definitely want it to be IRS, I've seen some pics of the Subaru but haven't had time to look up the Miata but was told it was basically the same set uo

Oldest daughter had one of those Justys. I guess the rear suspension/drive was Ok, but the rest of it rivaled Yugo in quality.

Went into the hospital last Friday and got out Monday, , back for ultrasound on leg veins today and. BAck to hospital this coming Monday for class on congestive heart failure, kind of crowding my building time. Anyway, was cleaning up front rotors and found this, just what I needed, like new, this bike had 44k on it when it was gently laid over in a mud filled ditch so there is hardly any wear on parts like this so the hunt begins for a reasonable match. 1984 front right rotor stamped on rivet strip R. C. W. Not enough wear to even catch a finger nail.

Well that sucks, on both accounts. Hoping for the best of course.

Training the next generation of wingers, 5 year old grandson, he decided he wanted to twist some wrenches. He said Papaw hand me those motorcycle books and I ask him why, he said we have to have the instructions. I had to turn away to keep a straight face He was dead serious too !!! Life couldn't be any better at that moment.

I don't hold him back and encourage him to use the right tools, pretty sharp cookie !!

Charish these moments. Man, there is just nothing more sweet and dear to the heart.
