Hey all!! I'm new to this sight all the way from Edson, Alberta, Canada. Did a quick google search for some info, and this sight popped up. Here's my story.....
Back in 1994, my Dad came across a 1976 GL1000 sitting in an old garage he was working in, and he ended up bringing the bike home for a cool $700. It ran pretty good and had pretty low mileage on it. Dad stopped riding it in 2005 and passed away in 2008, and the bike was given to me. It has sat in my shed, out of the elements since then until just last week, when I decided to clean out the shed, took a good look at the bike and relived the trips Dad and I took. Next thing I knew, the bike was being rolled out of the shed and into my shop. I am beyond overjoyed to be working at getting this classic back on the road. Now just over a week in and I have it torn down a bit and am cleaning it up. Gonna need a little of all your combined knowledge as mine only goes so far on this 'ol girl.
Thank you in advance to all the info you will be able to provide. :thanks:
