I know that this is a Classic Goldwing Forum, but I just came across a picture of my first bike, my 1981 Suzuki GN400 single cylinder kick start. I bought this bike in April '82 as a 1981 leftover brand new for $1,286. That included the bike and the following additional accessories; two helmets, plexifaring II windshield, custom black extended mirrors and chrome engine guard. That was a deal even back then!
I rode this bike everywhere year round! (I could not afford car insurance in Philadelphia at age 20!) I was looking at some of my old boat pictures when I found this. In the background is my 1956 24' Chris Craft sedan that I was restoring. ($50 - it was a great deal!! except that I had to haul it out before it sank! :smilie_happy: )
Take notice that I am carrying the propeller shaft on the side along with a tool bag and parts bag. I also had my classic red metal tool box with me but it was already up on the boat out of the picture.
Sure is fun looking back. :yahoo:
