Overview

In early 2009, we picked up an old 1982 Suzuki GS850GL for Kim. A little big for a first bike, but then these are not power houses so its still a good size. The bike needs some work thats for sure, but is decent enough.

The Purchase

We looked for a couple of weeks on craigslist and attempted to see other simulaly sized and priced bikes, but many times they were sold before we could get a chance to see them. We found this one from some old guy that had it sitting in his storage unit a couple hours drive from our place.

So we took a drive down and after getting it to fire up enough to hear the engine run, we offered $50 less than he was asking and sealed the deal. Looking back, I'm sure I could have gotten him even lower. I'm not a very good haggler.

We loaded it on a trailer and brought it home. As of 6/2009, still working on it. Work log with details below.!

All strapped down and ready to go.	Will have to get that ding out before painting the tank.	Marsellus is there to make sure we strap it down right.
That rear seat rest has gots to go!	No description for this photo yet.	Kim poses on her new bike. She named it Suzi. :)
To many witty descriptions come to mind...	I think they are saying they are bored and ready to go.
