I am 56,have a 1980 gs 1000 gl.It is the 12th bike i have owned and i love it.Right now I am waiting on a speedometer drive to come in special order since mine quit.I could find used ones on ebay, but thaey wouldnt necessarily last so i bought new for $68.00.I got rid of a 2001 royal star tour deluxe and bought this bike.I like the fact it is 25 years old and will outrun almost any cruiser made still today.I am 56 years old, but never grew out of my need for speed.Hope to online chat with you guys and gals.
