80's GS

Jam jar bottomed long faced Deirdre Barlow/Langton/Rachid and unpopular Radio 1 tennis playing toss bag homophobe DJ Mike Read lookalike poses with newly purchased GS1000 sometime in the late '80s. The bike probably stayed like this for about a week before i rebuilt and re-painted it as photo 2.
In the background is a BMW 316 in which i went to Santa Pod Euro Finals and lost the keys having to scrounge a lift home then go back (400 mile round trip) next day with van and trailer.
Paint on our workshop doors was very shiny too.

That intro sounded like one of Radcliffe and Maconie's 'This just in'. Great. Ta G
