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.
