Topic: Went Out On The GPZ For A bit Today

[bill440cars]

        And THAT bike feels [size=135pt]AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size] and, besides that, Iit does feel GREAT!     That's the BIGGEST bike I've ever ridden, much less owned.

        Getting used to the low, short bars, but the front end IS stiff. Either the bearings are too tight or it's got some balls that aren't completely round. In either case, I'm gonna have to make some time, take the frontend off and replace those bearings with the tapered set that the seller sent with the bike. That ought to be a tremendous improvement! I can hardly wait!!!!


             Updates coming!     And, SOON, with a report on the CBX, with photos!

Bill,

Somewhere along the line I missed out on a report of you owning a GPZ and a CBX. Geez, must be nice  What's the scoop? You didn't go buy that extremely low mileage CBX I previously mentioned did you?

       No, No, I didn't get THAT one. I do sorta know the fellow that had THAT one listed though. I met him through my local buddy. And that buddy is who I am buying the CBX from ( I say buying because I have paid half of the price now and will pay it off soon. It is a Black 80' CBX that Edie ,my buddy, detailed thaone out to loof similar to this one:

                                   
                           

   
             Now, the one I'm getting has a stock airbox on it, an exhaust system that looks like a 6 into 2 Kerker, but it's not a Kerker. The one I'm getting also has a stock seat and the polished engine covers on mine, are not finned. I think that's the main differences in the one in these photos and the one I am buying.


                                     

                                     


                ANd these are photos of the GPZ1100

                                     

                                              

                                     

                                     

                                     



                                     



             Now, the photos of the GPZ are from the seller's listing and I hope to provide photos of my onw of BOTH bikes soon.

  Except mine is an 83' with a Kerker 4 into 1. Good looking bikes, huh?                     AND they DO run well!   I haven't opened it up, but it IS quite "Snappy".

I figured it was a bit early in the year to be referencing it, but what the hell  (shot my eye out)

[bill440cars]

You be carefull Billy.

Sam.

         Sure will, Sam!   I'll be Real Careful (not to shoot me eye out, that is.)     Don't you worry, I was taught a long time ago, that you lose respect for the bike, you lose! Yep, that was what I was taught!

                      Ha! Ha! No doubt where THAT came from. We are fans of "The Christmas Story" ourselves. We (Brenda, Karls and I) used to watch THAT one every year AND all the way through the annual marathon of that show. AND, if that wasn't enough, we also have it on tape!
