Checking in from Colorado
Hey all. I'm Greg, living on the Front Range. I recently picked up a '76 GL that'll need a little TLC before it gets on the road. Looking forward to all the resources available here.

Re: Checking in from Colorado
Welcome from the UK, as has been said there doesn't look like you need to do a lot, apart from change the belts!
Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on
1981 CX500 good mid range tourer, went to Austria on it!
1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.

Re: Checking in from Colorado
Thanks all. The bike has a little under 47K miles. History is unknown; it was described at auction as a 'recent restoration'. Looks like someone may gotten part-way through the project and stopped for whatever reason. Anyway since bringing it home the fuel tank's getting a good cleaning and new tires on (Avon Roadmasters). Carbs will need attention and yes, timing belts. New MAC headers went on yesterday and a pair of EMGO Dunstall replica reverse megaphones are on order.
