Estrn Washngtn retired mtn. farm truck turns into 87 GL 1200
Googling for help understanding front shocks, forks and fluid... led me to here!
As a past runner of the Kawasaki dual purpose KLR 600, up between the trees and off the road for good camping in private during the late 80'z and down the highway with my girl on the back from the Canadian border to 1500 miles south of the Mexican border... this big 1987 fully loaded GL 1200 is a new step for me.
I immediately opened my eyes at seeing some of the things you folks have done!
Started attending the Patriot Guard Rider honor rides in a cage last year. Knew I needed to ride another bike!
Bought it last week and did 700 miles, including across Eastern Washington and the weekend in Spokane traffic as I got the feel back.
Looking to cross the Cascade Mountains to the Washington and Oregon coast a few times this summer and also back to Montana to get killed by Indians at the reenactment of Custer's Last Stand on the Crow Rez in June.
Guess it's time to change the fork oil and the timing belt!
I have grandkids and my youngest daughter is almost 12. Dinner time! Be back later.
Glad you all are here. Thanks.
