Long ago I bought a neglected 1980 GL1100 plain jane. It was to be a project to keep me out of trouble (fat chance), keep the miles down on the 18 ( will never happen), and to fritter vast amounts of money away on.
Things change. Two house moves, two relationships down the tubes, job problems. You know the score. I'm now sitting at home during shielding, but I still have the neglected 11. I have been dropping in to have a look around the site now and again, and I then noticed Black Beauty. Smitten, and deeply motivated.
At the start of the shielding I built a new workbench in the garage, did the decorating that I could be bothered doing, and then turned my attention to the sad number of boxes the 11 had been relegated to over the years. I had started to think about getting some work done on the bits, and then the picture.
I will be starting a new project in the correct section, please drop in and pass comment and suggestions.
Stay safe

Good to be back
