Sorry for the teaser post! My Internet connection is acting weird...
Layla is a 1981 GL1100 standard with dealer installed fairing and Hondaline side cases. I'm the third owner, as of today! She has just over 40,000 well maintained miles on the clock, and until last year was ridden regularly, if not extensively. The po had knee surgery and just didn't feel confident maneuvering it around any more. He did keep it fresh by starting and running it up to temperature every couple of months, which is good. He did not keep the tank full of fuel, however, or drain the carbs, so I've got leaky carbs and a powdery-rust coated fuel tank to deal with.
Other issues include a very weather-checked front tire, leaking fork seals, and fork oil-contaminated brake pads.
I may do some small stuff with her yet this fall, but will probably put her in storage for the winter, then go hot and heavy in the spring.
She got her name this morning... As I was pulling into the po's driveway to pick her up, Eric Clapton's 'Leyla' was blasting on my radio!
