Howdy all! Yet another person from AZ!
My bike is a 1980 GS1000G (Shafties rule!) It's my restore project, and my daily driver. As a matter of fact, it's the only vehicle I've ever owned that's gotten better looking while I owned it. (I've been referred to at times as "automotive death" )
I hope you don't mind all the pics in my intro... I just love my bike!

Well, my x-wife would never allow me to have a motorcycle before, so my first bike was a divorce present to myself.
Three years ago I purchased my first bike, a Suzuki Marauder 800. I had to sell it a year and a half later to pay the rent (really long and dramatic story there), but I picked this one up last May.

Nice lookin' bike. Gotta love those old UJMs. I like it a lot better without the giant Windjammer and the bags. Those are great for long-haul touring, but I don't care for them on a daily driver.
We've just started getting some of the best riding weather of the year, so go have fun with it!
