First ride since restoring, bike sat 3 years

[scotterichmond]

Last night I finally was done with ALL the details of the restore. All I had left to do was the tune-up .
I forgot how scarry fast the 75 GL 1000 is, when everything is working just right.

I mean SCARRY fast!!!

Whoo hooo What a rush.

That is why they are so fun two up! It is a shame that so many are on the street with one or more bad carbs and the owner thinks that is they way Honda made them. But they were rocket ships back in 1975 and are still stout today compared to other touring rigs.

Nice work on the bike Scotter. I like scarry fast. My friend just bought a brand new Vulcan 1700 with EFI and I'd say mine is faster off the line. 33 years older and 700 less cc.

I might be one of those guys - probably need to fix my carbs - been thinking about Randakk's rebuild kit with the DVD for a while, need to pull the trigger.

Randakk's DVD and carb kit and you are going to be a rockship if you can watch the DVD three times. Go for it.
