This new old bike has been places. Nevada Arizona area in 105 degrees.
These days it sits in a garage near Vancouver BC, gathering dust.
Has been sitting for ten years or more. Brakes have jammed on, do not know if the engine will turn over. Tyres are almost flat.
Under the dust is a mint 1980 Yamaha XS1100G, with about 20,000 miles on it.
It is in show room condition. It will be mine, papers are signed. Waiting for a the day to come, for the current owner.
Bike has a Vetter fairing with lowers and a high window, rear bags and box.
Seat is inside the main house and is mint. Forks and chrome fenders and exhaust, show no rust spots.
Will take some work to get it running, but when I do, it will be the two up fair weather bike. Current Yami will get the side car duty, the XS400 will still be the winter bike, and the SV1000 will be the solo summer bike.
Might eventually run the Midnight Special, quite non stock. Red frame and all.
I will also be getting a motorcycle trailer and a few other items.
It is a strange feeling accepting these items from a guy who will soon die. He is also Shirley's first husband. She has never been on this bike. They had divorced prior to its purchase.
