Yes! Thank you you you :D The dream is back - where can I buy one of those Amish hat things for Mrs. GG? :D She does resemble Kelly in her better days - hmmm maybe that's why I married her? :D

No! The dream is dead again - I called the dealer and the GPZ1100 is gone :(

The 900R is an iconic and revolutionary bike, one of the all time greats.
Think of it in Hollywood terms, the 900R would be Clint Eastwood, the 1100 would be Donnie Wahlberg.

Err no, in 1984 (long before Google was born) I test rode one.
It was miles ahead of what was around at the time.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
