    BRD electric motorcycle

    I know people are going to shit all over this thing but they're starting to make this things lighter, faster, and longer run times. I like the fact that you can run both gas and electric.

    78 GS1000 Skunk

    Picked this up the other day. 78 GS1000, 41,000 miles, new tires, and the PO had an electronic ignition installed. She runs pretty well and seems to be all there. The PO was using it for a drag bike. I'm a big fan of the spoke GS's and the fact that you don't see many of them. Kind of digging...
