And you probably thought their electrical systems sucked when new....
Actually the electrical system on them is not "worse".... ;) However after all this time the bikes have leaked out ALL their oil. But I do like the new color.

Brings a new meaning to "flooded".

Great photos and an interesting article. I lived in Jeddah, KSA from '78 to mid '86 and there were a lot of divers exploring wrecks along the coast north or Jeddah. Beautiful clear water and a large variety and numbers of marine life to be seen even when just snorkeling. Lots of sunshine and little rain unlike Seattle.
