[QUOTE="Granger, post: 984632, member: 29215"] I was in college in my 20's and wanted wheels so I bought a used 1975 Suzuki GT380: 3-cyl, 2-stroke, 5 speed street bike. Nearly burnt out the clutch practicing figure-8's without putting feet down for the PA cycle license test (Trooper said: "Next time, take the test on a smaller bike."; I replied: "There will never be a 'next time'."). :dribble: I rode the GT380 for 4+ years, including a Philadelphia to Daytona Beach, FL run and back one summer on Interstate 95 at 75mph+. I added a large Clearview windshield, custom bars and pegs, and rear trunk deck and a loud horn. Awesome bike. As the engine aged I tore it down and rebuilt it, the tranny too, also swapped out for a different carb and pipes. The bike took all kinds of stupidity on my part but still brought me home. :D Granger [/QUOTE]
