[QUOTE="Scab, post: 477317, member: 1708"] In the U.S., we only had those bikes for 3 years. 81' & 82' were the 500 cc versions and the 83' was the 650. I picked mine up used, for little of nothing, in pretty rough shape. Somebody had spray-canned the thing black. I tore it apart, had the carbs built & jetted, I painted her, and put straight pipes on her. She was sweet. She'd outrun the word of God through the choir section! But, that ole' beast would put the worst case of monkey-butt on your ass! As for the building...I have no idea what that really is. It was sitting at the edge of a convenience store parking lot where we stopped for a break. It was one year when we were running the Trail-of-Tears ride. That is somewhere in between Chatanooga, TN, and Huntsville, AL. I still miss that old bike. [/QUOTE]
