New bloke from The Black Country
Hi all. New on here as of last night. Just saying hello with brief description. I'm a fat old git that's just got my first Kettle. Had a 380 for a few years but always wanted its bigger bro. Don't yell at me but it's an American import 750L that I'm in the process of registering. It starts easily and seems to run well and the 20,000 miles on the clock look genuine judging by general patina and history. On purchase it is missing the radiator bumper bar, small oil pump cover and the grab rail (if it had one as I believe some American bikes didn't have them). I'm looking forward to learning about it mooching with it and with help from you guys possibly. Other bikes I own apart from the 2 GT's are a K3 Gixer1000, a 2002 1200 bandit, a1981 TS250ER and a 97 Dr200 Djebel. Bit of a Suzuki fetish.

I'm guessing you're Baz of the Blue Smoke variety judging by your name and location.
