Bit grumpy to start with but once the throat cleared rode very well.
Enough about you, Kev, but did the bike go OK?
Very nice bikes the GS750, rode one back in 1977 and very impressive.
But you said you only like 2 strokes.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

I do. I said it was impressive, NOT that I was impressed. It was the best 750+ I'd ridden to then though, including gt750js, gt750a (much better than the Js), cb750 k1, Triton, Vincent Shadow (Jeeez!!), Interstate, and a 700odd cc interceptor........
I regret not having ridden that kind of range of bikes at the time but you can't turn back the clock (unless you are Arthur Daley). I hate to admit I prefer the GS to the Kettle but my 550 and 380 are lovely to ride, light and quick. I wish I had more than one a*se ! (I'm going to regret that comment )

Width or extra buttocks?
Bushy three cheeks has a certain 'ring' to it I suppose.....
Oh, by the way, those side panel badges you did are lush. Thankyou.
