Last time I used my 1982 R80st was @ a Classic bike rally in the Picos mountains in May last year.
This is an anual event run by the MC Piston club.
Lazily when I got home the bike was put under a 10 pound chinese cover & almost forgotten about.
So today after it's languish outside for 9 months the cover was removed, & the bike was wheeled to a better vantage point in the garden.
No sticking brakes, stand returned on it's springs & the headrace bearings were nice & free.
Petrol taps on (old fuel) ignition on (wow........lights) full choke, no throttle half a dozen enthusiatic turns of the starter motor & she's alive.
What a great machine this old ST still is.
Underated in their day as the street version of the G/S but what fantastic road holding & mountaineering ability.
Next trip for her is the Westward Ho Night Trial in 3 weeks time. I use it for this because she qualifies @ over 25 years old & has fantastic lights.

Took the XJR out of its winter hibination, started first press on the button, went for a 50 mile cruise around the country side, accidently filled up with 97 octain, it went like a rocket and felt a lot smoother than i remember..must be the expensive petrol or just the sun shine.

Well, The GS1200 has had a new rear shock fitted, Hagon, So took it out for a short test ride on Saturday. Much better now. Yesterday took a few bits off for re-powder coating. Today dropped them off at powder coaters, LSN in Castleford, highly recommended.
Made a light bracket for XCountry, going to try some led,day running lights, DRL's. will post some pick's when it's done.

Cheers Dave.
