Hey Ttime4four your post bought back an irrelevant memory. I used to have one of those GS550s, it had carbs and a pipe and went like I shower of shit. I had to tune it every weekend. Not realising I once overtook some plainclothes cops, laid down on the tank and wound it open, when I sat up I saw the flashing lights in the mirror. I told them I'd just tuned it and wanted to see what it went like so they only booked me for 99mph so I wouldn't get done for dangerous driving and lose my licence. I used to ride to my girlfriends house in ugg boots because it was cold and would cut then engine half a mile from home at 3:00am so I could coast in and not wake my parents up. Those were the days.
