This is my 1985 GN. I bought it because after many years of commuting on a range of different motorbikes, this year I felt the winter and decided it was time to buy a cheap commute for the coldest and wettest of days. This is when my relationship with my $500 Siggie started, I wouldn’t call it love but I really like the old girl and now the bike rarely leaves the garage.
I’ve done a few things to her since we met, new lowered king springs all round, Monroe shocks at the front and pedders at the rear has her handling a bit better. Some nice shiny Pee-Pots with Perriles help a little there too. Also fitted a disc brake diff out of a gn Super Saloon.
The old girl has also proven to be cheap and reliable, driven every day on LPG, and even done a stint as the family car (with 3 kids) while we where in between our family transport (Tarago).
I say its not love, but our relationship is blossoming, I'm becoming obsessed and the wife’s suspicious about the time I spend in the shed so maybe I’m just in denial.
