Greetings from a new member!
« on: November 04, 2014, 10:11:36 PM »
I just joined the group and want to introduce  myself. I have been  riding for 47 years, and still ride the same Ducati 250 Mach One I have owned for 39 years. I first rode a friend's Bridgestone 350 GTO back in 1974, and have wanted one ever since. It fit me perfectly,  had rock solid handling, and would outrun anything else on the road at the time.

I been looking for a 350  for while and just found a GTO in Colorado that has lived the last 20 years of its life  in a motor home that some guy used to store his bikes in. It has 8,000 miles on it, pipes from a Kawasaki I suspect, and has good compression. It is cleaning up nicely, and I have begun the revival process to get it running.

Regards,

Tom Meadows

My guess is that the Bike and Tom are in the avatar pic, but hard to make out.
