James,
I rode motorcycles for over 15 years and traveled a lot of roads, some incredibly scenic and some in New York City. And I lived! Having said that, I'm a bit long in the tooth to be riding the type of bike I prefer and I don't really like traveling without Linda who simply would not ride with me. So, the bike has been sitting in the garage collecting dust while we moved on to dogs as an entertainment medium.

Here in Florida, there is a pretty decent market for restored vintage motorcycles, especially some of the Japanese products from the early 1980's when they led the market. This bike wouldn't take a lot of work for a real mechanic that didn't mind tearing down the engine, transmission and carbs and replacing all the brake lines. It has low mileage and is pretty much all original at this point. I know two shops that buy, restore and sell Suzukis and I've already talked to them about buying it. Now all I need to do is get a copy of the title from the State of Connecticut -- the original came down with us but which box it's in at this point is anybody's guess. We're planning to move on or about Feb. 1 so now is a good time to unload those items that we don't really need to keep in the new home. Suzi will be much happier if she can get back on the road. And Linda will be much happier if I'm not on her when she does .
