I sold my Suzuki GT380 last year. I bought it used at the end of the 70's. Started stock, raced a couple of years, and back to stock. I rode this bike, along with my GS1100, regularly. This past summer another friend asked me to sell him the GT380, and I decided to give it to a good home. I figured now that I am in my 60's I could give it up.
Still running like new after all these years.
Turns out I was wrong about having a bike. A friend of mine told me he was talking to someone he met at work about my bike a couple months back. The other guy mentioned he had an old Kawasaki 2 stroke. My friend mentioned it to me. Friend told me the guy had parked it in 1977, taken it apart to get a paint job, and then it sat.
This week my friend told me he ran into this guy again, who is around 70, and he wanted the bike to see the light of day again. He asked my friend if he thought I would be able to bring it back to life. My friend told him I would be able to. This gentleman then told my friend to take the bike, no charge.
I now have a 1972 Kawasaki H2 750, the "Widow Maker". It will need a bit of work, but should be running this summer.
