The 1990 RS1200 that I bought from Onahog (Hank) arrived last night at 10:30. After unloading it and unwrapping it, I just stood there and stared at it. I finally get it. What a beautiful machine. Long, low, and narrow. Pictures don't do it justice. You sit in it, not on it. The motor rumbled to life after a quick jab of the starter button and settled into a nice steady loping idle. Not being particularly adept with a wrench, I hope I can do this machine justice. I know that Hank paved the way for me by fully reconditioning the bike and with the help of my nephew (Carbide) and Badweb I hope to keep this classic alive for many years to come.

My thanks to those who encouraged this purchase and a special thanks to Court and Dave Gess for writing the book that inspired this venture into the unknown.

Outstanding, and enjoy the bike. I know Hank put the time into it as a labor of love.
