First and foremost, welcome to the Forum. Conversation and technical information both come easy here. Ask away.

I envy you -- I have the 20th anniversary version and would very much like to see the original. So, let's see some pictures.

Plus, tell us more, history of the bike, miles, kick or electric start, re-paint, goodies added. What restoration work have you had to do? Where did you get the parts? How did you come by the bike? What is its name? What are the last 6 digits in the VIN?
