The shipper did a great job, delivered it to my front door, and actually rolled it into place for me. I can't actually ride it yet,  or even hold it up, and probably won't be able to for months, by which time the snow will fly here.

Damn I know, but I have enjoyed it for several years. Yes it is a great bike, best I have ever owned actually, but I am thinking that sport-touring is less a factor in my future riding, and that I need a dual sport much more, especially with my property in the hills where I cannot even take the GPZ.

I am getting pictures of the GPZ together, but will advertise it in the local paper first. I am asking $2500 OBO, I think it is fair for a great bike with less than 20,000 miles, but I have no idea what to expect with the scraped up plastic... probably less. Anyhow if anyone is interested let me know.
