I just love reading about the upkeep and riding of the 95 GPZ 1100.

My friends remember me and “Rock and Roll Red,” showing up at each and every rally.

At 42 thousand miles my bike never let me down.

Miles per Friends have never been better while riding the GPZ.

Long Live the GPZ!

Steven,

I'm just going to install a new ZRX1200 petcock.  My existing one works
fine, but is getting older.  The original ones had a defective o-ring that
was corrected in the ZRX petcocks.
