It's finally time. I've been attached to this Slash 5 for 38 years. Although I will hate to part with it, I hope it will go to a good home and continue on it's journey. The two of us have braved all kinds of weather, roads from hell and roads that you wished would never end. I've reached the stage of my life that says it is time for some comfort. A fairing, reasonable brakes, and perhaps I can convince SWMBO to ride again. She declined this privelege after an evil miscreant, an eldely woman, decided to make a left turn and ignore the oncoming motorcycle! I survived, as did the Slash 5, after TLC by John Kasparek, from the Beemer Barn in Middleport NY, who put my bike back together again! I will never regret the purchase of this bike although my riding buddies, back in '71, thought I was insane. Some of them still ride, and one even converted to a Beemer.
The bike, which has never been named, is listed in the flea market. I continue my hunt for an R1100RT.
