..but I still love me '87 RS.

This good looking bloke is me enjoying the beautiful Manx weather a couple of weeks ago.

That's a clean looking machine !

You have a little resemblance to the actor Patrick Stewart, I think.

Lookin' good, Bonzo!  Welcome back.

Love the fairing and side cases.
My cases are boxy and pretty sad from previous owners abuse.  Yours are sleek and seem to be in great shape.  Are the tank knee-pads stock on the Euro model?

Welcome back, Bonzo.  Great RS, I wish my back could stand one!  :(  Ed, what are your bags like, Bonzo's are the late model System Cases identical (except I painted my lids) to those on my RT, and I assumed all monoshockers had 'em...

I am impressed, I only thought that sort of thing happened in Saudi Arabia or something..
 ;)

She's the one that made me update my Will and buy protective gear so I could have my two wheeled toy.

You just need to get her her own bike!   ;)  I didn't know that the old touring cases would fit the newer bikes. learn something new every day.  Maybe show us a good pic of the mounting system/bracketry...
