Hey all, new to the board, with an '82 LS. Half commuter, half tourer, half project bike. Looking forward to exchanging tips, tricks, and general randomness.

Welcome to the insane asylum, you have to be crazy to lust after a 20 some year old motorcycle!

I'll say... They're still beauts though, and built like tanks if set up properly.  Welcome.   :)

Nice classical looking LS, how many miles on it?

So far as I know, about 45K. According to the PO the odometer has been frozen since the mid 90's. Just using the tripmeter to keep track for now.

Thanks, it's good to feel welcome. The paint color is Ferrari Corsa Rossa, but I've found that Toyota Super Red II is a perfect match, at least for rock dings.
