I had the GS1000e Back in High School, new in 1978.. used to run it at the I-44 Speedway out of St.Louis MO. had a J&R tuned Header System yadda yadda... thanks for posting this and bringing back a few memories... I also made it from St. Louis, MO to Indian Head, Maryland in a day! that's 1000 miles :}

I did the math when I got there... averaged 86 mph including gas/pit stops. Not one ticket :} Do you remember the coast to coast run they used to have?

Well, I have an uncle that used to run some of those "Iron Butt" rallies back in the 70 & 80's.....not me though....I never rode my bike more than 150 miles at a time.
