The sad, sad end... Facebook Story - More Than Just a Motorcycle

My sad end only days later. Months of recovery ahead.... https://www.vetterowners.com/threads/all-things-must-end.1669/

More than just a Motorcycle. Please read the whole thing. I lost an immensely important piece of me. I hope I can explain. As a machine, my 1982 Suzuki GS550LZ was rebuilt with a lot of love and with the support of some really close friends and my wife (she wouldn’t ride it, but completely...
