GS500E

My first bike after passing my test in Jan '91 was a Suzuki GS500E. I ended up putting a set of Krauser(sp?) panniers on which became pretty famous due to being a little wonky:

Unfortunately, some scumbag kids nicked the GS while I was in Manchester on a training course in '97. It was recovered but was written off. Although the insurance paid up fairly quickly, it was about a year before I was able to get another bike.
