Same rider (Bob) and his GSX1000SZ he bought new in 1982 and 44 years later, his current 1982 GSX1000SZ (before the Harris 4-into-1 was fitted)

That's a different Bob with a 1000 than the Bobster who we already know!
Has he checked if the reg of his original one on DVLA to see if it is still out there?

Nice pics, I like the now and then ones.
