Interesting road. Sure looked like narrow lane on the vid.
Interesting part of your vid is that can see the bars and hand controls, that added a different perspective that most do not have.
Although would also be good to see further down the road.
Do post more.

What's missing from the bike?

FINALLY got in a quick ride tonight to pick up some paperwork.
I'm still a bit peeved that I've yet to do needed winter repairs on the ES- tires, weld a fairing mount back on, and rebuild the forks..... I threw the charged enough battery in, primed it, choked it, and hit the button, and the cycle started wonderfully after sitting since December.
Short 25 mile jaunt, but it felt great.
Realized on the way home that my registration is a pulpy mess after going thru the wash and in my toolbox.... oops.Last edited by dorkburger; 03-31-2016, 09:55 PM.sigpic

Nice custom job on the bike! I missed your build thread if you posted one.
I see you shortened the seat, have you been accused of hacking out a bobber because of that mod?
I was considering just that mod last winter, but got negative feedback from the crew and gave it up.1982 GS1100G-

It was nice... in my excitement, I rushed out, then when I stopped at the first traffic light in town and went to check my mirrors... DOH!
I take the bar end mirrors off during its winter slumber because they always get in the way.
They were in the garage cabinet literally less then a foot away from my helmet. Never even noticed.sigpic

Got out for the usual Katana Australia Saturday morning ride yesterday and had an extra large turnout. Had one fella on his debut of his freshly returned to the road 1100 as well as the usuals plus an old Beemer R60/6. That guy can ride! He had the old girl punting along very well indeed!
Apologies for the glare in the first pic but at the start...


The 650G turned home from there as he's on vintage rego which means his rides are limited, but the rest continued up to our usual cafe spot where another two Kats were waiting.


Top morning out
I can't wait to add mine to the clowder!Comment

Rode to Helvatia Winery with some Lions Club members to set up the winery's big top.
