Nice to be back on a Suzuki 750... Oh yeah...
After about an hour of riding... (50ish miles) I'm beginning to think I stole this thing... Man, runs like a top, crazy comfy and it's frickin' gorgeous to look at.Comment

Went out for lunch in Wales with my lad on his GPz500S.
100 miles for a great steak and ale pie and 98 miles home again.
Picked up a few passengers on the way.
No video footage today because I forgot to fit the new SD card. GRRRR!
Still, a great day out.Comment

4th of July Ride. - - 1979 helmet.
On summertime holidays I will allow myself to use my original helmet from 1979, only for local short rides.
Yes, that was a DOT helmet in 1979.
Has about 5/16th of inch of real hard stiff stryofoam type stuff with no padding, just a fabric cover.
CAn see that the stuff is so thin that the shell has to go further out for the ears. (reminds me of my dads highschool foot ball leather helmet, circa 1948).
THe helmet was originally blue, to match the kz400 I had.
THen late 80s I painted it to match the 650G .... and, now that I think of it, maybe more inline with the garb of the folks I was associating with at the time.
And, thinking of that period, ... I since have managed to wash out the stale beer smell from it.
On unfaired bike, and that helmet, really need the ear plugs. Man!
Had about an half hour ride. Had a round of disc golf. And about half hour ride back home.
Sometimes I think I should cut-up that helmet and throw it out.
But I like having it, for reasons I cant really explain.
Maybe I should smile for such selfie pics. But do have the wind in my face on this bike with that helmet.
The wind had Had tears running out of eyes.
A couple times I could not breath, like my nostrils closed up or something.

Is somewhat reminiscent of by gone era, probably why I like it.
But, ah, not really that old. har har har
I used to have those shields (the kind with a bill).
What do you think? ... there are probably folks that have never had a helmet that has those snapps.
