      Took the highway part way there
      then got off highway and went to an interesting road on the map...
      Rode that for a while.
      Was good




      Rode untill I knew I was about far enough north, hit the gps to give direction to the destination.
      Had some more good ride...
      .... and ended up on gravel rode... again... was okay


      .... and made it to the destination

        Took my GSX out for a fall colour ride today... it's still pretty green here in the rainforest. Like it always is.

            Looks OEM, I've never seen a GS with a fairing like that.
            In my welcome thread someone found a similar version in Italy, but there are some slight differences. I think mine is repainted.
            Use this forum to tell everyone the details about the GS that you own and a little about yourself as well.

                Jedz, that first pic could be used for the bike's sales brochure. They may have to airbrush out the mods though.

                Beautiful country up there!

                    Looks like you were having some fast fun, Jedz.
                    I agree with Burque. You should be doing copy for Suzuki advertising dept.

                        The thought has crossed my mind but a solid limp is +$1700!!!. I could go down and Turbocharge like my Indonesian brother's for less then half the cost... lol Which I'm seriously considering.

                                I am NO WAY fed up with this little bike, I LOVE IT!!!

                                I have a bigger bike, a few actually... It's not the speed I'm chasing. It's fun to see what this little machine is capable of! It's a weird sensation, I don't want to make it fast, it will never be that way... But No one has ever made it faster, so I guess that's my reasoning. It's a hoot to ride as is but I'm curious on what it's capable of and because no one has done it.... I need to answer that question.

                                Like I said it goes beyond logic here. I'm having a hoot modifying this little bike and then riding the snot out of it!!!
