    Perfect day for a ride out to the ocean to try out the new rear Shinko 705 on the GS850G



    ...and the beach to myself!

      Looks like it's morphed into mini scrambler....you should pick up a KLR650 for cheap and really have some off road fun with a thumper.

          Nice bike! But who is the ugly dude? No, not the one with the Sax......

          Are those 36 year old brake hoses?

              Yeah.... My bike fund envelope is empty. I had to send the contents to the IRS. I may have to get a job ringing the Salvation Army bell this year.

                Hey Trevor,

                You look like you've lost some weight. The jacket looks nice and snug too--just what's needed for wind-resistance plus, the "Cooley" looks good on you!

                my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

                  Thanks Ed,

                  I lost some weight before I had a Gallbladder operation in January...tried to keep most of it off...lol...I bought that jacket in the spring...really like it...has removable full liner in it too.
                  Cheers

                        Didn't get around to taking the test the other day, but at least rode it some. Also took it out to pick up some take-out today (backpack was a little on the small side...lol). Up to 78 miles now.

                          Btw, very nice bikes, Lurch and Trevor. Might look at the 705 for a new rear tire on mine...

                                It was 54? this evening, so I took a quick 30 mile jaunt to calm the soul....
                                A nearby town has this old patrol car out on display proclaiming 50 years of service- I'm pretty certain that the pictured car is a 64 though.... oh well the average person wouldn't know anyway. ..

                                Trevor, the S looks great. You guys did a superb job. I would assume the guy you purchased it from is pleased..
