    G rated wardrobe malfunction

    I got out early today on the bike to do a couple of errands. By the time I got to Lowes it was time to get rid of some coffee. After taking care of business, I buttoned my pants, but not without a bit of trouble. I walked away, but something wasn't right. I looked down and found my riding pants button buttoned in my jeans buttonhole....

      Bike Blessing I went to with some fellow members. I ended up putting over 400 miles on the Harley yesterday!

      Early Start, 6:30AM... Brisk

      Had breakfast with Pillage and Crag-Antler and then headed up to Bartlett for the bike blessing

      Crag-Antler led most of the rides. Thanks for showing us how to circumnavigate Conway traffic!!!!


      Pillage's awesome CB750 and sidecar setup!

      Afterward I hung out and had a "whiskey" and ginger ale with Pillage and caught up... Very nice to see him!

      Awesome day to RIDE and see some of the NE GSR family!!!

        I was able to take the 850 out for a spin today. I did the western Pennsylvania loop. It was warm with scattered thunderstorms. I didn't get hit with any rain, but I rode on some wet roads. I did a little off road riding but nothing to crazy... I love my 850☺

          Its great to see all the bikes in this thread and fun being had riding.

          I went to knock on the neighbors door today. Lol



          The headwind all the way to the border killed my gas mileage. After getring lost in the boonies for a while near Gallup, NM I headed down to El Malpais national monument.





          I seem to be very fond of getting away from paved roads and really need to look into getting a dual sport bike again.

            And another nice picture I thought I'd add... It had just rained in the area.

              Took the 1260 out for its first trip today. The rain slowed down enough to go to the gas station. Nothing fell off, and the cop I went past at 6k in second gear didn't look up.

                That's the exhaust from the blue '83, although it appears somewhat shorter now... how did the cop not hear that pipe?!?

                  That's the pipe. And it's still just as loud. It's not shorter, the swingarm is longer. I was sure I was going to get a lecture at the minimum, but nope
                  There are Busa parts on there, let's see if you can find them. The Blue '83 has OEM black exhaust now.

                    I drove on that road a few years ago and I didn't see that rock. Nice picture!

                      The rearsets are obviously Hayabusa, front calipers are the same Tokicos that the Gen1 bikes had too, along with the mastercylinder... can I guess that the pistons in the engine are also Heavy Bus parts?

                      Bike looks the business, I really like it.

                        Im going to have to agree with Dave. Im typically not a big fan of the lunchbox bikes, but this one looks great.

                          Rearsets.. Everything else is Bandit. Pistons are Wiseco according to PO. One of the common problems upgrading the swingarm is rear brake linkage clearance. Best fix for me was just to move everything outside the frame rails. Few holes in a plate made the adapters, shift linkage hooked right up with minor rod length adjustment. But this is not a build thread. I will report back on the riding experience. Should be OK for riding the 3 miles to the drag strip.

                            Definitely the rearsets. Mine are off a Busa too.

                                Bike looks nice, but the pipe looks like it'll drag in right handers, right below that screw in line with the Yosh logo.
