    Awesome weekend with a awesome lady

    My GSR friend Cheryl from Maryland came to visit me this weekend. She arrived in Youngstown in rainy weather so going for a motorcycle ride was out of the question. We made the best of it . We drove threw Mill Creek Park the fall foliage was nice. We then decided to go to downtown Y-Town to get a beer. After a couple of beers and a nice dinner we then had evening of fun at the comedy club. Sunday the weather was sunny but chilly (41degrees) so after a good breakfast we decided to go for a "blast"on the GS. I pulled the bike out, it fired right up. (It loves the cool weather) We only went for about a 10 mile ride, but it was a very spirited 10 miles. The bike was running great and wanted to go! After we got back to my house, I was pushing the GS back into it's garage, I said "that was fun wasn't it" Cheryl said yeah, I said,"oh,I was talking to the bike"
    My Motorcycles:
    22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
    22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
    82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
    81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
    79 1000e (all original)
    82 850g (all original)
    80 KZ 650F (needs restored)

    I'm sure Cheryl will share

      Norm's GS1100. This makes my bike look like trash, lol. His bike is so clean and shiny!



      Awesome view at the park.

      Had a great time with Norm again.

          We made the best of it .
          and I'll bet you did

          Before becoming a settled down old fart, several of my relationships were "long distance" where we only saw each other on weekends and holidays. Nothing like a bit of separation to keep the fires burning. I always made the best of it at every opportunity

          Ah, to be young again!

          Thanks for bringing back the memories.

            Seems like this story could use a photo of you two.

              Thank you Petexotic for your compliment on my motorcycle. Yes, the brake stay is a custom part I made. I also made the chain tensioners, engine mounts, exhaust flanges and a few other parts. The engine is a nice combination of 1166cc 10.5:1 pistons, street/strip cam shafts, 33mm Mikuni carburetors, with a Star racing exhaust header. The machine is a lot of fun to ride. With the cool temperature Sunday the bike ran great, pulled real hard. Cheryl can attest to that. We had a blast... Oh and her comment of her bike looking like "trash," compared to mine, it don't look that bad. I'll have it looking good for next spring.
