      Good topic, Rich. Thanks. Is fun.
      Yep, Rich, I recognize the need for something to reach into bottom of fork tubes. ALthough I have threaded rod with doubleNuts.

      Ha, Yah, Ron, inventing a place to mount R/R.
      Yep, Bob, arranging carb parts while cleaning.
      Yah, Trevor, when see that we know that didnt suck that stuff in while going down the road, but dont really know how it DID get in there. Suspect little critters.
      Ha! Yah, Scott, although cant really see whats going on there, can pretty much figure that (George) checking battery voltage.
      Roger Burque, somehow I didnt realize that was vice grips there.
      Oh, yah, Danny LA, those hard intake nozzles, and yah, crusty air filter. Ha Ha and humorous message from the air cleaner. Ha! THe air box seals and the snorkel could be calling for help too. Fun photo.

      And, specifically to long-standing folks here on TheGSR, the most noticeable specific thing is the SaltyMonk (Dan) brake adapter plate. And... we recognize the bike indoors on nice wood floors, and if need anything to verify that it is SteveM'dc , there is the photo of CBX. So, I'll Vote for Steve Murdock.

            Trevor and his bird nest/air filter for me this week.
            sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
            2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                This was on my vfr1200f....I had the bike shipped to me from Thunder Bay Ont in Sept 2024....I rode it around all fall then in the winter I decided to take on the Valves for inspection (what a pita that was...but another story lol) and too my surprise this "nest" is what I found...the PO said that the bike was stored in his barn in the winter. What I can't believe is that the bike ran great. Lol...

                          Great turnout this week.
                          Let’s tally the votes.
                          Redman- 3
                          Grimly - 2
                          1978GS750E - 2
                          Burque73 - 1
                          Eli69 - 1
                          trevor - 2 (counting Rob’s “ditto”)
                          steve murdoch - 1
                          Carter Turk - 1

                          If my count is accurate, Redman is the winner by a nose. If someone could verify the count, that would be great.

                            Your count looks good to me, Rich.

                              Oh !

                              (I have gotten out of the habit of checking the results.)

                              So apparently a crispy burnt blackened stator is the winning "IYKYK", or maybe its that Mr. Steve Steve was included. har har har.

                              And the 13 votes were dispersed over several good pics, so a 3 count wins.

                              Thanks. Am completly unprepaired.
                              Let me find a pic and think of a topic/subject here in an hour or so.
