Shortly after a lowside in the early 2000s. Fairing remnants were removed, a crude mirror added and rides continued. This is one of my favorite pictures of the GS. Funny how time carries on. The bike is now in the approximate location of my sister's front porch.

Sorry Glen, but I see a mini GS. Something about the perspective, maybe the blurred background?

This could be yours too.

Shucks Glen, I always liked the "E" better than the "ES" anyway. Looks good to me.

I thought a gas cap was liquid tight after sealing the internals with some rubbery gasket maker. I removed the lock and gooped up any venting holes and reassembled the cap. This held while I turned the tank upside down. An hour later, no drips, all is well. To protect the nearly perfect paint job, I laid an old bed sheet over a plastic tub and set the tank upside down on it, then left for a few hours. Where kerosene and paint stripper failed, the acetone proved very effective. It worked wonders dissolving the tank liner, eating through the sealant in the cap vent hole, and wicking it's way into the old bed sheet. It had enough time to cause this.........

So what did you do??? Were you able to get the goo off before it damaged the paint?

I turned the garage light out, rubbed my eyes and turned it back on, thinking, hoping, I was having a flashback. Nope! This was real! The paint is toast. I'll have to strip it down to bare metal and repaint it.

That pic was long enough ago for me to only know that it was shot on film. No idea on what lens was used, but zooms tend to "compress" space and I had one at the time for the old Pentax camera I was using. Cool scooter ornament. My first ride of the year happened last night on mine.

I'm as guilty as the next guy. But this thread is a mess for the guy who takes it upon himself to post the summary on Fridays. Any threads of chatter amongst and between the actual pic submissions has to be meticulously extracted in order to present a clean summation. I'm suggesting we try to do better in the new year and try not to fill this thread with anything but pic submissions, summations, and tallies. I know everyone has a lot to talk about and its fun to participate in side discussions of the pics that come up. But trust my when I say that doing the summation post on Friday is difficult enough without all the irrelevant (sorry, that's not really what I mean, but its the only word I could think of) chatter. Now I've added to it. And I suppose I'm inviting even more.

When on a trip, and all you own is in saddlebags, and this happens and no bike shop around....I know it's been used before.
