    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Back in High school at lunch time, they had a stereo system in the cafeteria. My friends a & I used to annoy all the conservative type students (privileged white folk), playing "The Celebration of the Lizard" off Absolutely Live & other Doors songs like the End, When the Music's Over, etc.

    Nice shots! Looks like a great time & overcoming difficulties that present themselves. Surfed there back in the late 90's. Did you stop to look at the big tree outside of Renfrew? I have to ask if the Africa Twin on the ground was purchased at Costco? One was on display at my local store...

    Spoiler Alert: MotoGP (or any other race) thread for immediate disscussion of races.

    Bummer for Vinales in Qatar getting 2nd then demoted to 14th for tire pressure violation per (RRW) How can a rider actually deal with that while trying to fight for the podium? Seems like a nit-picky rule.

    GS engine noise.

    Could be a loose starter clutch (SC) attached to the rotor. I've had my fair share of issues there. Not sure if a 500 has a copper plate inside the SC, but might cause a viby sound if loose. I'd get a proper rotor puller & gasket beforehand & rule out the other suggestions first. You can lean...

    Any concerns being new to the track with a gs550es?

    Are you going to Vancouver Island Motorsports Circuit or Mission Raceway, or? I'd say you'll be fine on the ES. You're also familiar with it, so that helps. "Relaxed Group" has a variety of riders with varying skill level & type of bike, so pay attention to riders in front of you with erratic...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Got a 3.5hr ride in on Saturday. I happened to ride up a super steep dirt road with tight switchbacks, going so slow, I was almost stalling in first gear. My son is hosting a mountain bike jump event here called Whoolley Fest in August. I'm about 3/4 up the course. 2nd shot is a place called...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Got some riding in the last 3 days, mid 50's or so. The ratty crashed Kat ran well, except for the throttle cable being a bit buggered. Don't know if a 1990 GSXR 1100 cable is shorter than a stock Kat, but I recall having this one shortened about 15 + years ago, as I have those carbs on. The...

    Maybe what it looks like on Ayahuasca, pretty trippy, Redman. Remember these old ads? Not sure if there ever was a Suzuki bike used. 20250317_175402 by Carter Turk, on Flickr

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    The 1980 GS1100ET fork had better adjustments (preload ramps & dampening adj. on the bottom), than the 83 anti-dives. Stock, those forks were terrible! I even thought the ET forks were better than the stock 1994 RF 900 I owned briefly. Guess that one had Suzuki bargain bin suspension on it...

    Nice clean Kat! Looks like an 1150 motor, different carbs, forks & wheels. Is that really a Yosh pipe? I woke up in an ambulance, 11 ribs, punctured lung, shattered collarbone (they had to put synthetic croutons in for filler), plated w/6 screws. This was during COVID, so the road maintenance...

    Wish my Kat looked as nice as those, still battered from deer incident back in 2021. Which one is yours?

    Whose driven on the left side of road? Any timely tips?

    Well...survived driving on the left for 2 weeks in a Toyota Highlander on the South Is. & a Ford Everest Diesel on the North Is. Hit the windshield wiper under 10 times, instead of turn signal. Had 1 Toyota Camry try to merge into me after two lane round-about. The Everest had only 900 kms on...

    Whose driven on the left side of road? Any timely tips?

    Made it to Queenstown after 15 hours of flying. Got the rental car, probably drove about 25 miles so far, & hit the windshield wipers 3 times instead of the turn signal. Otherwise, driving on the left is fine. Seen some Indian Baggers, BMW GS's, V-Stroms, 1 92 CBR 900RR & others. Had to pay a...

    Whose driven on the left side of road? Any timely tips?

    Going to New Zealand next month to watch my son in "Natural Selection" mountain bike event. He's one of 6 selected as a wild card, so the fam is showing up for support. I've driven once in Australia in a rented Hyundai Sonata 14 years ago, when my daughter was granted a "Make a Wish" trip there...

    After winning 13 WSBK's in row this has to happen to Toprak

    Sorry the video didn't work, not sure why. Apparently, he had a punctured lung in the incident.
