    This video is 11 months old, but I like it. Why Suzuki left motorsport? Good question mostly answered, but I think quitting all their motorsport support was the result of very poor judgement by executive management.

    Yeah huge old style 2 stroke high side off. No broken legs, good news. Rear tire not heated up enough probably.

    Yeah, not much happened at the front, not much happened anywhere. I think this short video is the most interesting for me.

    From opinions I've heard, it's the aerodynamic development skills and costs that are killing the Japanese manufacturers. The European manufacturers are smaller and sell way fewer bikes, so it seems like the Japanese just don't want to spend the money in MotoGP. Superbike racing involvement is...

    Interesting ok race, nasty hi-side, or maybe a swing-side because the rider was whipped around and off, not over and above the bike. It was next rider along who got the raw deal, smashed right into the crashed bike as it rolled and bounced at track speed. Saw a similar whip around in a 1950s...

    I have it on my 82-1100G and love it. Not loud at all, lightweight.

    Upper fork tree misaligned, adjustable, fixable?

    Why I'm asking, because I never had this problem. Never taken this assembly apart before. Old eyes, looked like splines in diagram. I don't see any splines in ebay samples.

    Upper fork tree misaligned, adjustable, fixable?

    Next step will be to remove it. I'm thinking the splines are stripped.

    Upper fork tree misaligned, adjustable, fixable?

    Bummer, my 1100G fell over and partly off trailer on a left turn. Front end was tied down and when the bike fell over the opposing forces wrenched the forks and tree. Looks like the fork tubes are straight, it's the steering heads that took the stress, the upper and lower stems are misaligned...

    2018 I was at Autobahn Country Club, IL, in 2020 at Grattan Raceway, MI. It was at Grattan where I soaked my helmet. At least at Grattan I was topping off at 140mph on their 3,000' straight. Not bad for a 30 yo oil cooler.

    I did a couple 4th 'o July track days. Just way too hot. Middle of the day, almost nobody was on the track. I poured water into my helmet, soaked the liner and put it on. Water was beading up on the inside of my screen with rivulets runny down. Hilarious. No interest in doing a July track day again.

    Enjoy the ride! Agree, Assen not a memorable race. Marquez drama was more interesting.

    what did you wrench on today??

    Excellent video, amazing build. Did not like his method of putting a saw blade on a grinder, no thank you.

    what did you wrench on today??

    I bought a MagTorch kit and some US Forge self fluxing 1/8" aluminum rods. Did the job but no regulators, so flame changed as tank pressure dropped. I like brazing and think it's worth getting a light duty gas welding kit with regulators. Lot of things could be gas brazed easier, than electric...
