I hope to make my 900f look that good some day.

Got out for a little breakfast run today.
Sadly, much of what I love about this town is going away as more and more development destroys the farmland.
Hey Pilot,
I'm sure Chandler is all development now...Gilbert is next.
Nice ride btw. I like the white gixxer rims. (At least they look like the ones I had on my first bike) Your bike looks mean and fast! What a cool combo!!! Thanks for sharing.

Took a spin over the Wicklow gap to Anne's coffee shop in Laragh.
Four hours in the saddle for a return of 138 miles.
Ireland has some really good twisty roads.
Unfortunately the scenery is too distracting at least that's my excuse.
Sat outside on Anne's deck and was looking at this 'new' bike beside me for nearly a full minute before I twigged. Hey it's an RD350LC. It was that good.

Ireland is easily the most beautiful country I have driven through, followed by Scotland and France.
Yeah, Ed. Gilbert was so beautiful when I moved up here in 2000. Less than two decades later and it is becoming a lot like Chandler. I may have to move out to Queen Creek.
And yes, they are '88 GSXR wheels (and forks, rotors, etc.). The bike handles incredibly well with these mods.
Visiting with Lurch and his awesome wife Mrs. Lurch for a couple of days. They truly know how to host a vacation; riding bikes, swimming in the pool, shooting guns, throwing shoes, relaxing to good food, good brews and swapping good times with great folks. Tomorrow I venture out to continue my loop back to VT. Great times!
The Mrs spent a few days at Glendalough in May - she was well impressed. The trip was an ancestry thingy with her sister to Ballycastle, Belfast & Dublin...... I was too busy working.
Your 1150 looks stunning!!!
A short ride today but of the 4-legged kind as I'm in Colorado to finally pick up and transport Lou (the horse in my avatar) back to Ohio. It has been 5 long years since I saw her and 6 since my last ride. Although I'm waiting on an unexpected trailer brake repair, I hope to be on the road home by Friday morning
I needed to replace a nail gun but none of the Home Depot stores near here had one. Closest one available was 60 miles away in Santa Fe so after work I headed North. Nice night for a ride and all of the thunderstorms off in the distance made for quite a light show. The rack I put on last weekend really worked out nicely.
Santa Fe has to have every building look like part of a pueblo. I like the style as Albuquerque's Home Depot's are all drab and square.

Any excuse for a ride is a good one.
Jedz, coming from you, that means a lot. Thank you!
Godspeed to you both
I knew it! Gixxer rims, bro!
I would love a 1985 Gixxer...or thereabouts, in my garage. Pre-crotch rocket bikes are golden!
Enjoy your ride times my brother.

I'd still love to add the full GSX-R as a bike in my garage. It would have to be an '87 1100 to really satisfy my lust for that model.
Since I have two different makes in the garage, my mind has begun turning to getting one of each of the other two major brands. Maybe a TW200 and a Z1300 ...

Be wary of the stock seat on a 87 GSXR, especially in warmer climes, never been in so much agony riding from SF to LA.
I thought all the moto-mag guys reviewing them were winy sissy's, complaining about comfort, what wussy's they must be.
Reluctantly I'd have to agree, it was painful even after a handful of miles. Never thought a seat could cause such a reaction.
