Spent a few hours stalking the pits and watching the races today.
Met Joe Ryan, owner/racer of an 8 valve GS750, bored out to 930mm.
I got many more pics too, will have to post a thread with most of them.
Joe Ryan

Wives…give me a wife who want's to be useful and join the fun.

Into the forest. Getting pretty cool now under 10?C. Took the long way to go and buy a car part, through the hills. Only about 50km out of my way

Beautiful!
Inaugural ride on the '81 yesterday. About 100 miles. No problems, heading out Wednesday for the 400-ish miles to John Day. Made sure I upgraded to Towing with trip interruption on my insurance. Not sure if I will use the stock seat covered with Duct Tape that sticks to my butt, or the cut down uncomfortable but nicer looking one.
After THREE YEARS without riding, I was back on the road yesterday, a nice 80 mile loop in western West Virginia. So nice to be in the saddle again and get the little biker wave from other bikers. Major kudos to GSRick who made a functioning bike out of the pieces I sent him.

Cool. Glad to hear that you're back up and running. Enjoy!
Did another Track Day @ the Ridge. The outside temp was a bit on the highside, probably near 100 degrees.
To be a whiner, I'd prefer 68 degrees or so.
Bike started and ran great, till the 2nd to last session, when I don't know what happened, the motor sputtered,
and I thought I might not make back to the pits.
With only one session left, I was bummed I couldn't do it, but clearly even the fast guys in the next group up were going slower from heat exhaustion.
I wasn't sure if I could even do another session, starting to feel hazy in the head.
Anyway, the bike made the call before I could and said "Your day is over".
I wasn't going to fuss with it in that heat, and called it day.
About 5 crashes, two red flags and numerous off track excursions into the "kitty litter" happened, only one delay in my group.
Actually the "relaxed" group had no incidents, just the intermediates, and advanced.

95 degrees today and my group decided it was time for a swim. We made our way south from Eugene on Sears Road, past Cottage Grove reservoir and through a series of forest service roads we finally ended up at Canton Creek off Hiway 138. Beautiful small waterfalls and pools about 10 feet deep to swim in.
Overall a beautiful ride, about 175 miles total. Another fine day in the Willamette Valley. Wish you were here.

Way to go kerfunk!
It's been two years since I've ridden and my bike is still sitting in the garage. I can just imagine how great it feels to ride again!
Nice looking bike!
Great day out for you oregonjake--beautiful area to ride and swim.

Cheers alke46. It is a Suzuki factory muffler off a late model bike. Works well. I had to modify it a little to fit the centre stand.
Thanks Charlie G. It does look good large.
