First ride since the heart surgery....felt good to get out, but I may have been a little premature on my recovery, as I am very sore.

Glad you're recovering!
BTW; is that the Fox river?

Glad to hear you went out for a ride and that you are on the mend. That is one beautiful bike! Thanks for posting...

Thanks!

Man that's one gorgeous Trophy!!!

Not bad for an older 900....

The Fox River just north of St Charles, IL

Glad you're recovering!

I just had to post this pic my wife put on her facebook page today.... makes me smile. You will notice she has added a very nice wicker basket to her 81 Honda Passport...making it even more awesome!

My wife is envious! Nice scenery there too.

I had a Passport/ Cub 70. First bike! Got it for $100 and ran it for a month's before selling it for a Yamaha Riva 200, which last a couple months and then I bought the GS750.

Really cool bikes, mine was never that nice...

Well, another daughter is on the road with a bike. That makes 3 sons and 2 daughters of mine who ride now. We did a 90 mile bike and hike today up north to Bald Ledge Vista trail. Great route to get there and enough exercise to get a workout. Nice views of lakes and mountains. She got her first dousing of rain on the way home. Plenty of back roads and dirt road riding to start to gain experience. The KZ550 is a perfect bike for all that. Even though the KLR would have navigated the Class VI road at our destination, we parked the bikes and walked in to the trail head.
On the way home....

This morning on the Shawangunk Ridge near New Paltz New York looking north to the Catskills.

A flat seat and low bars on an L?
Got any more pics of the whole bike.

Steve, If you use the Search function and type in "Another deLization" you will find a few more pictures of my revamped 550 L.

Yeah Steve like the NOOB said, use the search feature!

Because posting a link would be too much of PITA ...

Ha!

 

[Jedz123]

Because it's Easy...

Here you go Steve!:

Tested my GSX750EF today after carb cleaning. Damn it was fun!

 

[dorkburger]

Nice looking ride!

 

[Charlie G]

That's the nicest "L" I've ever seen!

I missed that thread.
As others have said, a nice de-Ling.

We had a great ride yesterday. Longest I'd ever done. I checked, and double checked, the gas usage and can't believe it. This stock 83 GS850G, with my wife on the back, climbing in altitude, traveled 143 miles on 2.89 gallons of fuel. That's 49.5 miles per gallon! That seems too good.
What do you guys typically get?

Ok, just a quick search shows that's not far from expected. With a giant windjammer, two up, gear, still good though.
