anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[Carter Turk]

No pics?
There are some of us that live vicariously through you track guys.

Were you on the Kat?

The Kat engine has been taking a long nap since 2017, but stole the engine out of my wife's 1150 a while back 4/19, so I'm still riding the Kat on the street.

I was riding my beater 04 gsxr 750 track only bike. The photographer 360photography.com will have photos up tomorrow afternoon, I'll try to figure how to post some from my chrome book.

I had a bit of a scare. Riding home from visiting dad after dark. I decided to take the state road for a few miles cuz it has a big hill with some fun turns. Well there was a state cop sitting there and he pulled out and followed me at a respectable distance all the way to where I turned off onto the back roads to home. When I got home I realized that I had no tail light or brake light.

I think the cop was just making sure no one caught up to me but wasn't in the mood to actually pull me over.

Seems the tail light on a bmw r1150gs is about the cheapest plastic part I've ever seen. The rest of this bike is rock solid but the tail light housing is minimalist at best. It was melted and had blown two fuses. Hopefully it also doesn't cost much to replace.

I did the mandatory post wash ride. My bike now does not leak oil from the oil cover filter, even if ridden hard (rode for about 90 minutes). Yay me.

It still sweats oil from the generator cover, and oil is coming out the rubber thing between final and secondary drive.

But its soo fun to ride the bike without worrying about losing oil.

I only went to the airport and back (45 minutes each way and 90kmh speed limits).Was a bit more trafficky than Id like. I considered stopping at the gas station for a coffee wtih the biker people, but I decided to just ride back.

That 750 is a cool looking bike.

Is that the V&H Street Megaphone, or the Sidewinder header?

Old Turn 14, now 17 @ The Ridge.

Had a whole session battle with this guy, he kept looking back hearing something on his tail.
Think he may have a gotten tired on the last lap, as I found away by.
He was tentative entering 3 slower corners, but rolled on the V-4 on exits.

Last shot in the pits with buddies back in June.

Lol....and all it is is the simplicity of us riding our motorcycles.

Someone needs to go through and count how many are actually GSs... or not. I know I'm guilty of posting way more non-GS rides than GS. :dejection:

Piped Aprillia usually have a nice sound to follow.

If you have your settings to view 40 posts per page, It's only, ONLY 250 pages.

:eagerness:

On that note, I'll be doing a fun overnighter in Globe tomorrow. It's only 100 miles round-trip, but it lets me rail through Salt River Canyon.

Not my video, and you'll want to turn the sound off or put on some good rock, but it shows the canyon.

This came up in my facebook from 7 years ago...my cousin and his wife flew out from Ontario and with me and my wife we rode my two old suzukis throughout BC for a week. The bikes never let us down. It still seems a bit crazy when I think about it...two up and loaded with gear. I had not seen my cousin in ten years and he was the one that got me into bikes....He's 10 years older than me and I would ride on the tank of his cb750four...at 17 he co-signed for my first new bike...a 1983 gs750ed...which I have again in my collection.
