It's too bad you have such a big chip on your shoulder...I love the Band. Grew up within 30 miles of 4/5 of the Band.
 
I dont have a chip Trevor....its just thst seems like as soon as i started defending Harleys, everyone jumped down my throat.....at my age i dont need that crep....

You loved The Band, eh ?....my bike is named in memory of Levon Helm (My Lil Bessie Girl)....and as a matter of fact, I bought my SuzyQ (thats her name) in Woodstock NY....I aint a bad guy brother....I just get pizzed off when the peanut galery chimes in and disrupts significant posts. I have an IQ of 186, and I just get frustrated at idiocy.....

Levon Helm was almost a god (Bessie was named after "Up on Cripple Creek).....I was gonna name my 85 GS700 after the Creedence song, SuzyQ, which I used to listen to when I was in Cambodia.....I changed my mind.....
My Suzi is gonna be called "Evangeline".....I used to play mandolin as well before the arthritis set in....

I grew up in Woodstock Ontario
 
Dont let the door hit you on the AZZ on the way out,
and good riddance by the way.
 
You picked a weird place to go off on a defense of Hardlys. They have almost made it into the 21st century now, but the zombies who love that overpriced, underperforming rolling burlesquery can all gather on one of the bazillion pirate power sites.
 
Jedz: " I was going to check out a Street750 today but got sidetracked and went to the Yamaha dealer instead. I wanted to throw my leg over an SR400... It's surprisingly small but the build quality is top Notch, like exceptional. The one I sat on was $5500 new... Dip stick was in the frame near the triple tree... Weird. I think I could get over the kick start. "
Lad, that is the choke…

No choke my friend, truly was the dip stick twist and release and there it was... A dip stick that said engine oil with a measure on it reading normal and low.

Its Fuel injected as well. Chokes are pretty much extinct on brand new machines.
 
For an IQ of 186 you should never "have trouble making rent"....lol​

Normally no....but I have 8 physical disabilities which the US Govt refuses to recognise because im white/male and have made too much money when I was working. I was actually told that by a social worker and a SS Disability rep....thats why i started my own shop....just a slow start after a splenectomy and partial pancreas removal....but this white boy dont give up.....never have, never will....

BTW...I got that IQ number from Mensa....I was dating a girl from Texas that owns gas wells....she paid the $600 for the test....i was accepted....went to the Mensa party to greet all new....all were wearin tuxedos and such...i came in old oily engineers boots, dirty jeans, a leather jacket, and a t-shirt that said "look close, i might be your father".....lol....I bailed and told em all to go fook off....buncha stuffed shirts....pompous azzholes....but thats how I am....was enough to me to know i was a mid-level genius....spent the next 7 days cruisin around Oklahoma back roads....was pretty cool....I just really hate the flatlands ....nice place to viisit, but.....

Even wrote a poem about it 8 yrs ago called 'Armadillo Roadkill"....and yeah, i was a writer....4 novels in the works since 1979....none of em finished....just cant get motivated....I need help with that....wonder if Samantha could do that....

Yup. Same place they had it when they first built the XT and SR500 40 years ago.
 
Doh! I am so olde.
So many small bikes had the choke there, including the GS550.
Dipstick in a bike? How common is that?
 
Why would a Kawi rider join a forum dedicated to Suzuki GS owners anyway? Even when I had my ZX-14 I didn't want to chat with other Kawasaki owners. :-k

From the home page of the GSResources:

This website is dedicated to the GS models that thrive and survive on the support of GS riders EVERYWHERE!

[h=2]To Sum It Up - We Are Here To...[/h] ...provide information on the bikes and the people that ride them. We'll show you how to keep them in shape and where to get parts and pieces to put them together. We are also the meeting place for fellow GS owners to get together to talk about their motorcycles!!


The GSR is not about the owners. It is a resource for owners to share information on taking care of and riding their GSes.

We happen to like this line of motorcycles, a line what was made between 30 and 40 years ago. Our bikes aren't literally antiques - yet - even though most states let us license them that way, few of us do. Lots of us bought GSes new, so this is an older crowd. Most members have owned, or still do own, other makes of motorcycles. All of us have friends who primarily ride other makes. The predominant feeling is that, due to both accident and design, Suzuki designed the GS line with a better combination of characteristics than other lines from that era, Properly maintained GSes hold their own even today.

Each rider has his/her own style and preferences. Personal style and preferences determine which line and models work best for each of us. Some motorcyclists like the 'image' of being a biker, or an image attached to their particular machines. What image attaches to GSes? My uncle rode his Gold Wings with his wife close to a half million miles. His observation on GS riders was, "They just like to ride."

"They just like to ride" is a completely different than a life style and attitude that is attached to any particular line of motorcycles. Most Harley owners just like to ride, too. Most ride Harleys because they (depending on the model) tend to be comfortable for short to medium rides, and because, in many circles, motorcycle means Harley-Davidson. Those riders, most Harley riders, are warmly welcomed by GSers. The rub comes from a different group of people who accept only Harleys. For them, it is not about riding. Everyone who rides other brands a lot has been subjected to insults, and often to open intimidation from that contingent. Threads like this one arise because GSers need to vent once in a while after being insulted for our choice of rides.

We just like to ride.
 
Don't bother with this jackass.
The brainwashed can rationalise anything.
Try to avoid all sheep all of the time.
