Peppermint needs to get back on the road..

[pmint patti]

Ain't been riding for a while.....3 stints in a row put in my heart in June....GRAMMA NEEDS TO RIDE AGAIN...
Anybody have an extra valve cover for a GS1110E....82-83 motor? I would prefer one that is NOT welded, as I already have that, and it's leaking in the same spot. They tell me it's a 'two bolt' pattern at the camtower....Make sense?

I'd also like a couple of gaskets for the same.


(Went for a ride yesterday-made it to the corner and came back)
WANTED: Rear master cylinder rebuild kit 1981 GS1100E frame/body style. Possibly the whole cylinder....Don't give me another heart attack with the price...This IS Gramma...
Yep, I'm back on the site....Now I REALLY need to get back on the road !

Thanks...pmint

Really glad to hear from you P. Patty.
The Resources hasn't been the same without you here.
We were talking about you:-k at Moosehead.All good.
Stints can't hold you back from riding. Let us know how we can help.
Wish I had a spare cover.

 

[pmint patti]

Thank you Doug,
I guess you could help by asking around for one...thanks.......I ALSO NEED THAT REBUILD KIT.

I hope to stay around here for a long, long time...I've been thinking about all of you, too!!! Even still talk about you to people...

I'VE SEEN SOME NEWBEE'S IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD RIDING OLDER 'ZUKES !!!!...
My main goal in life at this point is to get up on the 'old girl' and take her out for a cruise...it's been nearly a year !!!

I KNOW IF ANYONE CAN HELP, MY FAMILY, THIS FORUM, WILL.
luv, pmint

I'd recommend ordering the OEM rebuild kit from wherever you prefer to get your Suzuki parts. It includes the pistons as well as the CORRECT seals, unlike those crappy K&L kits. Guess how I know this...

PISTON SET
69100-08821
$33.45
(price at Flat Out, slightly more elsewhere)


Welcome back!

 

[pmint patti]

YOU, SOOOO ROCK. MY BLOD PRESSURE IS RISING....
Thank you!

 

[Guest]

YOU, SOOOO ROCK. MY BLOD PRESSURE IS RISING....
Thank you!

If you are like me (2 stents) the drugs you are on won't let your blood pressure rise.Four years in and never felt better.I've had a couple of "events" on the bike and never really got my heart pumping all that much.A few years earlier and I would have had to pull over till the heart rate settled.One plus I suppose.Offer up a couple of drinks and you'll have 'em lined up to give you a hand,at least that's how it works down here.Great to hear you're back with us by the way.Cheers,Simon.

 

[first timer]

Let me know if you need any wrench help, if you still have that truck of yours and you are in Tucson sometime look me up and I'll help you do some wrenching. Might have some good luck finding a valve cover from one of the drag guys here, like Rapidray, Lecroy or Racingjake they should have a few covers laying around.

like Brian said Flatout is good and you can't go wrong with bikebandit.com

 

[UncleMike]

Got nothin' to help you out, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Missed you!

 

[pmint patti]

Too late for individual answers tonight. But,by God (or whoever/whatever your choice is) am I glad to be able to reconnect. I can't believe how much I missed you.
I'm here, I'm alive and I'm more tha 50% healthy...Getting back out ridin' the old girl is just the medicine I need.
THE GUYS IN TECH ARE ANGLES...THEY ARE PERFORMING MIRACLES AS YOU READ THIS...I'm calling one on the phone tomorrow....

Hey Mike, You get married yet?

 

[UncleMike]

Hey Mike, You get married yet?

Hahaha...not exactly.

 

[rapidray]

I PMd you yesterday! Ray.

 

[pmint patti]

Yep, I'll tell you I'm one sorry excuse for a human being, these days,...I didn't get to the computer until later last night, and when looked at the time I thought it might be too late to bother you, Ray.

But, just to let others know, I JUST SPOKE WITH YOU AND WILL HAVE A MONEY ORDER IN THE MAIL....HOPEFULLY TODAY !

I've got some stuff to do in the next town over, (Camp Verde), and can get a money order there...Dave and I are untangling our legal attatchments from one another.....complicated.....

Anyway my search for the elusive valve cover & gasket...IS OVER !!!!

Thanks a million, RapidRay.....Serious, my gift shop is next to the gas station, the first exit so. of Sedona, on I-17. Can't miss it. There's a small town named Mc Guireville.......the riding is great coming from Calif (on I-17)...
lots of mountianous curves...but, be careful...The state will be working on my exit ramp for the next 3 months !!! I owe you a lunch sir.

Still have to get the OEM brake kit, as suggested by chef....I'm working on it chef....Gramma isn't quite as painfree as she was when she was a youngin' !!!

Thanks again my tender , lovin' family.....And I think I convinced my friend Bob to sign up on the GSR! He lives near me now, and is the x-parts man I used to talk about from Chicago. He's a great guy...
He's owns some classic Kaws and a Classic GS of some sort. He can explain if he ever gets here.....:-k

patti, i hope that wasn't your 1100 with a for sale sign on it in rimrock the other day? i cant imagine not being able to stop a leaking cam cover. has the brake master cylinder been rebuilt?
if you need some help, let me know, i'm not far away. ( and i've only had one stent since my bypass surgery fifteen years ago )

 

[pmint patti]

Ned, YOU'RE IN RIMROCK ????? UNBELIEVABLE !!!

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED HERE AND WHERE ARE YA?...You've seen my little shop in Mc Guireville, next to the Mini Mart?...When the big grey Dodge diesel is there....I'm there...
Or stop in and leave your phone # w/Bart. (He's on vacation presently.)...Are you one of the neighborhood guys I scribbled down this site (GSR) for?

No, it wasn't my Zuke. Mine's 'PINK' with a black velvet seat, low, lean, stretched and mean. Once seen...not forgotten.

BTW: I also saw they Grey 1100 for sale near the old pizza joint !!! It looked in VERY good shape. Did you get the phone # ?
Big Dave would LOVE it !!! ...I shudda got the #....bet he sold it!!!

patti,
i live up on wikiup mesa, moved here from cottonwood a couple of years ago.
the bike was at the beavermart gas station and was the coral color e model. phone was 300-xxxx. people in the station prolly know who it belongs to.

[cloudbreakmd]

Welcome back Peppermint Patti!!! I haven't seen you post in along time.

 

[pmint patti]

Thanks cloudbreak...so glad to hear from you!!

Ned, I'M At THE BOTTOM OF THE MESA. You turn on Cayuga Ln to get up the mesa on Navajo, right? I'm on cayuga...a short street...that's whereI live.

My business is in McGuireville, as you face the minimart (Express Fuels) I'm the little red House. Pink and while sign on the fence on the fence. ..Lots of /flowers and a white tent in front.
If he was the very first settler, in the 1800's...Yes, it's his house. I forget his first name. The last private owner was Midge Pigeon, Grandmother to Sharon Halland JoAnne Poole. Two of my best friends, since I moved here. I've been in the valley for 8-9 years. How long have you been here? Working? Retired? What street are you on, and what do you ride?

 

[pmint patti]

Ray, I put the money order in the mail and, a little more for your time. Pick me a nice one will ya? My motor is painted black...so, whatever you think.

Have I said thank you yet ?
pmint

 

[ned37]

patti, thats too funny. i was taking my truck out for a test run this afternoon coming out of cayuga when a woman in a grey dodge was pulling in. :-k i live on redrock close to forest glen. se corner of the mesa.
my suzuki is a maroon 79 gs1000 with a small sport fairing.

 

[pmint patti]

Well. if the grey dodge truck went straight, that was me... I'm at the end of the block, under the indian ruin. Another lady has a small grey truck, but mine's got dull paint (top clear coat peeled).
...and I just messed up the right front bumper !!! (Darn roadsigns during recent road improvements on Beaver Creek Road!)
I have an appt w/the heart surgeon today, but I will be at the shop Fri, Sat & Sun...from 11am - 4pm. Have you seen the shop?
Do you ever go to Flynn's???
How'd you find out about the GSR?

Now I'm psyched...Somebody THIS CLOSE !!! I've LOTS of friends up on the mesa. A special one on Forest Glen...Big Dave's drums are at his house.
The closest gsr members used to be in Pheonix...How is Wild Bill, you guys?...Did you chase him out of here yet? He REALLY is a nice guy in person. Very, very funny man.

There was another young man down there, but, I forgot his name... He even stayed overnight here..... Bought a little car up here from a friend of Big Dave...(I hate getting those memory lapses...)
Sorry, pmint
