I like that dam picture

Take all the dam pictures you want. Does anybody have any dam questions.

Hey, watch you dam language, this isn't the Vortex.

I got two tag photos on of a hospital here in Central Fl and a vintage mobile home that sticks out among the normal ones.

My pic is from the right of the first stock photo and from the left of the second stock photo.

Next tag is an unusual sculpture using scrap.

Boy, that mobile home sure does stick out! Didn't know they made double decker ones. Come to think of it I may have seen the owner of that home passing through Albuquerque.

Here they are at Home Depot a couple of months ago.

Rick, how are you liking the 1150?

Rick, how are you liking the 1150?

It's a different feel than all my other GS's, but I like it. I was surprised by the foot peg position being a lot higher than my 1100, but it's not that much different than the position of the GSX1100G. The hand position is a lot like my FJ1100, but that has lower foot peg position. That bike fits me like a glove. It has a weird whistle sound to it that my other GS's don't have and there is quite a bit of vibration through the handle bars that I fell through different RPM ranges. I'm going to go through the valves and possibly pull the carbs soon and give them a through cleaning in my ultrasonic cleaner, but I've been having fun riding it. Hopefully clearing out the carbs and setting the valve clearances will remove that. I also found out it doesn't have the proper clear on the tank and really have to be careful filling it. When I get the time I may color sand it lightly and put a couple of coats of 2K on it before it really gets screwed up.

Glad you're enjoying it.
Yes they are buzzy. I found that synching the carbs has helped quite a bit on mine, but hasn't fully stopped it. Suzuki had two different bar end weights over the years, I'm assuming to address the buzz, but I never experimented. Aftermarket bars on mine.

When you do the valves be VERY careful tightening the vav cover bolts. They strip really easy.

Thanks for the info Glen. How did you put different bars on it. Before I got mine, a guy I sold a part to mentioned one of the things he didn't like was the hand position of the bars and that there was no adjustment.

I have Telefix fully adjustable ons I got from e bay (used) I Unbolted the stockers, installed the replacements. They were listed as fitting my bike, but I was a bit concerned at first because the clip on socket hit the top yoke before it was fully seated- the fork is about 3/4 of the way thru. Its been fine for the last ten plus years though.

I didn't like the odd angle of the stock ones. One of my albums here has a picture.

Rick, I can't see your new tag post. Scrap art right? It was here a while ago.

Here's an unusual collection of scrap/ art. Tin man, looks like a baseball catcher's knee pads and shin guards sprayed silver but mostly metal. Also some weird glass enclosure with a soldier in it, and an airplane. Odd collection, hope it fits the bill...

 

[Burque73]

If that's accepted, here's a shameless use of sports cars to draw attention to a pizza joint. That's the new tag, attention getters. What are businesses using for attention getters besides just a sign?

 

[Guest]

Photobucket is playing games with that pic. Tag accepted.

 

[Burque73]

I drove by a van painted with stars and stripes like the business it sat out in front of. Another that had an old Willys truck as an advertising aid. Some places use the vehicle on a stick for attention getters.

Just throwing ideas out there for anyone who may want to jump in here...

That's what I bought my E100 for a few years ago and what the guy that bought was going to use it for.

Not the tag

Here is a local Flea Market that has a couple of old trucks to catch the eye of passing traffic for it's Antique portion of the market.

New tag is an unusual tree that catches your eye. I've been riding by this tree on my work test rides and never noticed it, because it's behind me as I pass and the other day something caught my eye and I looked back and saw all these vines twisting around the tree and growing through the fence.

Another tree that caught my eye today heading to get the current tag was this rare giant Carrot tree.

 

[Burque73]

Pretty cool tree Rick. Reminds me of Treebeard from Tolkien's Fangorn forest.

I see another tag pic disappeared.

Here ya go!

I was headed here this morning and though, why not. How about your church or just a church for the new tag.

 

[Guest]

Awesome, we have plenty of those. I'm going to have to think of a next tag, so I can plan a destination in the morning.
