That dent in the tank

keeps getting bigger.  The new owner of my old GS sent a progress update.  I sure do miss that bike.

Not bitter, not missing her...

..but a little blue.

Got a couple photos of the old GS from the new owner.  He reports it went to Sturgis and  put on some 600 canyon miles and had zero issues.  Hasn't changed much but my battery box is covered up and my sweet amateur attempt at brush paining is gone from the gastank.  I'm glad glad glad the new owner is happy and that the functional work I've done on this bike has held up.  Not so glad to give up something I spent a lot of time with and watch it get changed around by someone else.  But it's just stuff.  I came into this world with none of it and I'll leave just the same.

Time has come

The GS is up for sale.

Contact me if you're interested...

On the road again

New clutch plates and cable, less sketchy tires.

Went real nice on a run out to Dan's tonight.

Amazing how fast a fella moves on repairs when the alternative is bikeless.

Muddy Sunday

Trying out the dualsport tires on the GS...if you are prone to seizures the video might set you off, due to my shitty camera.

New shoes

Converted to tubeless after some nerve racking drilling of the valve holes. Thanks for the valve stem advice Dan!

Just a bean farmer

A little lite offroading in the beanfields. A low sun really makes a dirty bike look clean!

Notes from the garage

Since the VFR's front end was still torn off yesterday, I rode the GS to my monthly Sheephead game. I forgot how much I like that bike. It's an interesting comparison of technology between the two. Like the VFR stops right now when you hit the brakes and the GS doesn't so much, which I was reminded of at the first stop sign I encountered.

Also, did you ever wonder what 10lbs. of rubber bands looks like? Now you know:
