Well done Sir, can we see it ?


How about the matching leathers Bart?
Like all leathers they shrank over time.....

Over the years I've had to relax the ergos a bit with Hellibars and if you look at the footrest bracket an extra link to lower the peg.
Jumping on the old girl after the Spanish trip on the S10 it felt like a toy, but still brings a huge grin.

Right on!! I could only wish to keep a bike that long. They get beat to crap then I get rid of them.

Nice looking Fire Blade! My Vmax is 32 years old this year and I have had her for the last 12. She needs a completely new water pump installed but I've been having too much fun with my ST to get her repaired.:( JIC I've kept her apart from the ST just so she would not get jealous! o_O

Clothes shrunk? B.S. Mine have gotten way bigger. Clear up to XXXL. I think is the marketing people, they want to label all the clothes to make you think you are bigger then you really are. Yah, that must be it. It is the marketing people.

I recently sold my Suzuki RG500 which I purchased new in 1986, had it almost 30 years and it still ran great (but engine has blown up many times!!), just not riding it anymore so sold it to get a couple of Gas gas trial bikes and put the rest away for a rainy day!!
