  1. Nice! My vin is much later than that. I think I saw yours this weekend at the pony. Great looking bike. Signed up for gsresources as well. Their site is a little wonky, but I'm sure I'll find some good info there. Thanks man. I will pass on the fairing though.
  2. Interesting...great call on all the maintenance stuff. Had planned to / have now done most of that at this point. Ridiculous rack was gone shortly after the post, and I will need to figure out the seat for sure. I'm going to troll some forums and see how much this thing will go for in bone stock condition, it's only got 17k miles on it at this point. Running really nice now actually after some better gas in there and what/not.
  3. Lol. The Mustang is an old sign. I replaced it with my old man Mark VIII...but, I guess it does have a cobra motor!
  4. I think the only "cafe-ish" thing I'll do is lose the enormous jap 70's turn signals / brake light, recover/change the seat, and lose the tail section.
  5. So, 5 years ago a guy in my neighborhood had a garage sale..there was a 1977 Suzuki GS750 for sale for $300..didn't run. I was on the fence then, but didn't end up buying it. It's been sitting in his driveway under a cover ever since, and everytime I pass it...it's been killing me. So, the wife organized a father's day / birthday gift of a project bike. Amazingly, changed oil / fluids, new battery, gassed it up, and after leaning on the starter for a while to pull fuel in the carbs...black smoke, and she fired up! A $275 investment, and I have a fun UJM to dick around with. Idle's a little low, still needs some other routine ignored maintenance, but very pleased.
  6. Like how lexus / toyota lose money on every LFA sold...somehow I think the shareholders are ok with that decision...
  7. Reported one on 315N the other day, actually a series of them where they had ground down paint lines in the construction zone. Was clear that had a motorcyclist hit it, it could be fatal. It was fixed the following day. Just saying it might be wise to use the same language in the event that you come across one that's that bad. http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D06/Pages/Pothole.aspx

    Downloading currently. Thanks for the tip!
  9. GLWS. $800 feels really overpriced to me, but I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice either.
  10. Is this legit them trying to drift? or just examples of REALLY bad driving?
  11. Weird, dude who hates on it is all about bragging on the duration.
  12. Thanks for the post man. We were on the fence about going..but we are for sure now. I honestly couldn't believe $20 for a practice...glad they came to their senses.
  13. lol. either. i'm in the former category, not the latter.
  14. I thought this was a discussion of who had their red wings?
  15. Did you consider cleaning up the gauges any? It looks sweet as is, just curious.
  16. Streaming through the pc, and using a chromecast over wi-fi to show on the tv.
  17. Ended up subscribing to the package due to having cut cable at the house recently. It was great! No stupid commercial breaks right at the time of a pass or something.
  18. Great to actually be able to watch it, i didn't have the right network last year - now lets just get some ads on fanschoice.tv to pay for that streaming...
