    Here she is in all her Pink glory. A 1982 Suzuki GS450L. This is the bike I bought my wife to learn to ride on. I paid $700 for it and it was sizzle can painted Maroon, rusted out pipes, covered with mud, cobwebs, and oil.

    The PO had attempted to strip the side covers to polish them. He stripped them ok but the polish? Not so much. Over the winter I bought NOS covers on eBay, new petcock, windshield, sissybar & rack, and front tire.

    Earlier this spring we were in Iron Pony and she saw this metalic pink pearl HJC helmet and loved it. She bought it and I took it into Ohio Auto Kolor and had some PPG paint color matched to the helmet. I contacted the company that makes Color Shock decals and had them custom make some Breast Cancer decals for me.

    I found a better tank on eBay for $30. I took it to StreetWerks and had it media blasted to bare steel. The graphic artitst at my office spray it for me.

    The weekend she took her MSF class I spenthe days cleaning 28 years of dirt and grime off the bike and reassembling it for her. I kept it covered while she was home so she had no idea what I was doing. When she got home Sunday night and told me she passed, I unvelied the bike for her.

    She loved it!! Yeah, it's pink, but it looks 90% brand new, showroom clean, and runs like a top.

    Let's just say that night was "berry berry go to me"!!

    So, here she is in all her Pink glory and no, it's not secretly mine. I own the GS850 in my signature and an 06 ZG1000 Concours.

  7. RIP Ryan Dunn

    i would agree if he hit another car....but his passenger is the only person to blame for their fate. nobody forced them to get into the car. its not ryan dunns fault that the passenger made the choice to get in the car with a driver who was drunk.

    if you guys want to hold people accountable for their actions, at least hold all parties involved accountable, dont try and pin it on a single person, its not like the passenger was a 2yr old in a child seat. im not defending dunn's actions, but im not foolish enough to put all the blame on him either, like the passenger was some innocent victim.

    true, but the passenger isn't standing on the go pedal. he might have thought, cool i'll snag a ride home with dunn in his porsche bang my wife and pass out. probably never thought about going 100+ backwards through the woods. what could you do as a passenger if the driver decides, hey i wanna air out the ole' gt3?
