It appears I have to do a double click to get any response to load a pic.


Just a random pic. Sv650 with a lot of suspension upgrades. The rider wrote it off a couple years ago with a really bad oops that he walked away from. He admits quite quietly that speed was a factor.

This H-D also has a reverse added to it. Hand shifter and whatnot, The rider is somewhat disabled and needs to just keep his left foot in the foot board surround.

Pleased to be able to help. If you want more than one picture in the same post, just do the browse etc for each picture you want, and all the picture numbers will come up under each other. Just drag them, one by one, into the post, and they'll all come up side by side. I think the maximum is four or five.

More random pics.

Pics of my Vstrom650, Lynda's GZ and an egg we found in Alberta while riding to the far SouthEast corner of Manitoba.

The egg was quite a project. It was computer designed at a University in Montana and consists of more than 5,000 pieces to make the egg shape. It acts as a wind vane too. While we were there it actually turned on it's pedestal with just a slight breeze. Really amazing.

The GZ made a wonderful small touring bike. Yeah a little slow, but it did the entire trip of 5,000 kms(3,000 miles) with nary a whimper.

Thanks again Alantf. You have really made my day.

As a side note. Tomorrow I start the first day of year #12 of retirement.
And some contractor working here bought my old Honda. It is his now and although I didn't get near what I put into it I am happy it is gone.

It really has been a fine day with warm temps but I didn't get to ride the new bike. But that is okay. I have the rest of my life to ride.

Oh, forgot to mention this just for general info. The old 1983 SilverWing I bought a couple years ago is gone. I never did ride it due to Lynda being in ill health so it just sat there after I put a bucket of cash into it. Lost a lot of money in the end but I seriouly think I was never meant to ride the bike. It was mechanically sound but just looked really neglected by the previous owner and age was a major factor also. Glad to see it go to a new home.
