Can you imagine waking up to that in your tent on rally night? That's El Sid, he scored all the best hippie chicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfalfa Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 First bike Second Switched to Kawasakis (first crash, too. got an extra thick collar bone cause of that bike) What do you do when you turn 40? Of course, you buy a .... Vibrated so bad the air cleaner bolt would back out, the headlight would break. Compression so high, it would bend the starter then, you go amurican, fully! Was the brother's, but he got fed up with the dealer not being able to fix things, so told them to sell it and he moved on to BMW Which led me to this: and, then this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfalfa Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Needed a bike to do Prudhoe Bay on: Succumbed to the call of the GS, finally The power and smoothness of a 6-cyl is fun! Wasnt going to go the liquid cooled GS route, until I rented one in Europe. getting older, so an upright sport bike is perfect! Mind wasnt maturing, so a normal sport bike had to be had. followed by a slight upgrade and, then stupidity reigned and i had to have the newest somewhere in the middle of the lunacy, got the Rallye version. Great offroad bike with all the electronic nannies Should stay away from the dealerships, as the updated XR called my name out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 A blast from the past with old film grain and all. The bike that I started with, a 1983 Honda CB650 Custom. I didn't know I still had this pic from the early 90's, so happy to find it. I loved that bike, her name was Betty and she taught me many lessons. . The background is Mount Kitchener, a mountain located within the Columbia Icefield of Jasper National Park, which is part of the Canadian Rockies. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This was the first KTM I ever owned (Fred will remeber it), I loved that bike, so many memories. I mate of mine has it now and has done a great job of restoring it. Here's a photo of the dash after two weeks riding around the Pyrenees, who remembers the sticker on the screen ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 @boboneleg, that's the only "road" KTM I ever liked. I test rode a 950S around Porto when they first came out and fucking loved it, felt like an enduro bike on cocaine. If I ever own a KTM, please let it be a 990.

Yes, personally I think KTM have lost their way with their recent bikes. The 950/990's had a certain dna but they seem to just trying to chase the BMW/Ducati market now.

Grasshopper Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 My driveway in the 90's. Mine is the GS500, a simple bike, but it was fun on the coastal highways. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GS500 was a bestseller in Portugal. Really a cool bike to have in it's time, maybe cooler than the bigger sellers XT600 and CBR600. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 How many Suzuki DR's can you get in one garage This was taken about four years ago. I had two 650's at the time and was transferring all the farkles from one to the other before selling the older bike, on the right is the last 350 I owned (now gone but up for sale by the new owner). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
