Named my motorcycle Gertrude. Then, depending on my cleaning tendencies, she would be either "Purty Gerty" or "Dirty Gerty".

After the upcoming re-build, I'll probably come up with a different name, though.

Oops! edited the link, works now.

The electrical on the older Suzuki's isn't all that great, you might want to check that out.
Otherwise, I can't hink of anything off-hand.

My wife and I are planning on visiting Ireland during the spring semester for a study-abroad trip. I am of the opinion that we would do better to visit over the summer. Much less paperwork and headache to contend with. Anywho... my question is this. Is there a good place to rent a motorcycle from wh...

WooHoo! Got her all back together (excepting the fairing). Now just waiting for the battery to charge so I can try to start her and see how it goes. -crosses fingers-

She's not back together yet, but we've made some definate forward progress! I must admit, I hate some old gasket material! Finally got it all removed, though, and got the new o-rings in place. I highly recommend that you follow the book's advice and get the inner pistons into the cyls before the out...

I don't know that there is anything more frustrating than having my bike in pieces and watching everyone else out riding. Except for having to wait a month to get my final parts in, especially when it was only supposed to be a couple of weeks. But I got the cyls honed and returned. The o-rings and t...

For some reason I just now noticed this thread.

Named my bike Gertrude. She's all nasty and grimy so right now she's Dirty Gerty. Once I get her put back together, I'll do a little bit of cleaning and she'll be Purty Gerty!
