found this pic on a link off of e-aby was wondering if this person hangs around in here

Not me but that is a cool pic, Ive never seen a GS at that angle before.
it's someone that's selling a video of himself riding deals gap on a 01 gs500.
I don't think I'd be interested in buying the video, I have my own fond memories of Deals Gap on a GS :)
Just wondered if maybe it was someone here.
That is one sweet looking pic....I'll bet he is really moving.
i ride with this guy...he used to be on the board...but he sold his GS already...
I've met him a couple times...I'll fwd a link to this thread to him and he can speak for himself. :cheers:
the coolest part of the pic is if you look close, you can see the sidestand sparking on the pavement (it was bigger I had to re-size it to get it to fit)
Impressive! Look, he's not hanging off, you can tell he's on the gas because his front forks aren't even partially compressed, that way he's maximizing ground clearance, but he's still going fast enough to get that GS heeled over and scrape the sidestand.
Yea Barna Sooki ... He made a US run last year was it ... there was pics with Cops in Pennsylvania or somewhere ...
Cool.
Srinath.
he's selling his video on ebay

check it out...
yeah, that's where i saw it
Hey old friends! How's everyone - long time no see! Yeah, I sold my good 'ol GS last winter and moved to an '03 R6 for a short time before settling with an '01 VFR. I miss my little GS, but it wasn't able to get me out of trouble fast enough :nono:
I was about to throw out the video since I made one too many copies, but figured somone out there might want it. Anyway, I just checked, it's 1:01:35 in length with lots of audible tire chirping and peg srapin'. Even a couple close calls :)
Barna
Nice
What brand of gear is he wearing???
i thought it was rrbarna.. i wasn tsure though..
mmm nice pic.. im saving it for my wall paper.
that's a Joe Rocket Blaster jacket
thanx Frost, what about pants and boots?
haha...you really wanna be like barna?
i "think" the pats are JR blaster as well...and boots i have no idea..
I've often thought about wearing racing leathers, but thought it might look silly on a medium size bike, especially a one piece outfit. And no I'm not a fat porker :lol: It's just if you're wearing a racing outfit, then, really, you gotta race haven't you? What do you reckon?
:dunno:

He he, not quite, It's just I already scalped my knees and since I still ride in jeans and a Tourmaster Lite jacket I am pretty concerned about leaning the bike on tight turns, specially because there's a lot of pedestrian lines, and construction rubbles and debris, etc., where I usually ride...

Me too, I am just looking to a more civilian look, but still protect myself...
Yep, the jacket and pants are both the previous generation Joe Rocket Blaster series. They're better then the newer series especially at the collar. Ask Frost how faded that jacket looks now with almost 50,000 miles on them :) It's very well constructed - Pants too.
The boots are worthless... I think the are Teknik's but a lower class boot... It went right through to my socks with all the upshifting.. a nice 1/2" hole... it came back ever efter professionally repairing it.
Glad you guys like the photo.... Too bad I never had a chance to record my wheelies in good quality. The GS was a pretty cool budget stunt bike, but not as tough as the R6 or VFR... now those bikes take a hell of a beating.
Anyway, here are a few albums of some of the bigger rides I did in '04
