Bike looks good.  Are you running a GSXR rear shock?  Your bike looks like its about to fall over in a couple of those shots!

No, stock shock.  In those two pictures where it looksl ike the bike's going to fall over, there is a tiny piece of wood under the kickstand.

Hmm...  Purrrtttyyy.  No terrain like that in Iraq.  God, can't wait to get home.  Seems like it'll be Dec! (YES!)  Anyway, looks like some very nice scenery to ride in, 'cept watch out for those leaves!

Ok, since i did it, i find it hard to look at another early GS with its tail light right side up, its such a bump in the carpet,  try fliping your, im sure you will like it too. the line just looks so much cleaner.

Better yet, install some LED brake lights from the for sale forum.
THat scenery aint bad, cant beat Alberta, but its okay... for the east. Needs some mountains. Just bugging of course.  :cheers:
That bike dont look half bad. I like the lack of Suzuki decals on the tank. Looks clean.

The whole bike is stock.  I only shifted the position of the reflecters under the seat.  I can't believe nobody noticed :(  Hehe :)

Pizzle, weren't we supposed to go for a ride last summer?

Anyway, it's in waterdown.  It's called - Snake Road.  Here's a site you might find handy, shows some decent roads in Southern Ontario.  Snake road is on it.

Hehe.

If you take that road, watch out for police.  They are always on that road on weekends.  ALWAYS.  Sportbikes and all other kinds of motorcycles come to that road from miles around.  The people who live there hate bikes.  I had a resident charge at me from his yard as I was riding by.  I wasn't even speeding.  He got the middle finger alright ! :)

Last summer I took one pass on the road, it was clear.  So I turned around and started blasting down the road.  In the time it took me to turn around a cop had set up his radar equiptment on the road.  I came around a corner doing double the speed limit.  He nailed me.  I heard him say "AHH first catch of the day!"

This cop was pretty cool though, infact he was one of those 'harley cops'.  He mentioned to me that he rides a sportbike and likes this road.  He ended up giving me a ticket for 10 over, that way I didn't get any tickets.  I wish I never got caught, however I'm glad he was the one who caught me.
