Changed the oil, did a few cosmetic things and took her out for a ride. I just love riding this bike, so smooth, so comfortable. It was a beautiful day in Victoria today.

High wind and blowing dust warnings have killed any rides for this weekend. Winds in excess of 45 mph can be expected with gusts up to 60 mph (80-90 mph in mountain passes). Blowing bust will limit visibility to less then 1/2 mile. Yup fun day for sure.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]MrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002

I was so intent on riding even though southern NM has a "Wind Advisory" in effect. Talk about getting pushed around by the wind!
There is nothing to block the wind out here...take a look at these pics.
This is on Charlie Lee Memorial Relief Route on 1st Street.
I made it a point to capture that old truck in the background.
And this is on S. Scenic Route:
It's a beautiful day but not fun for riding on the highways and open roads.

GSX1000E
After firing up the beast for the first time last night, it was time to take it out for a 50+ mile break-in run. About 18.5 miles out, the speedo cable broke. (Oh well) The front end likes to lift without warning and I kept thinking that it runs just as good as one of my 1100E 4-valve bikes. That is until I got back home and hopped on an 1100 to compare. This thing makes the 1100E feel like an 850 compared to this demon!Perfect!
As I rigged a fuel tank to work just for this ride and slapped on some nasty GK side covers and I didn't even instal a tail piece, she is camera shy until I get the petcock relocated on the stock 1100G tank.
A nice windy 40-45 degrees to break-in an air-cooled engine.Noisy vid but here it is...

The winds here in southern NM are rediculous. They'll easily put a tractor-trailer on its side and toss a motorcycle like a toy.
Let's see more pics of your bike...come on, man!

Went for a little ride today on the 250.
Had to try out the UClear helmet intercom system. (The GS is down for some wideband installation work.)

Quick trip
I took a quick blip down to my mates Hot Rod shop to pick up a spacer for the new muffler. Nice cool day after a night of rain, and every man and his cattle dog was out on his/her bike, including a nice sample of a BSA Spitfire..
I asked for a aluminium one, but ending up with a stainless steel one, no complaining.
