Great pics, Sandy.
It must be difficult watching the road with beautiful scenery like that all around.

Thanks Steve. Yes a beautiful area for sure. Let's put it this, I got very good gas mileage that day. LOL.

Had my Purple People Eater on the track Friday night, Gingerman Raceway, MI.
I've gotten too fast for Novice so I asked to be bumped up.
Over due… I been hooligan #1 the last 2 track days, passing where I ain't supposed to.
Maybe half a dozen crashes requiring bikes to be brought back on a trailer.
One man and his bike took a nasty tumble, happened in front of me at the end of the main straight. Can't figure out how he did it, except he locked up his front tire in the braking zone, newbee mistake.

CVMG Rally in Paris, ON Canada. Was rainy, but a great time out with fellow vintage bike fans.

I like your 650G!

Thanks. As a prior decade-long owner of a 1969 Triumph twin I’m used to public interest in my bike, but I was surprised by the interest in my GS. Two folks said they didn’t know that Suzuki made a GS650 with a shaft drive, to which I say that’s the primary reason I like it, plus the electric start and oil tight engine.

Yesterday was a track day here on the West side of town. If not for seeing an ad on Craigslist, I wouldn't have known about it. Met lots of great guys and gals who were passionate about these vintage bikes. Really a fun day. I think these were Dennis Parrish's bikes but we didn't get a chance to meet him. Maybe next time.

They had three classes and three sessions each on the track. Great fun watching them just practice. The races were today but I'll have to try and make the next one.

Make sure you’re still logged in, as I often get bounced from the forum and then can’t see pics. They’re still there.

Great batch of pics guys!
Bill, the track bike looks great.

................... Why did they decide to move back?
..................

Yah, why would someone want to move back to Michigan after being in SanDiego/Oceanside for 5 years?
- about 8 million too many people there
- holidays with only a short FaceTime/Skype with family
- 5 years enlisted (E.O.D.) and 5 years as officer (E.R. Nurse) was enough.
- free babysitting at grandparents har har har

Seems to be a lot of those goofy bikes with cylinders sticking out both sides.

Great shots! Would love to witness bikes of that era doing there thing on the track.
Also that CL Ad had some excellent vintage shots.
So many worthy photos of the past.

Great event! I wanna see them here in Michigan, AHRMA will be at my home track 1st week of August!
BTW: Them are the hottest sport 750s of their period!

Anyone go for a ride today? Why yes, yes I did....

Third summer living here, first time through the gap on a bike. Just 90 minutes from my driveway.
