    All this talk motivated me to get out and get the ABS sorted on my 17" alloy conversion. Having the top case for the laptop was essential while doing reflashes via Bluetooth to dial it all in. All set ABS was working overtime for the roads were icing over. Love riding, can't wait till I can do it again everyday.

      Having had a top case on almost every bike I've ever owned, they just look normal to me.

        After a few days of strong winds, today turned out to be calm and 32°C. I have often been to Blouberg Beach, on the other side of Table Bay across from the city of Cape Town. However, it has always been by car to transport children, beach umbrella, towels, picnic lunch, etc. As a result I did not have any photos of my bike with this landmark in the background.

        So today I went for a ride on the 850 and finally got that photo!



        This is the view of the city from the lower slopes of Table Mountain, looking across Table Bay to Blouberg Beach, from where the previous photo was taken.

                  No pics, but took the GSX1100G out for a little spin yesterday. Felt really good but the Russell daylong seat on my FZ1 has me spoiled. The "G" seat was not very good feeling, comparatively.

                      Mild winter here, been out on my Honda the last 2 weekends. I'm working on a serious valve job with my GS1100G, that could be rolling in 3 weeks.

                          You want to know what sucks? I'm sitting in Arizona with no bike to ride. Talk about B O R I N G.

                          I brought my Honda ST 1100 out here last November to have a bike to enjoy during the cold winter months.

                          I was here riding it 3 weeks ago and had it listed on C/L. Well it finally sold last Saturday and now I'm bored silly. I still have a couple more days to stay here with my sister then I will head back home taking the scenic route through Utah and Colorado, visiting my daughter and granddaughter.

                          I'll be back home early next week so I can start getting the Suzuki ready for the warmer weather.

                            Larry, I'm glad and sad for you, but mostly glad. Congratulations on selling that ST. I'll bet it was bitter sweet to see it go with all the miles you enjoyed on it.
