Good that shakedown cruise was good.
I am not understanding "5c".

Beautiful day to ride so I took the GS out. Earlier I was going to ride it to Cars & Coffee but had issues with getting it started. After sitting a couple of weeks while I was out of town the bowl was dry, and cranking it wouldn't trigger the vacuum and fill it. One problem is that the prime on my OEM replacement petcock isn't working, and I don't have time to investigate. Took tank off and found a split in the vacuum line which was the other issue, so I re-routed it, and as a quick workaround to the prime issue I put a T fitting on the vacuum line and plugged it, and temporarily I can use a Mityvac hand pump to get things going now. It's a hack but it works, will fix properly later.
Stopped at Trabuco canyon general store and got a lot of interest in the bike. It sure is fun to ride but I have to keep it sane, the power is just so crazy.

Hey Trevor, Hey Trevor, I got a story for you.
About four years ago and again a couple years ago, on BMWST forum, I started a thread for posting pic of any ride. THinking it would be like this thread here that you started and is so popular. On both occassion it never took off, got maybe one other post other than mine.
I really pondered why it didnt take off there when is so popular and active and interesting here.
Well, about three weeks ago, I tried it again, but this time I named the thread "Anybody go for a ride today? Got any pictures?". Yep, I blatantly copied your title.
ANd, so far, it has been fairly active.
Anyone go on any ride today? Got any pics of your ride? Post here, anybody. Doesnt need to be a cross country trip.

I got 95 miles on the Suzuki yesterday and then another 75 this morning just to test cooler weather tolerance and then this afternoon I took the Triumph out for 95 miles.
Never had to leave the state but still rode through Nashville, Memphis, Louisville and South Bend.Larry

Took the DR up to Ladysmith today 220kms round trip. Bike now has 330kms on it now...lol Got new Pro Taper bars, Acerbis Lever guards, and Apollo heated grips. I didn't get home until 6:30....it was a beautiful day but cold ride home.
My buddy that owns the dealership is a Suzuki nut too! I found out today that he actually raced at the Isle Of Mann TT in 2000.
While they were doing the install they gave me a 1050 to ride...that was cool. So happy I decided to buy my DR and the GT I ordered from them....getting a loaner bike is huge for me!

The sun finally revealed itself today. Don't blink or you'll miss is. For a few brief moments this evening, it was downright spectacular.
