    Zero GSX in my RF.... unless you count the GSX-R-esque engine Suzuki put in. Still a fun old dinosaur to spend an afternoon on.

        Ugh: My mint 1250 Bandit is hurting. Riding into work today, there's lots of deer in our area so I hug the centerline and keep it to 50-55KPH but it wasn't enough. A doe jumped out of the ditch and right into my path, I grabbed brake big time and steered into the other lane so I didn't run over her (and go down myself). She clipped the front, right side of me and broke everything she could. Headlight, front fender, upper fairing, side fairing, she glanced off my knee too but fortunately it isn't hurt. Really not worth fixing it unfortunately as it's only a $3500 bike totally mint and it would cost lots to repair it. 60,000km with no damage whatsoever until this. Beer time.

          That does stink but obviously could have been so much worse
          A naked Bandit would be fun.

            minor damage well worth fixing imo. Thinking of selling?

              Nah: I'm going to weld up the cracks from the back as well as I can without affecting the paint. Might try to find a better headlight though.

                    First blizzard of the winter headed my way should be here tomorrow so I went for what is possibly the last ride of the year. Added Seafoam to tank then topped it off with fuel ready for winter storage if need be.

                        we also witnessed a bald eagle snacking on the remains of an armadillo. Couldn't get a pic of that.

                        Then we stopped at a small stream running under the highway with chystal clear water running under it so clear we could see
                        a whole school of minnows. For some strange reason the pic of the creek didn't work. I'll try again

                          There!!! Finally. That water was just begging for me take a big drink of it. Probably would have been ok but was just told about the town of Piedmont having tested positive for ecoli the previous day.
                          I would think the creek water was probably good.

                            I just got back from a small ride on the famous hwy 7 from Harrison to Jasper prior to sunset (this is Arkansas) and learned a good lesson about riding with proper gear.

                            My jacket got some blood splatter on the white, of course, but the face shield took a big hit right between my eyes. It was as though someone sling shot a tomato and scored big time.IMG_20220918_191557602 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr

                                Seems like one of the best days of this summer was yesterday, three days before autumn.

                                Both the 11yo and 8yo grandkids and my wife (grandma) all wanted to go for ride with our son (Justin Redmanson) and me (grandpa). But grandma didnt want to go too far, and stay off certain roads. So we figured out the logistics to make that all happen.

                                Driveway pic (no roadside pic).....

                                Justin, Tiger1050, with one kid.
                                Grandpa, RT with other kid (switch after stopping for ice cream) (Ice Cream being another grandma request/requirement.)
                                Grandma, Shadow500.

                                Recent weeks my wife (grandma) has been wanting to get back on the bike, has been 3+ years, so we had a couple practice sessions. (need some more).

                                On an other note: Just received replacement stator & R/R (are other postings about that story), so should have GK back on road before too long.
