1983 Suzuki GS1100ED --- "Big Boy"

Tell me if I made a good decision or not.

I bought this camera only for the screen. $19. With this, I have one good working camera and one camera with a broken screen that takes crappy pictures.

But a brand new screen costs $17. With this, I'd only have one camera.

I get a whole camera for the same price as one screen. So... I will still be able to bring you guys some decent pictures.

The problem with the above camera is that it takes pictures but shows up with lines. But at the same time, the screen appears to be working just fine judging from the pictures the seller provided.

EDIT: By the way, the seller above has some really good deals on cameras if you know how to fix them. Replacing a screen is cake.

I have to say I was having a little displacement envy after I left your place today. I still can't get over how powerful that thing feels just sitting on it.
Good luck on monday.

And I have to say that I am envious of the light weightness of the GS450.

Hell man does a cloud follow you?

No raining cloud over my head.

It was just bad luck that happens every once in a while. I was pushing the bike into the garage. Then I had a little trouble getting the bike to go over the little bump from the grass to the drive way. So I pushed really hard, the kickstand came up, and it dropped. Kinda hard to explain. Why didn't I just turn the bike on and ride it inside the garage? I don't really know why I didn't.....

I guess the camera saved my leg from getting a huge bruise.

Man... I dropped my bike and broke my camera in the process. What a fail lol.

*sigh* The lady across the street saw the whole thing and I bet she's laughing her ass off. I know that she hates hearing my bike.

I will let this be a reminder of how heavy the big GS1100E is. To my surprise, I was able to pick it back up easily!

Oh and anti-perspirant no cologne no nothing ESP that AXE ****!!!!!! it is pure hell to anything but a woefully misinformed teenage boy.
No Gain detergent. Nothing that will be a jarring imapct on the sensations of the interviewer.

Unless you are trying to become a stripper then a pricy perfume ( tax write off ) and a little leg will get you tot he second round.

Good stuff Jeep.

Well you should at least know the way.
Leave 60 mins early.
If need be take a clean pressed shirt with you and change in the parking lot.

Mennen anti-perspirant on the pits and perversely enough on the palms when dry will stop the embarrassing handshake.

Hold you hand on the table.

Make eye contact but do not get creepy with it.

And get a good friend to walk you through a mock interview.
I used to laugh at them but if drill can get you to the moon it can help get you a job.

Just 20 or so questions typical of those asked in all interviews, among them the ever asinine "where do you see yourself in five years?"

It will reduce stress and make you more comfortable.

Sweet looking bike tandem aside .... How was the job interview?

That's on Monday. Today, I just had to know where the place is and how to get there so that I won't be lost.

That is what the devil said in the thunderstorm.
DEVIL!!!!!!

So today was a bit more exciting. Woke up at 8 AM and went to check out Firestone in Ballard. Good, I found it. Bad news is that it's a 30 min drive just to get there then it took me 40 mins to get back home because this road was closed. I hope they fix that soon. 20 miles one way 40 miles both ways. So that's about 1 gallon of gas everyday!

Then I had rlong74 over at my place. I instantly recognized the sound coming down the road. His sweet 1981 Suzuki GS450T . Man... I really do miss mine. Anyways, we had a good talk about stuff then I gave him his GSR patches. Lucky him... Got a free red one! But I guess I owe him that for letting me ride his GS450. Felts just like mine except better. The throttle was smooth, clutch is awesome, and those Avon tires are MUCH better than my old crappy Cheng Shin Marquis.





There is a noticeable size difference.



Thanks for coming over Ryan! Always nice to put a face on the forum name.

Now after he left. I went to put my bike in the garage. I dropped my bike on the left side. I heard a crack. I said, "Oh no... There goes my turn signals." Picked it back up but there was no damage except a slightly scratches stator cover. The real damage was done to my camera. The screen broke! The clutch lever hit my right leg which was where the camera was. Oh well.... A replacement screen will cost about $20.


Now the mailman is like my best friend. He brings stuff to me.

Superbike GP mirrors, clutch perch assembly, and right side mirror mount. Thanks sschering!

Remember that my camera screen broke so I can't see what I'm pointing at.







All that is left to do is fix this electrical problem and get some horns.

Bike looks great man. Kudos.

Only USA can view the video. Stupid song .

It's nothing anyways. Just another video slideshow thingy that shows what I've done to the bike so far
