That is pretty awesome.

Mid Ohio 2022 Barrel Racing 1

Glad to see they've evolved - I can appreciate the position of purists who love a concourse restoration - I love original bikes and have restored a few. But it was militant back in the day and that put me off.

Am I remembering correctly that way back in the day the VJMC actively shunned anything modified? It's one of the reasons DTT was launched - there wasn't much of a home for those of us willing and eager to take a grinder to a stock survivor CB550 or XS650 etc.

I'll be there with bells on. Trucking down with the DRZ in the bed and will be hanging out at the swap meet spots :). My first Mid Ohio!

Just whatever you do, don't use KREEM. Are they bankrupt yet or do they still sell that crap?

Ordered a couple of things for the DRZ - really enjoying it exploring up around the cabin so I'm investing a bit more to make it more of an adventure bike. Adventure Spec Mini Fairing which is kind of interesting. Nylon brackets with a steel or aluminum plate to hold various things. Comes...

I like the dressed up look, but have stripped mine back to stock config for day to day riding.

Where in Canada will we see this rolling around?

Needs an R90X big brake kit too :)

This is what I did. Local college offered a weekend MIG welding intro that I took some time back. I might do another one this fall - it was 9 years ago and I could use a refresher. I have a Lincoln 180 that I'd like to use more often and actually understand a bit more about what I'm doing...

Hard to imagine 4 valves whizzing away at some insane RPM in that space.

I had the F800ST and an R1200ST and agree - I'm more a fan of the classics but primarily because of the electronics. The R1200ST had a faulty fuel sensor in the tank that was going to cost $1000 to replace, and the fuel pump went on it twice, thankfully with a recall that covered the $1200...

Welcome Mauro! Can't wait to see the collection, even if you don't like BMW GSs (I'm not a fan of the new ones but would have an R80GS any day of the week).
