Now that I am using Google Photo, I can upload pictures here almost instantly! WHOOO-HOOO! Some of ya'll may remember me...   Well, I let go of Traveller (99 Interstate) about a year ago and just had the Vstrom in the garage for a year. I found this sweetie about a month ago. A '97 (actually a Christmas baby - born in December '96) Tourer that only had 8k on the clock. She is most sweet.  So, I would like to introduce you to GRACE.  Changed her over to synthetic, unshimmed the needle valves (gas mileage was really bad with the shims) and but some new shoes on her. Added armrests for the grandson to hold on to and a luggage rack for the passenger rest.  And the main thing is, put another 1500 miles on her. I love her. Still needs some work to get her back to new, but man, she is sweet.  Planning on Grace being my bike for life now..........we are both happy to have her in her new home. |

Unfortunately I will miss Inzane this year - and it is RIGHT in the town with a good friend of mine that was PO'ed that I didn't see him when I went to Spearfish. But wherever it is held next year, I will be there. John, I got rid of the IS in a moment of panic when I got laid off. It is NOW in a good place and will be gone through and sold back to a good owner. Also, do the pictures show up? Now I am just seeing a black box with an X in it.  |

Interestingly enough, your pictures don't come thru on my computer?
I see Chrisj's pic but yours show up as a big square with a small box in the upper left hand corner of each box??

The pix were there when you first posted. I saw them all before you had any responses. No pix showing - only a symbol that resembles the "do not enter" highway signs denoting you are about to enter the highway from the wrong way. Good to have you back.
