Got my 79 Suzuki GS550 back in the day - still have it, needs a little work, sprucing up. I used to run it year round (except when there was snow on the road) when both the bike and I were younger. I decided on that bike b/c it was the largest displacement I could find that had a 6 speed gearbox - and kick start as backup to battery. IMHO it's an underrated bike. ... View more

"Back in the day" my brother bought an old CJ2A for $100. No top, doors, windshield, muffler, etc. We drove it around the fields & woods and had a ball. Definitely not street legal or road licensed, but it was great, real "off road" fun. Actually, we never really ran it "on road". Then came college, etc etc. He sold it back in 1980 for $400 - wish we still had it so I could restore it. Now THAT was a Jeep! ... View more

Beware of car wash operations that wash your undercarriage - Many facilities "recycle" the wash water. I asked about this and one car wash owner said the they "filter" out the salt, which is basically BS, unless they have an expensive reverse osmosis (RO) system, which is highly unlikely. I know this b/c water quality/chemistry issues are what I do for my "day job" ( RO is used to desalinate sea water and is expensive). So - a car wash facility may just be spraying salt water into every crevice of your car. Just do it yourself with non-salty water when the temps allow. ... View more

I use those elastic cords with the ball on the end (the kind you can get at car shows that are used for securing canvas to the portable awning frames aka "bungee cord tarp tie down").    ... View more

Great bikes - so, now I feel pretty good about my "vintage" 79 Suzuki GS550 (that I bought in 80 - guess I'm vintage too). Only problem is trying to find a replacement gas tank. Anyone out ther that can help? The only ones I found are rusted and worse than mine.   Thanks! ... View more
