Title: Back in the saddle, again... Post by gitarzan on 05/08/04 at 12:03:26 ;D It finally arrived. My 1997 LS650. New enough to have parts available, old enough that I won't feel bad modifying it. I already removed the windshield, bags and bib. Next, the Sissy Bar goes. Which brings me to this... I've seen several pics of LS650s with a small bar going across the back end where the sissy bar was. Are those homemade/custom made, factory for certain models, or can they be had over the internet? In the meantime I had a ball riding around, getting the feel for it. It came too late for me to get tags today, Argghhh, so I tooled around some backstreets where I might not be seen by the pistoleros. After 22 years of cage riding, I was still finding myself treating it like it was my old 1973 Yamaha RD350. Believe me, the only things similar are the size and the engine buzz. But that WAS a good buzz. It was better than Prozac, fersure. I generally don't name inanimate objects but I decided to called it Sookie, after the Steppenwolf song, "Sookie Sookie", and the obvious play on the manufacturer's name. Here's a pic (GET A GRIP!) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gitarzan/Sookie.jpg let it hang out baby let it hang out now let it hang out baby got to work it on out sookie, sookie sookie, sookie sookie, sookie soo let it hang out baby drink your turpentine let it hang out baby let it work it on out sookie, sookie sookie, sookie sookie, sookie soo come on let it hang out baby let it hang out now let it hang out baby got to work it on out let it hang out baby [?] hanging out now let it hang out baby got to work it on out let it hang out baby i love you so much you were the only one i want got to, got to work it on out got to, got to, got to work it on out got to, got to work it on out got to, got to work it yeah let it hang out baby let it hang out james let it hang out baby let it, let it, let it, hang, yeah sookie, sookie sookie, sookie sookie, sookie soo |

Title: Re: Back in the saddle, again... Post by gitarzan on 05/08/04 at 20:12:10 Sure thing! I spent three hours seaching for one on the 'net. :P I wonder if I might have to buy a used larger one and saw it off. Whatever I do, I'll certainly post report! |
