But I moved, stopped getting the news/magazine, and never got around to writing to the guy who runs it to reup. I think I still have my old memeber number somewhere.

I realized that when reading the "Thumper News" last night.

I've toyed with joining FSSNOC a few times over the years. We've got 3 thumpers in the family: 1971 Honda CL100 dual sport, 1983 Yamaha XT550 dual sport, and 1998 Suzuki Savage. Never seem to get around to filling in the form and mailing it in.

As for Savage owner's clubs, it's been tried several times at the Heise forum. Nothing ever came of it. Kind of a shame, the Savage is a pretty good bike, much better than many of the other models that have owners clubs.

Bear Tooth Kawasaki hosts a forum for ALL Kawi bikes. The owners group is free to join, forums are very similar to this one, and members get 15% off of ANY OEM parts/accessories, or in house merchandise (shirts, hats, stickers, etc). Maybe a Suzuki shop could be enticed into doing the same for us Savage owners. I think FSSNOC members get discounts at select dealerships and retailers as well. Would be worth investigating.

every time i leave a bar Grin

Pals,

Me being a non-native English speaker and not residing in the US, I do not understand this joke....

therefore, I am not clapping for this for the moment, would any of you kind riders take a few minutes and explain the logic (or lack thereof) behind that hilarious statement?

Thanks,

RW

One choke is like a slide carb, the other a C.V. Clive W
