I am the new member  - Introduction
07/22/20 at 11:37:58
 
Hi there,

I am new here and would like to take the opportunity introducing me to the community. I unfortunately could not find the right section "Introduction for Newbies".
I am almost 60 years old and from Germany. I join this board since biker boards in Germany are not really helpful.

I have been sitting for 44 years on countless different  bikes. Currently in the portfolio is a Yamaha 1300 (for spring season), a tuned Triumph Rocked (for summer season) and I am currently restoring an LS 650 (1996) from the scratch. Goal is a Bobber.
When I have nothing to restore or no other project, I make Wasteland Leather Cloth, some may call it als Mad Max Cloth.As you may already guess from my profile (yes there is also a beard) I visit on weekend motorcycle meetings with my small tent. I like metal musik, on weekend some beers and good food (hobby-cook).
I finance my hobbies with my professional job, project engineer for commercial vehicle brakes.

Thats a brief introduction about me and I ask for your patience with my German English

Cheers
Urs

Were you feeling a bit short on power so you added the headers to the 2300 engine ?
Has the engine been touched internally ?   😏

It does make a nice run-about.   😎🏍

Suzuki has built the Savage/S-40 for 33 years , I've only had one for about 1/2 that time .   Its a fun machine that's full of surprises .  

Keep it idled up past 1000 rpm so the oil gets to the cam bearings good , and all will be well for a Long , LOng , LONg , LONG , time .

Mines is coming up on 60,000 miles and has never ran better.

And letting it idle, leaning on the sidestand deprives the high end of the cam of oil.. and it's not good.

Hay Norm , I know of a feller in Texas who has over 200,000 miles on his Savage !   I was in El paso at Ft Bliss for 2 year , the weather is so biker friendly I wanted to stay ... but I never learned Spanish and the wife wanted to return to Tn.

and

There is BadWolf in Florida who is way up there too.   My bike is still a Baby compared to those two !
..................................

interesting character    ?
So to be referred to as "interesting character" by an "interesting character"  is most interesting !   Grin

Thanks ,,, I guess ?   Huh

Willkomen, I am Swedisch.. 64+ and got me att LS650 20000!
I started as biker on a Zundapp KS 125, then to Suzuki 500 T twostroker, and then on to Honda four in a row fourstrokers.
In any case I was keen to get my a bike, I could always buy my a HD or Goldwing,, any bike. But those was not for me, I wanted somthing simplier/custom/cruiser kind of bike.
Its this, this bike is one of a kind, I love it, my friend ride other sort, I dont care!
What ever.. Im a Savage rider, and this forum is best.. for people that ride LS650/S40!

Zepp,
On of my bikes in the distant past was a Zundapp 201S. What a machine! I loved that bike, however, it wouldn't be very good here in the USA. British country lanes were more its style.
