I don't think they have shop classes like we had growing up, we use to have wood, metal, print, drafting & building maintenance. 

We even had an auto body/ custom painting class at our school .  It was dropped just before I got up there. My older brother took it. I remember him taking in our ‘72 Polaris atx 335 hood, it was supposed to be a custom flame job but looked more like a bunch of bent up pitch forks. Wish I had a picture.

I use to make my own.

Me too in shop class at school. 😂

Gettin way back for me, early ‘70s. My mother giving us and local kids rides around the yard. The old Olympic wasn’t around too long, but the caboose was.  

Spent the weekend in Pittsburg NH. 

Some decent riding finally in upstate NY last weekend. 

My first brand new sled, ‘88 Formula Plus, chaincase was delivered bone dry. As I recall, that quickly became the least of my  concerns with that pile.

The Poo seat is over $600 with tax.  

 

 

 

 

If you’re thinking of selling the original, I’m interested. 
 

Sorry 6.6 not 6.0

6 speeds are famous for the converter clutch burning up, and the debris destroys the rest of the tranny.  The programming tries to lock up the converter at low speeds and in every gear, and allows for a lot of slip.  Good tranny guys re-flash to eliminate it when doing a rebuild.

Still having lots of issues with DOD/AFM lifters failing and taking out the camshaft too. 

My truck has 70k on it, 5.3 and 6 spd.  I'm actually considering changing the converter to a triple disk, cam and lifters as preventative maintenance, and driving it till it rusts away.

That’s one of the first things I noticed with my new’23 gasser 6.0. The torque converter locks right up in second gear when just running around empty. My ‘16 never did that.

My 2018 I put 180,000 miles on it in 3 years. I shit a tranny just over 100k. My dad’s 17 failed about the same. It’s seems like the ones built in the last 5 years have more trans problems than the older ones 

Funny you say that. My brother in law has a ‘17 Sierra 6.0 2500 that is literally a grocery getter for them (he’s in construction and has plenty of trucks). Lost the torque converter in less than 40k miles.

We run our own trucks for work. The gm as of lately shit transmission in about 2 years of use. Including mine. A lot of my co workers went to rams. They have held up better than the chevys. They go through brakes and tires a lot faster vs the chevys 

Luck of the draw with gm transmissions.  My ‘16 gasser that I had for 6.5 years plowed snow, pulled sled trailers and my Jayco Eagle 321 fifth wheel all summer through the Northeast. Never had an issue. 

Sticker on this ‘23 only a tick over $50 grand, bargain IMO.

Now the GOPers have another entertainer to hate. Kid Rock will be the last man standing.   

Hey, we still have our ace in the hole Scott Baio. Take that. 

Finally got a confirmed repair date of Dec 27th for both of my sleds.

Wow!....Sweet I had the same year but GSXR1100. Looks mint...how many miles?

23000.

Maybe should have stated they put 1100 motors in the 750s....I know (knew) died on his bike a kid that did the swap for several local bikes. 

And I don't believe they are the same.

Yes the 1100 frames were reinforced and heavier than the 750. Also the 1100 wheel base was longer making them less nimble.

Nice Bike 

Good friend of mine has a mint '89 GSXR 1100 still, he is the original owner. 

My brother had a black/silver ‘89 1100. I think I rode it more than him. Lol

I Bought the ‘86 used in the spring of my senior year of high school back in ‘87. Beat the piss out of it, bike made a lot of trips to Laconia/bike week. Restored it in the early 2000’s and don’t run it more than a couple times a year now.

Ya, there's never been a bad conservative. 

Well of course there are, once liberalism forced them to stop disciplining there children.

This bike is sooo bad ass. Quick shift, no need to use the clutch going through the gears up& down. 

Damn...That’s a beauty.

Yes, those integrated quick shifters are awesome. Even the aftermarket ones work great. I installed a Healtech one on this   Z900RS, works flawless.

Thanks for being an idiot.

Those cancer rates look quite concerning.  Epoch times for the truth.

 

 

I’m seeing this right in my own circle of friends. 4 cancer diagnosis sense spring of this year. The latest a 27 year old girl, stage 3 rectal cancer. Wtf.
