  • almost three years later....

    After getting married, moving twice and selling the 05 and junking the 96; wreches are being turned on this bike again. after doing numberous searches and part calculations I should have this bike running by the end of year.

    Then there is a monkey wrench get throw into the works. If anyone remembers my Bike review of the Suzuki GZ-250 I did hear waaaaay back in the day- that bike got dropped off in my lap pretty much free of charge. So now there are two bikes in this house again. while the 750 is getting its act together, now I got this chrome covered monster to deal with. I hate chrome. (just kidding) but hey I am alive and well, and the 750 is still around.

        • Zombie thread update alert!!
          Almost three years later again and an update of sorts.
          Life took a serious Shizz turn, marriaage is sorta in the toilet, we sold the house we were living in, i cant move into the apt the wife is staying at and she cant stay where i am at due to two dogs. I had to rip this bike apart again for the 4th, 5th hell i cant remember how many times now to move it to another location. AGAIN!!
          While tearing it apart again i screwed some stuff up oin the bike (a oil cooler line to say the least). The frame is sitting out in the elements again due to lake of space undoing all the frame work i put into her to begin with. its temporary i keep telling myself. im not sure how far i will get this time before someelse stupid happens again.
          But I degress, The bike is here sorta, in boxes scattered through out the garage i intially worked on her in the first place. I have no pictures to show right now (unless you want to see a bunch of banana and apple boxes) but she is safe for now.
          Now for me and the bike to rebond again. First off, I usually name my bikes, I cannot remember if i ever did name it and and after watching the Avengers II i was going to initally call the bike "Veronica" then i got hooked on Anime and though hell - perfect place to find a name for this machine. A machine i feel that I have rejected her as much as she has rejected me. after watching some anime, i stumbled on a name for the bike. and I think CP would be pleased with the name: "Satellizer"
          You can go google that on yer own.hehe

          I feel remorseful after so long that thing is not running, that my marriage drove me to almost being a ghost on almost all of my motorcycle forums that i am a member on. for that I humbly apologize. hopefully you will see me and Satellizer both up and running soon
          With much love and Respect

              • Well Quick Update (with alot more to come in the Future!!)
                The Divorce is in the Can. Done, Over with.

                Now I survived, and so did the Bikes, Both the GZ250, and the 1200 DS. They are just not rideable at the moment. The Kat is still in pieces and the GZ needs Fork seals and a new chain and Sprocket.

                But we are here and still kicking

                Glad that shit is over really....
