This evening, Mr. N brought me a gift\u2014a magazine. He told me to wash my hands before reading it, and he also brought me cocoa with a straw.

\nBy the way, the gifts are always the kind with a straw. \u2605
\nNow, Road Rider had a feature on this a few years back. More than ten years ago, I think\u2026
\nTime flies\u2026
\nThis year my GS got running again, and I’m grinning from ear to ear.
\nThere are some real enthusiasts out there\u2014I’m amazed there are so many GS1000S owners.
\nReally\u2026
\nI’m working on my own projects too, but
\nif I don’t keep it in check, I’ll end up not riding it again, which would be bad.
\nI’ve been tinkering away thinking, “I want to do this with my GS,” but taste is always changing, so
\nit’s a problem. I’ll try not to get too obsessed.
\nOld bikes were well thought out, and today’s racers are amazing too, but\u2014
\nthe old ones are cool. How light can you make it? That’s a given.
\nI’m amazed by the technology of making things light yet strong. \u2605
\nYou drill holes (barrel rolling\u2014making round holes and raising ribs with male and female dies) and raise ribs to add strength.
\nNowadays you take thick material and machine it aggressively (that looks cool too \u2605).
\nThere was a time when I got hooked on barrel rolling and was drilling holes in everything, having a blast.
\nThat’s where the stabilizer came from.
\nThis is the “silver Campagnolo.” Silver Campagnolo has a more subdued feel than gold.
\nAnd having different front and rear wheels is proof of being an enthusiast\u2026
\nSometimes front and rear Campagnolo isn’t bad either~ (Note: mine is front Dymag, rear Campagnolo, you know)
\nTwo-valve, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
