Braved the rain to ride to the Super Sausage Cafe on the A5 for the Classic Suzuki sunday, I didn't take many photos but Suzuki brought out a few of their bikes that they've restored which was nice to see. The most plentiful classic Suzuki there seemed to be some very nice GT750's but I managed to get not a single pic of one I was there on my not particularly classic GSX600F Lovely

A few months ago, i was 'encouraged' to have a certain person respray my bike panels and tank sprayed in the matching blue, to say i was not too impressed is putting it mildly, anyway, later i had a guy use some compound on it as the shine (that was not really there in the first place) was looking more dull, however, i noticed there was rust coming through above the fuel cap, not below where the keys hit the tank, the rust was meant to be removed before the respray... as we all know! anyway, moving on... but still keeping this in mind.... i hd some running problems the other week, found a spark, but still not running, power on ignition, turned over, but no firing! So, i took the tank off, laid it on one side....(you know what's coming....) i didn't trust the fuel switch, about 4 days later, a good fellow came by (this eve) he bled the carbs on my 600 mk2, he reckoned there was curse word or...poss' water in with the fuel, he said it was ok to put the tank back on......., i gave him the tank as i moved round to attach the pipe back onto the tap.......he remarked....'what have you spilt on your tank' ?

Just petrol............ My luck just gets better....... Definitely, easy to remove the rubbish paint, treat the rust then paint it yourself, take your time and end up with the results you want Ttfn Glenn

Impressive! I went onto the web and read up on these crazy sought after machines, then later in the eve, i found a top 10 of must have bikes on google, guess what was in there..... absolutely amazing history, did this drink the famous 1/4 pint oil as they say they did? it also mentioned that those wanting a genuine one knew exactly what to look for as there were certain 'people' who liked to think they had one and wanted top dollar for the wrong model! (no change there in human behaviour!) But thanks for sharing this, You really need to ride it, if only for a short time, fantastic! Merry Christmas!

After the tank disappointment, I continued to use the bike, then had running problems, so swallowed hard and gave it to a specialist who used to race, and tune bikes etc, so an mot, headstock bolts replaced, new front tyre, carbs balanced and a new proper fuel filter (& £545 later) it ran like a dream, quicker acceleration, fast response, and tore up to it's max' speed a great deal quicker! I thought it was time to get the tank sorted, and by someone competent this time! So a very good friend of mine took on the challenge, I am picking it up end of this week, but really need to let it dry properly, so no riding for a few weeks (weather permitting) he hasn't sent any pics yet as he is waiting to see my face when i collect it, I'll update as soon as i have it!
