Impulse buy. Such a cool bike.

This is the bike I built from almost dead. 2nd ride in I'm kinda in love. Light, fast, handles wicked good even with a crap front tire. Love it.

Good times.

Unless you are retired and can ride out your back door into this. neener neener ha ha ha

Unbelievable tone. I'm just stunned. I've been LOVING SoundShed Guitar, NAM, VST, Backing tracks, NAM browsing... it's amazing. I also have liked "Air-Windows" free plugins but they are very confusing to use efficiently because of their lack of GUI, Well Air-G is a GUI for AirWindows and WOW!!!. I've been inspired to play out of my mind for hours because of the ridiculously great tone I am getting. Last night I was tone crafting and found that using AirWindows EQ peddle vis Air-G interface is fantastic. I was running it in front of the amp as an EQ for my input signal (guitar) and was working well. Then I decided to drag it to the end of the chain before the final reverb and WOW, i can shape my tone perfectly. I have tones better than I imagined, so perfect. Many good NAM captures with this setup are so dynamic. If I play soft it gets cleaner and smoother, dig in and it has bit, hammer it and it's full blown Marshall or whatever you have EQ'ed for for. I'm blown away and have been playing over my head for several hours sessions. Then add the Air-G Distrortion and OMG, pretty my any tone is avalible from slightly pushed to EVH. Works fantastic on both clean and driven amps. Is not over the top but for me near perfect. Using the Push, Drive and Mix knobs you can get about anything. Then use the EQ shown above to contour it to your liking / guitar. WOW.

Parked at the ACE hardware between to 80K rigs and was laughing to myself that my truck cost about as much as a brake job on those.

I stole the front fender off my DRZ ha ha ha. Wanted to see it with the eBay headlight. Got the chain and some other bits today. Waiting on the ECU and CS sprocket.

Saved from the dump and coming along quite nicely. This round it got a nice eBay rear wheel and finished up the hydro clutch install. Works like butter. Headlight (I'm making this an off road bike) should be here today. Front fender should arrive soon. Other stuff coming. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Under all that neglect is a nice motorcycle waiting to be ridden again. Lucky I'm retired, love this stuff and have a lot of hours to kill.

Lucky I'm retired ha ha ha I actually love this process. I will save her. Buddy gave it to me. Ignition parts on the way. New plastic and seat. Probably going to need lower end bearings but one thing at a time. Turns over, looks OK inside. Will get it fired then address the motor.

I upgraded my suspension, toss on a real knobby, WOW... way better. Tracks so much nicer in the rough and sand washes.

Bought this high end USA Ibanez Saber in the late 80's. Just got it back all from my luthier friend who did a neck off fret job and setup. WOW. Played it for three hours straight through my NAM plugin (SoundsShed Guitar) and just can't get enough of it. NAM 2 and a high end guitar is freaking amazing.

I love smashing out 20 some miles in the morning. Makes me feel alive.

WOW. The tones I'm getting are some of the best ever. Loving it. Very tubey spanky clean, pushed, roaring gain... it's all in there. So good and endless. for a toneshaper like me this is heaven.

Saber Pro-540s (USA TOTL model) Bought this in the 80's, played live with it. Recorded an album with it. Had to abandon it for travel but a friend held it for me. He just went through it and I got it back better than ever. USA made TOTL Mahogany body, USA stacked humbucker "single coils" Hipshot stop trem, micro switch pickup for any combo. Very cool axe. So happy it's home.

So fun. Blasted the Oregon BDR to Mt Hood then our own route home. Great times and already looking forward to the next one. Love me some ADV as I get older. We still haul like we are racing Dakar but it is a lot more mellow than the lifetime off semi extreme off road I've done all my life. Enjoying the process.

Atlanta Idaho is amazing.

Teams of us clearing hundreds of trees. Good times.

Such a useful tool.
