I know what it's like to need help on the side of the road so I stop whenever possible.

@@FrankBonessa it's cold in Texas. I hear Houston got some snow. My bike is sadly waiting for me in the garage. I can go out in 30+ degree weather but I don't want to. Engine temp is a concern. I was running between 170-180 with an ambient temperature of 45. Lower than that and I think that my engine will also start to produce mayonnaise.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist Funny, 3 years ago, I bought a new Z900 in February here and rode it home. It was 28 degrees F. Probably the coldest I've ridden in. Once you figure in the wind chill and you're in the single digits. The Z runs rather warm, so no mayo. Good term. The 1000 gt runs even hotter. The fan kicks on at 221 F. The Z around 213. Should have them both flashed so in summer the fan kicks on earlier. Did a little research and for every 1 gallon of fuel burned, 1 gallon of moisture is created in the combustion process and it takes some real heat to burn it off.

Yikes! 28F with windmill is a definite NO! Mine is tuned. Now, in the Summer, the fan kicks on even when it's off!!! (Joke - gets that hot here in Texas 😂)

@@FullThrottleExistentialist That's why it's one of the best places to ride in winter. Idaho is over rated for riding. Limited amount of paved state or fed. highways to ride on. Freezin' or fryin' Even dirt roads ain't that great. Cali. may suck population wise, but for sure a rider's paradise. If you ever noticed, back a while ago all motorcycle publications were centered in SOCAL. The song "It never rains in Southern California" wasn't too far off. Excellent.

@@FrankBonessa Cali did have some phenomenal roads. I agree. San Diego had the nicest continuous weather I have ever experienced. It's unreal, actually. I believe I spent two months in San Diego county and I experienced just about the same weather throughout that time!

That's fair. I'm sure you can find a few of my videos that can attest to the legitimacy of my title 😂 Some roads are for carving and others are for cruising. I've got a few ideas for some sporty videos in the near future.

It’s great to hear that you appreciate the route, especially the tunnels! Big Bend truly does have some unique landscape features.

I'm possible! Androider. Kidding... I'll see what I can do.

Texas is full of great places to ride and I'm happy to show them to you! I have another video on deck but I need time to edit. Luckily, no such luck today as the weather reached a balmy 55F. I had to ride.

Thank you for the kind comment. I had to take a weather related break of over three days... THREE DAYS!!! I, finally, got to ride today. Boy was I smiling! I hope you get to ride again soon.

Music choice can make or break a video. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

My phone is mounted to a damper on my Quadlock mount. It may look shaky but it is secure.

It's comments like this that fuel my videos. Thank you!

Thank you. Appreciation does help fuel me to produce content.

Thank you. Let me know how it works out for you.

The roads around Palomar Mountain are phenomenal.

One can spend a substantial part of one's life exploring Texas and that's just fine with me.

You made my day! Thank you for noticing the production. I'm still working on my style, delivery, composition, etc. California is gorgeous. The roads are magnificent. Elevation change, twists, turns, and endless miles of it.

I didn't know I would enjoy the Big Bear area as much as I did. I wish I had time to ride the loop in both directions. During my visit a cycling event was being held around the lake. I had to thread the needle around traffic.

Thank you! I'm trying to find my style. I have been disappointed with my GoPro for a while. Recently, I acquired a second 360 camera. So far, it provides the most interesting angles. Though I do like the chin mounted GoPro sometimes still.

I feel your pain. There was a time I was without my bike for almost 6 months. It was after an interaction with a deer. Back order parts made it so that I couldn't get my bike back for a while. It was torture! Thank you for watching my videos and sharing your thoughts. I have quite a bit of footage from my last few trips that I am finally processing. Stay tuned!

It was a cold start. Only vapor. Thanks!

I've replaced this exhaust with a full Lextek system. The bags go into the brackets on the rear of the bike. They are off in this video but I did use them with the Arrow silencer for a while without issues.

Thank you! 😃

Ssssshhhh...

Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

I have a Lextek full system now.

Check out my IG. The pictures are there.

And thanks for watching!

It's a gorgeous color. And, likewise!

That sounds like an amazing trip! Yes, the bike transforms when tuned. I get lots of compliments also. Most people believe it is a sport bike. But, when the bags are on, they are impressed with it being a tourer. Next time I load it for an excursion I'll do a video.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist Sounds excellent.

Where will your next adventure take you?

@@FullThrottleExistentialist My laptop is freaking out. Maybe fly into Long Beach Cal. and rent an FJ1300. Or maybe Texas. In the 20's here for a while. Anywhere it's warm. Idaho sucks for riding.

I wouldn't recommend a trip to SoCal at this point. I am having a difficult time deciding my next destination. Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and everything up to and including the Tail of the Dragon and regional epic rides... But I digress, my most immediate trip will be a return to Big Bend, Texas. For which I am having the WORST time editing the footage from the Thanksgiving trip! I need someone else to cut it because the landscape is so beautiful I don't mind watching it for a while.

No meow on this bike 😂

Thank you!

You know your roads! The GT is my favorite bike of all time. It isn't going anywhere but it does get a break from time to time ;-)

I remember the break-in oil on my GT having a significant amount of metal in it. So did the second. Every oil change after that, aside from the oil being slightly darker, it has been metal free. Is that because of proper break-in? Perhaps. This bike has seen 7-8k RPM. I just don't want to start bouncing it off the limiter just yet ;-) The bike is a load of fun. Coming from a liter bike I thought that I would want for more power but I don't. Its fun enough and the twin provide so much usable power even when limited at 4,500 RPM... I can't wait to get the rest of the range. What I have experienced of it's power band is encouraging.

I absolutely love my GSX-S1000GT+. LOVE. I can't get enough. It is a sport bike if you want it to be. A touring bike if not. Or both at the same time. With a tune and full exhaust it is a beast! Do you have a channel or IG? Where have you toured through?

The ZOOM H1 Essentials was wrapped in a rag and stuffed under the passenger seat.

Thanks for watching and the compliment. 😅

This road is known as FM51. It is between Granbury and Glen Rose in Hood County.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist thx!

I thought the road looked familiar. I live North of Denton Texas but try to get out and around Glenn Rose when I can. I too have a 2024 Suzuki gsxs 1000 gt, I really like my bike. It's a great bike for the twisties. I'm an old sport bike rider so this bike fits me great, too old to lean over too much...lol. Do you notice the right ankle gets relatively warm on hot days? I had to go to high top shoes to stop this. Have fun brother may see ya on the roads someday.

@triprack I've been up your way once or twice. I have done the loop around Lake Ray Roberts and thoroughly enjoyed it. FM 455, if I remember correctly. My right ankle would get cooked on my stock set up. After installing the full exhaust it still get warm but not as bad as before. Hit me up on here or better if you catch me on IG: @GenXS1000GT

Gracias!

Thank you. It was.

Thank you! I'll bring my ZOOM recorder along next time.

Damn rain! I hope you've had a chance to ride since. Thanks for the compliment and subscribing.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

I absolutely love listening to the engine through the Lextek full exhaust!

@@FullThrottleExistentialist I'm sure it pulls hard with full exhaust. From the factory, mine's pretty well restricted.

@@FrankBonessa It sure does!

I'm in the Vista area. Riding in San Diego, Palomar, Borrego, and outside of LA.

It is the +. The bags aren't installed but you can see that their brackets are. Enjoy!

I only had the slip on Arrow silencer. I switched to a full Lextek exhaust instead. It's not as loud as the M4, I think, and it doesn't melt the bags.

@@FullThrottleExistentialistdidn’t have to get a tune after installing the lextek

@@stevensoldano2763 Supposedly, no tune is required. However, to truly get full potential, a tune is highly recommended. Aside from the power improvement, the throttle response improvement is truly what made a difference.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist so tune isn’t 100% necessary unless u want the full top speed of the bike. So I can just change exhaust the bike will still be super fast

I don't know about being "super fast" but I know that a tune isn't required but it is highly recommended.

Corners beautifully. I switched to a 55 profile rear tire and she drops in even quicker.

facebook.com/groups/suzuki.gt.owners/ You have to go through Paul Hutchingson. He developed the exhaust. Works for Lextek.

Tuned.

Next time!

In Texas?

@@valebliz yes.

Fjr is an old man's bike. Heavy and ugly.

I'll consider that if I'm in the market in the future. Thank you.
