Angle grinder burnouts!

Yesterday was the start of getting the motorcycle in shape for the riding season. Top on the list was replacing the dry-rotted tires with new ones. I briefly tried prying the old tire off, then realized I was going to scratch the hell out of the rim getting a junk tire off. So out came the angle grinder and I made some smoke.

You can’t see it well in the pics, but there is a pry bar keeping the tire up off the rim while I’m cutting. I’m a hack, but not a dangerous hack.

Of course it isn’t a proper burnout until you get down to the steel belts.

New tires were installed using the “zip-ties & swearing” method.

I also bled the brakes. I think the front fluid(left container) might be vintage 1996.

I think I speak for everyone when I say your hair is glorious to behold.

Can’t tell from the pic, what kind of bike is that?

Suzuki GS500e. I picked it up last August for $850.

The glory and wonder that is the goth mullet.
