Updates on
my site
September 2022
Here follows the list of the new or updated stuff on my site. There's always some gaps to fill, brochures ti find, stories to tell. It's a never ending job. I hope you appreciate my efforts.
I'm still here... It's been over 20 years now since I started to fill my site with all kinds of Suzuki motorcycle stuff: specifications, photos, brochures, magazine ads... There wasn't any similar sites on the Internet back then – what I know of. I believe I'm still one of the largest, if not the largest size on the Internet including ALL Suzuki motorcycle models. I hope some people think it's also the best. I am trying...

The fact that it was over 20 years ago when I put this website together also means that I made the layout suitable for desktop computers, not for iPads or smartphones (there wasn't any back then). Also, an average computer display was 15 inches large, 27 inches or more is not uncommon these days. The images I uploaded back them (using a 56K dial-up modem) were often very small. ”Even larger picture” back then could be 560 pixels wide. Now it's usually 2000 pixels or moer. Back then, images needed to be small, otherwise people didn't manage to show them on their small screens, with slow computers and slow Internet connections.
 
I have now been tweaking the layout on the pages on my site, trying to make the text a bit larger and easier to read om modern devices. I have also replaced many of the photos and scans to better and larger versions. This tedious work have taken me many weeks, and I'm still not finished.
While browsing all the pages on my site, one by one, I seen what's missing and what pages have not been working properly. I have corrected all the errors I've noticed and tried to fill the gaps with new information and pictures.

Please notify me if you find any errors, either technical or if there's uncorrect information about the motorcycle models. Any problems at all. I do read all the messages although I sometimes react slowly. It is an enormous task I've committed to, telling everything about every Suzuki motorcycle ever made. I will probably never get there, but I'm working on it...
Please keep on sending brochure scans to me! Don't make the scans too small. The bigger, the better! Here's the e-mail address:


September 2 New page: Shogun 125 brochures ('05 Malaysia, '12 Indonesia). I have also gathered more material that plan to publish later. I'm working much slower than usual, I broke my leg a couple of weeks ago and than makes it diffult for me to move around and sit by my computer. I need a few more weeks before my leg is fully functional.
September 4 New page: Axelo 125 brochures ('14 and '15 Vietnam). I have been gathering information and creating a model history page for the Suzuki Shogun and Axelo pages. It's a slow process, partly because of my temporary handicap (broken leg) and partly because of the language barrier – and the fact that in some Asian countries they are not that particular of telling what year the bikes were made. I believe the motorcycles could be sold during long periods of time, therefore it was not neccessary to print the model year of the bike in the brochure. It sometimes takes me long time and lots of googling before I figure out what model came first; to find a picture of it, and so on.
