    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Observations from my GS550 fork rebuild

    Exactly Pendulum. I essentially did the same thing except I had someone hold a screwdriver through one of those fender mounting holes while I broke the Allen free. I had already struck the Allen a few times to shock it free then compressed the forks.

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    I'm hoping it will all go back to normal soon. Thanks for your thoughts. I thought about the possibility of Gmax wanting the old helmet for research but never knew about companies sending new ones in return. I did contact them yesterday to give them praise for a well-built helmet. We'll see...

    What kind of MPG should i be getting? What are you getting?

    My bike was consistently in the 44-47 range, never below 5k rpm's unless in my neighborhood.

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    I know I should lawyer up right now but want to see what they do first. I won't sign off on anything if they screw me at which point I will lawyer up. I don't think there is any way for them to wiggle out of this one. Damage, witness statements, his ticket by the homicide investigator should...

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    Thanks. I told their insurance that I hurt a little physically and more so mentally. They know I expect to be able to replace my bike with a newer equivalent cost because it's not like they can just order replacement parts and make it new again. Also, I told them I expect some pain and...

    I will go after him if the insurance company fails to step up. I'm only looking for fair amounts though.

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    I am about to sit down and review my coverage, both for the truck and bike. I know it's optional for the bike, but I have at least liability and uninsured motorist coverage. It's always a confusing mess in my opinion. My insurance company said they'd help with getting what I deserve from...

    Thanks Andy. I read your story, which were saved as pdf's, on a car ride from NY to Florida as a passenger. It gave me a reality check and raised my awareness once I got back. I'm sorry you had to endure so much but glad to know you're still here and back on the road. I have quick reactions...

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    Thanks for your concern. The helmet held up well thankfully. I think structurally it's shot now though. I'll get a new one before riding, along with new shoulder armor for the jacket. I will probably go in for a check-up tomorrow but feel fine, just tired and feeling a bit lost. No, I...

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    Thanks. I drove back today to look for the missing piece of my wheel. It was so close from where I turned onto the roadway. Even at full throttle I wouldn't have been at 45 mph. I simply wasn't prepared for someone to try and kill me so soon into the ride. I intend to write to Gmax. They...

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    The right side cheek pad of the helmet is soaked in blood. The laceration already looks good and the 3/4-inch scar will probably be minimal. I am happy with the protection of this particular helmet as have others who reviewed it after landing on their head. The jacket did good too. I...

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    Thanks everyone. I will just sulk for some time over the loss of the bike, which does hurt most. A lot of the pride in owning the GS came from being a part of this forum, with so many wonderful people that help others. Even if another bike ends up in the stable, I will continue to use the...

    Bike wrecked by a left turner

    I had just left my neighborhood and was heading south on a 6-lane road (3 each way) separated by a median. I was just getting to the speed limit and was in the right lane. There was a truck in the left turn lane (median cut-out) facing north. I can't believe it still but he started turning...
