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.

  • 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.

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    I did the axle rotation on mine it was either great for the tight stuff or if you roated it the other way it was better for sweepers. The drop in cams for the ZRX that most of the guys used when I had my ZRX1200 are either the Muzzys or the Kawasaki ZZR1200 cams. I don't recall that many folks...

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    he did have at least 50 lbs on me but he also had a motor that was in the 150hp range vs my 130 hp . the 20 extra hp should offset the 50 lbs rider diffence no? That GS in the video is the same GS I owned for 18 years. I built the motor the first time and star racing freshened it up before...

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    I have always had a fair launch and I did get out in front but the MPH at the end of the track was higher on the ZRX on all trhee races. That is the test of HP. On the long version of that video there is the second of the "two out of three" race. It was closer as luke had a personal best of...

    Here are the videos. The first video is the pre race, It stopped loading for some reason just as the race begins. The second video is the race but the quality is a litlle worse. We were up in Maine at an 1/8th mile track. I show up with my touring set up and set the bike up for the race. Listen...

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    My best run on the ZRX was a 6.98 @103 with my stock ZRX in the 1/8th . I never ran my 1150 in the 1/8th when it was stock , but after all the motor work I ran a 6.84 @ 111 on the 1150.

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    Do not under estimate the ZRX and its drag strip potential. I ran my ZRX against another GSR members GS1150E in 2004 . His 1150E was far from stock. It was 1229CC had cams, 38 mikuni flat slides, cam motion g-2 cams , mild head porting, and over sized valves. Dyna coils and ignition and a Vance...

    Maine to Florida and back, end of April, beginning of May

    8 to 10 day trip? Most likely you wont make two 800 mile days with four people, and that will put you at the three day each way mark . Now you only have 2 to four days down there, and chances are you will be exhausted your first day. I say trailer down take turns driving,and get there in one...

    Oregon Coast to Maine in June of '09

    If you want to make good time and get to Maine early, adjust your riding schedule so you are on the road way before 5AM. The lack of traffic in the early am hours helps you get ahead of schedule, When the sun rises and you are already on the road you get a boost of adrenaline that will carry you...
