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.

  • 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.

    Hello from Nebraska

    Welcome to the forum. My 1st Suzuki was an 850 as well. Bullet proof bike in spite of it's weight, is a great model for touring. I see your location is posted as central Nebraska. I am located on the western edge of the Omaha metropolitan area and would enjoy meeting up in person sometime...

    what did you wrench on today??

    No wrenching for me today as I have about 8" of snow to remove from the driveway and sidewalks. But as soon as I can get to it, this is what I have to wrench on next. IMG_20230213_165537462 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr IMG_20230213_165733019 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr IMG_20230215_153222817 by...

    Carb choke plungers

    I also used his service and my results are wonderful. The bike now returns to the proper idle speed when I come to a stop. No blipping of the throttle is necessary. I would be a big endorser of his fine service.

    Polaris SH775 Opinions??

    I have the same one that Ron referenced and it is a good one. The one you saw on EBAY does not have enough pictures to tell if it is a genuine SH775.

    I was looking for a winter project.........I found this!

    That's turning out to be a beautiful job. We may have to discuss a trade down the road. I think you would look good on a 19 year newer bike made by some of the best engineers in Germany.:lemo:

    The GSResources 2023 Balance Sheet

    Thanks for the reminder Frank. My 2023 contribution is on it's way via paypal. Time to step up to the plate fellows. We have to keep funding this great site.

    I'll say it as no one else has. That'll buff right out.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Actually Dave, it is not Offutt Air Force Base, it is the SAC aerospace museum right off of I-80 about half way between Omaha and Lincoln Ne.

    I was looking for a winter project.........I found this!

    Good looking pipe Ron. You'll have to do a video of it's sound when you get it running. I've heard they are quite loud. Badass would be a better term. Anxiously waiting to see and maybe ride this beast.

    Got in a nice ride today of 160 miles. Bright sunny skies and 56? IMG_20221128_135422760 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr Not sure what this piece of equipment is but I would not want to be it's target. IMG_20221128_135523265 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr If you could see through the windows on this...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Sorry, no pics but I enjoyed a father/son ride yesterday and today I sent him back to Honolulu. I offered him the choice between the triumph and the bmw and he choose the bmw. Actually I sort of forced him to ride the bmw just to make him aware of the great German engineering...

    Restoration GS1100E Trying to keep it Original Appearance

    From what I have gleaned after reading many, many, many tire threads on this forum, you would be wise to omit the Kenda brand completely.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Rich, thanks for posting the pics of the swap meet. It served as a reminder as to why I avoid those $h!t shows. Aarh.......

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    No riding here today, temps stayed mostly in the mid 20's. Got a real cold spell going on in a large part of the country for the next few days.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    While enjoying record high temps here today, I went out for a ride and found something that instantly took me back to the mid fifties. I shortened my ride after finding this fine piece of machinery due to the 20-30 mph winds. I remember my dad using this same set up only with the next size...

    1100G (GK) running rough, sharp stutter

    Dave, where you live do you have the opportunity to use pure gas? Non ethanol? I would assume if you have this choice, you probably use it.

    Thanks Dave. I'm working on the selfies but as I said, the subject matter is low on the scale...

    Thanks Dave. I'm working on the selfies but as I said, the subject matter is low on the scale. At least on mine. Yeah I had some great weather on this trip. Got in 2,013 miles on the Triumph. But one morning I was leaving Clarksville Tn. heading up to Ind. and the outside temp was 39...

    Help! Carburetor/fuel mixture problem (I think) 1979 GS1000

    You should do NOTHING until you have checked the valve clearance. You say you cleaned the carbs but did you do it properly? Did you dip them for 24 hours in Berrymans carb dip? You need to look up forum member Nessism and read his newbies mistakes before you go much further. A lot needs to...

    My last day in the Ozarks. Quite windy again but 81 degrees so I'll take it. Fall foliage is excellent this time around. ​IMG_20221023_120845271_HDR by Larry Alkire, on Flickr IMG_20221023_120552415 by Larry Alkire, on Flickr ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​
