    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Last week I was at a nieces yard party and while walking arround the yard noticed a cycle just standing upright in a combination of tall grass and leaves and vines. It reminded me of the time I found a Moto-Guzzi under a scrap pile at the scrap yard and dragged it home and revived it and rode it for six years.(I,m 60 years old) So I stared at this poor Suzuki that had now become home to chipmunks and creepy crawlers and decided I would look at all the important parts and see if they were all there. Sure enough everything was there and stock, never been touched. I engaged the owner about why it had become a cast away. He said he bought it for his wife and after her argument that it was too big for her an argument ensued and he parked it at the edge of the woods and there it sat for years never moved again. That was all I had to hear so I ask what would he take for it. He almost sais FREE but said he would take $50 dollars. I handed him the money. I had no way to haul it home about 40 miles so I said I would be back... I did and I got it running in one day. Didn,t look good but it ran. Now its runs mint and is actually unbelievable.
 
It sat for years and you got it running in one day? WOW! That's great! Good score, BTW.:)
 
Come on! Stop holding out on us! We NEED pics! :) Good work on scoring a find like that, and getting it running in such a short time.
 
Photos??? Great to hear about another GS brought back from the brink!:)
