    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.

Any Chicagoans want to wrench together?

This is my first bike, and I need to do some work on it before the riding season is back in full swing. However, I'm not very experienced with working on a bike and don't have a decent tool set or any power tools. I'm hoping I could find a guy or group of guys that could get together and wrench on our bikes and have some fun.

I need to replace the fork seals (they're leaking slightly) and put new bolts in the exhaust headers (they rattle), plus some basic maintenance work before I am riding a lot in the spring and summer.

I'm more than willing to pick up some beer and pizza (or LifeWater and tofu if you're a healthy hippy ;)). I live downtown (Wicker Park area), and could travel in the city on the bike when the roads are clear. Just let me know if anyone is interested!!
 
OK, so I'm a former Chicagoan (west side, LaGrange/Hinsdale area), but now live in southwest oHIo. Bring it on down and we can get it fixed up. 8-[

I moved to Waukegan last May. Prior to that we were right in your neck of the woods. Its probably not too convenient for either of us. But I can give you my email if you want to PM me. I've been through most of what you're venturing in to.
 
Thanks for the offer drhach. I might PM you some time. Did you know any GSers in the area from before?
 
I'm new to this as well and saw that I am getting a tiny oil leak on my front right shock so those seals will also need to be replaced. I'd love to do it with someone else.

I don't have a garage so I can't host :(
