    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.

Bicycling from CA. to MI. to pick up my 1982' GS450T then drive it back to CA.

This journey is mainly about 'breaking the boredom' ,meeting new people and enjoying being on the road again. I need adventure,being robbed in Nevada was no picnic., but I got through that. I'll post pictures of the bicycle I began the trip with and the GS450T & trailer with the help of member 'redman' before I leave soon.

Look forward to the pictures. Have you planned you route west yet? If I'm in town, you've got a place for the night here in far far NorCal.

Thanks
Because of pulling the trailer with the 450 and how strange that may look to some officers, etc.. I plan to stick to I80 the whole way and exit from there when needed.
 
With the exception being the trailer is a folding Harbor Freight 4x8.
 
I believe he's aware of most of the pitfalls involved in towing the bike and trailer behind that 450.

I tried to make the hitch as rigid as I could in order to minimize any possible sway. The only additional thing I would suggest he do that I haven't mentioned thus far is that he considers lying the CB125 on it's side drained of all possible fluids. That would reduce CG and possible swaying effects.

I will see how I can do that Dale, thank you
 
Mr Bill gramna2 sent some pics for me to post.
I will let him provide the commentary.

Ive been following this thread for awhile but after actually seeing pics of the trailer and bikes, Ive gotta say that this doesn't look like a really safe idea. I mean I give kudos for you doing all this, but I really wish you the best of luck.
 
The bike runs good after installing the carbs.
The charging rate is 17 volts :rolleyes: Does anyone have a spare reg/rectifier you can sell to me locally here in this part of Michigan ?
