    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.

I do love my GS! I loved the first 850 G I had in 1991. Sadly I sold it after only a year, regretting that day for decades. Forward a few years...ahem, decades... to 2016 and I was elated to find another 850 G in such good condition.

Here's my 83 850 G after a bath.


 
I love my GS so much more this year than in the past 14 years that I've owned it now that I've got the charging system sorted. Right now the forks, front caliper, and master cylinder are off, apart and cleaned, waiting to be put back together with all new parts and braided brake hose. Also going to do valve adjustment for the first time. It's finally getting the love it deserves.

Best shot of last summer.

My 81' 850GSX. The very first bike I've ever owned and the very first bike I rode on. My dad has had his 80' 850G for about 7 years now and I figured it was time to find one for myself. I've only owned it for about two years now (and paid a measly $1200 for it) but I sure have learned a lot through the maintenance. These bikes are so smooth and effortless... even though they weigh near 600lb. Even my brother is impressed at how fast the 850 accelerates compared to his 2013 900 Vulcan :cool:.

Here's one taken last year. I bought it back in 1992 with only around 13,000 kms (8,000 miles) on it and actually put it in storage for number of years before putting back on the road again in 2001. I don't go through a lot motorcycles but since I bought this I've owned and sold an XT350 Honda, FZ750 Yamaha and a Suzuki 750 EF so yes this one is the keeper. For the most part it's a stock original survivor with a few minor mods and upkeep as needed.

In 2005 I bought this GS1100E for $500 just to have a spare motor for my dragbike.
It was an '82, with some '83 parts.....


13.5 years later I still have her...Now she has an '83 frame, and some '82 parts...
