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.

As many here have witnessed, it gets ridden regularly and ridden very hard. :twistedevil:
Mismatched rain gear on the Dragon. I think this was 2005 or 2006.
Not sure when I took this behind our old office building. Weird air seat and floppy tail bag don't really do the looks any favors...
2007, Galena/Fennimore GS rally. This is in Iowa looking over into Wisconsin. Probably the cleanest and best-looking it's ever gonna be.
Mileage is somewhere around 130,000 right now (original speedo stopped working at around 125,000). Yes, the engine has been replaced, but not because it wore out. Long stupid story...
The GS850G is my "forever" bike. Other bikes come and go, but I'm keeping this one as long as I possibly can.
Many, MANY happy memories are tied up with this bike, and my GS and the GS Resources forum were my path to meeting my closest friends and the finest people I know.
I purchased my 1983 GS850G in the early spring of 1997; there was melting snow everywhere when I rode it home.

Great "Action" shot!

Neither do the Vetter accessories on mine. In both cases function wins over fashion I'm sure. Thanks for the glimpse of what mine could look like with the stock headlight and blinkers. I really like your blue color scheme too.:encouragement:
This sounds familiar as well. I've met five or six other members of this forum but some friendships still remain purely electronic. Someday we'll be able to put a face to the font!
25 - 30 of the nicest people on the planet will be there to greet you.
I remember you were planning to come last year but something got in your way
Wasn't Roger the kid that came out to Bedford with his bike in a bunch of crates? Bad starter and such? Or maybe it was another member that ended up moving out west...
I did have a bike in crates but never took it to Bedford. Although if anyone wants to call me "kid" thats totally fine. LOL
in this picture I was returning from a Western states rally dragging a trailer with a 16 valve 1100 engine and a few other things.
then there is my 1980 1100 L which I bought in 2002 with 1024 miles on it. Something over 38000 now.
the third bike that I usually ride is my 919, not a GS but a fine bike none the less.
