    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.

First member from Malta?

I might just be the first member from Malta. That's the little island just south of Italy. Joined in March; needed a little help with choke on my 1981 GS450 which I bought from the UK in November 2014. Think this site is amazing; so many people willing to help so quickly! Thanks to everyone who contributes.

Nice one,ssco156! Thanks for posting a good picture! I like the chrome fender....the whole bike looks very well kept and as good or better than new!
 
Hey ssco! I'm not from the USA but my grandparents were born in Malta! That's a great looking bike.
 
Clean good looking bike.
I see you have Hagon shocks, because I just ordered a pair for my 1100G.
No long journeys possible on that island, but that bike would be easy to handle on ferry crossings to a lot of other places.
 
Thanks!

Thanks!

Nice 450, what's up with the choke?

Many thanks for your comment; nothing wrong with the choke just that I just didn't think that you had to pull it out to activate it. All the photos I saw on the web had a lever arrangement.
 
Thanks! I bought the bike with the Hagons on it. They seem to do a reasonable job seeing the state of some our roads over here!
 
Many thanks for your comment! Interesting to hear that your grandparents are Maltese. I've heard that there are more people of Maltese origin living outside Malta than there are here.
 
The bike was originally in the USA and then spent some years in the UK before I bought it (with the chrome fender). I didn't realise that the original fender was not chrome. Thanks for your comment about the bike!
