    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months now. Finally I had some time to take photos and work on my '78 GS550 E. So I figured it was time to introduce myself. In the offline world I go by Richard cause that's my name. I reside in the Florida panhandle. A personal trainer and LMT by trade, but motorcycles are my hobby. I hold a motorcycle technician certification, but soon realized that I wanted a hobby and not a career. The GS is not my first ride. That honor belongs to a '98 Ducati Monster 900 whom I dearly miss.
I've already gleaned so much info from the forum and various links and look forward to meeting some great people. I hope you enjoy the pics. Your insight, ideas, hacks, criticism, and ribbing are welcome.

Welcome to the site, Richard.
Look at the size of that garage! You need more bikes!
I know it is a very small thing but the cam caps protected by a cloth, when on the floor is a nice thing to see.

For now it's just parts. I'll have to post a picture of the "work" the last guy did on the carbs. It was a massacre.
