    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.

fun night with the 80 GS550

Ran my 1980 GS550e at the track tonight. I thought I did pretty well for my first time to a track ever. The bike went 15.03 @ 87.54 mph...with my 1/8th mile in 9.50 @ 73.5mph. With some more practice and smoother shifting i think i can be in the 14's pretty easily. Let me know what y'all think~


(background on bike, just got it this summer, been sitting outside for 2+ years, hadn't been street ridden in over 14 years. )
 
Sounds about right. I ran across a magazine test of a 78 550 a while back. Their quarter mile times were low 14s, don't remember the exact numbers. Of course that was with a new bike and a professional rider.
