    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.

GS Sightings

We've experienced a peculiar phenomenon in that when we bought a Toyota Camry, we automatically noticed how many Camrys are on the road. Same with other vehicles, it just makes you more aware of how many are out there. Not the case with these bikes though. I'm always looking for GS's, there's just not that many on the road.
 
Seems the GS's I see are just barely surviving. Here's another outside the store again.



This had a funky aftermarket choke cable, no turn signal switch, and a few missing shiny parts.





The tag on the frame said 1982 and Im guessing an 1100 E ?? Could definitely use new tires, ugh I can't imagine riding with them this far gone.

Would be interesting to see how well it runs, with the pod filters and cracked up intake boots.

1100GL Indiana Scott

1100GL Indiana Scott

Hum... no updates in 2 months.

On Justin's & I's way to Brown COunty Thursday, I dont recall where, maybe somewhere betwen Plymoth and Lafeyette, was about to leave gas station when this guy pulls in on 1100GL.
Justin kinda snickered as he was predicting I would walk over and talk to the the guy. ANy, yep, I did.

THis is Scott.
He said he was on the forum a lot the first couple years he got the bike (1999?).... "I about lived on there" he said "...and the was this guy Frank that helped me with carburators and valves, and starter and other things"... "now is running so good, I just ride it, change oil and check valves..."

Said he was gonna take a day and half to get to Kentucky. I said he go byw way of Bedord, or even join with us... but he said had plans to meet up with other family for the night.

I did nt think to ask if he remebered his username.

I was northbound on mine about 6pm Sunday, and some guy was southbound on his, and in the fraction of a second we passed I could see SUZUKI on his tank. Silver not original paint, mighta been an 850. But it was in Guyandotte, WV, about 7 miles from my home, and the guy was not wearing much for gear, so I figure he's local.
 
A very nice 78 or 79 750 (I think) pulled alongside me today along Shore Drive in the old Ocean View area along the lower Chesapeake Bay this afternoon. I was on my 850. We gave each other a thumbs up, then he turned off into a neighborhood. First GS I've seen around here in a couple of years.
 
Wow, no reported GS sightings for a little bit there.

I'm attending a conference in Philadelphia, and this 650G caught my eye yesterday:

I?ve been occasionally working in Philly for about 8 months. I?ve definitely seen some interesting bikes in town crowded on the corners designated for cycle parking. No GSs yet though.

Bought this a month ago. 1981 GS1000G. Now in pieces undergoing a full restoration.
Gave myself a two yeartime limit

So you not only had it in sight to make a "GS sighting", you have it in your possession.

Looks fairly stock. Different bars and custom exhaust, but looks like all stock paint and such.

Hey, Mr Scott Cowboy, want a 3rd 550?
