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.

Looking forward to watching the build. What's the plan for the bike? Restore, customize, etc?
Great bike. Looks like an '82. Lots of potential there.

Nice! And yeah the 650's and 750's always seem to be around... but I'm leaning towards an 83 or later 1100 at the moment but that all depends on what happens. As I said I'm a while away from that

well we have compression
Comp test done as is with old oil 145 - 145 - 150 - 135 psi from left to right
waiting on carbies and clutch basket to arrive to be installed so i can see if she wants to run.
then its time to strip her down and start cleaning and modifying

Hahah bloody typical!
Those figures look pretty good for an engine that's been sitting... should be good once you get some life in there!
