    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.

Hi GSR
Ive kown about this bike since it was Mint Condition about 17years ago in a freinds basement.The bike was his fathers and he never rode it(Hint the 2000 miles on Clock),to make a long story short,The son tried to get the bike running pushed it outside took the carbs off and left it under a tree,right before he winded up in the clink for MANY years.I ran into his father about 2 weeks ago and he tells me about his bike.I flash $200 and go drag it out of his yard.What should I do GSR?I pulled about 4 gal of Water/Oil mix from the case and the engine wont turn....Hmmmm

Pull the plugs & spray PB Blaster in each cylinder & let it sit in there for a couple of days. Then try turning the motor in BOTH directions to break it free. With that much water in the motor I would just take it out & do a COMPLETE disassembly. Ray.
