    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.

Hey all!

I have enjoyed the many many years interacting with everyone on this board and I am saddened that life has made bike building, riding and sharing a thing of the past. I have dizziness that comes and goes from time to time but getting busy in the garage over and under bikes really scrambles my brains. They call it a form of Miniere's disease which is an issue with the inner ear I guess.

This has been my favorite place to post going back almost 20 years now. It is a testament to Frank and all of you that it is still going strong.

I was really hoping to finish that turbo EFI I planned to build on here but, life happens I guess. Someone once said to... "How do you make God chuckle". I said how, he said, "tell him your plans" LOL.

Be Well!!
 
I'm so sad to hear this news. I hope you stick around even if you do not complete the turbo EFI.
 
I worked with a guy who came down with miniere's disease a few yrs. back, it messed up his balance. He raced stock cars at local tracks. He no longer races, but still talks about it a lot, still has the knowledge, & still getting along just fine. Even if can't do the things you've been doing, no need to go, just hang around, we may need to pick your brain about something. How could we use you if you are gone.... Best to you either way.
 
Thank you Mr Katman for your many years of GSRs service. Even though you may not be in the saddle you need to stick around here and share your vast Suzuki knowledge.
 
Sorry to hear this and best wishes for the future. Am I mistaken, or you get into photography when you stopped riding a few years ago?
 
Katman, I don't recall if we've ever had occasion to interact on the forum, but I'm sorry to read what you're going through none the less. Please, stick around. Without you and rest of the OGs here, the forum would not be as great as it is.
 
We don't know each other. I am new here. I have really bad Migraines from a neck injury, and do experience dizziness, but not in a way that impedes anything I do. I developed severe Tinnitus, the doctor thinks it's the Vegus Nerve, which is the only nerve that passes through a muscle, and that muscle in my neck is atrophying. I also have a severely injured upper, mid and lower Spinal Cord, and I can't ride as much as I would like to. I join forums to help out the present, and next generation of bikers, as we did not have this means of helping each other "back in the day". Your knowledge can be so helpful to people. Sometimes, looking at a screen overwhelms my senses, and I have to stop. I guess what I am trying to write, as you seem well respected around here, please don't leave completely. :)
 
Oh no, Rob, it's come back? I'm very sorry to hear this as I had high hopes of you enjoying more years on-board the orange Katana when I returned it to you. :apologetic:
 
Sorry to hear that Rob, hope you find another hobby that will give you a Big Smile !

PS The black GS cases I got from you years and years ago are still going strong.

Take care.
 
Thanks for all the information you provided members over the years. I sure learned alot and used your builds as inspiration for my projects.
 
Are prayers are with you Brother. Your page is posted to my favorites ,on my notes , and by this juncture to my memory. It is indeed a treasure trove of informational knowledge that we have all embraced thruout our Bike building years. Such insight is only gleaned thru experience , trial and error and then ultimate success. You nailed it my friend. And yes ….. God chuckles from time to time , but always with us. :)
