    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.

Welcome to the site, Lamda.
Love seeing bikes in the house.
Cross country on Speed Triple? You kids today. haha.
 
Actually the Triumph was quite comfortable. Trip of lasted 16 days and I only had a pack back to carry. Nothing too fancy.. I learned to pack light!

Bike in the house is a must in the winter :) Need to protect them from the cold weather. Fiancee is expecting it now and when she got a bike, she requested to bring her's in too... ;)
 
Welcome and that your 550T looks to be in good shape. Recommendation when you do the carbs make sure you change the O rings - forum member sells a perfect package for them www.cycleorings.com/#BS_Series_O-ring_Kit . My brother in Ontario was looking for that exact same bike - bit hard to come by. I've restored two - great retro ride!
 
Welcome to GSR, Lamda. Glad to see some common sense prevails and you have bikes indoors as there is a LOT of ice out there today....and ice pellets are still falling.
