    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.

This is my first time joining any kind of online forum. I acquired my first Suzuki about a year ago. Its a 1982 gs1100e, red, with about 20k miles. It's the first road bike that I've ever really ridden more than around the block. I've been teaching myself as I go as far as fixing this or that. I absolutely love this old beast. Any kind of advice or stories and pictures of projects (finished or in the making) would be awesome to see. Thanks for having me. Looking forward to learning as much as I can from the more experienced Suzuki enthusiasts here on the gs resources.
 
Welcome to the site. Spend a few days, or weeks, or months perusing the site, there's all kind of eye candy on here, stock and mods. One rule of thumb for a new member is you must post pictures! ;) we don't care if they're dirty or shinny we like them pictures.

For some reason I read that last bit as "Dirty or Skinny". Welcome! Motorcycle pictures are good :oops:. I have bad eye sight.

Welcome to the site! I'm sure Basscliff will be around shortly to give you the mega welcome :).
 
Welcome to the site.
Just my opinion but learning to ride a bike as big and powerful as a GS1100 should be done at a MSF course.
We want you to enjoy riding your bike for a long time.

First Time Big Bike

Welcome and yes, that is a bit of a stretch to start on that bike. These vintage conveyances are heavy but somewhat nimble once you get rollin'.

MSF for sure and practice all the avoidance maneuvers, figure eights, going over bumps/wet pavement, zig-zagging, emergency braking. Simple stuff but you must have this ingrained so it becomes a habit reaction.

EDIT: Also learn about target fixation and counter-steering. Wear your gear too.
