    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.

Got my GS 1100E last August.

Still working the bike.

Still can't ride the frickin' thing.

The end.


:-) It was a short story...but to the point..wouldn'tcha say?
 
OH! that's a short story for sure! But keep at it and I bet you will end up with a happy ending!

Rudy, I know about how you feel. I picked up my bike back in Dec. paid it off (I'm buying it from my landlord) in April and just yesterday he finally admitted that he can't find the title to it. So now he has to file for a duplicate title and the DMV here in NC makes you wait 15 business days after they get the paperwork before they will issue a new title. So it looks like it will be the end of July or first part of Aug. before I can get the title. (NC DMV won't issue plates without a title.) It's a b!#ch having the bike sitting without being able to ride it. Oh well might as well finish sanding and painting everything while I'm waiting.
 
My situation has more to do with the bike mechanically not wanting to ride. I got this bike from my Uncle (bless his soul!) last August. It had an electrical problem...of which I've fixed with many GSResource members help. Then I found that the carbs needed to be cleaned...now I'm having a charging problem...not to mention only 3 of 4 cylinders are firing!

The hits just keep on coming! But I know there is an end in sight. What makes this even more difficult is that I'm a novice at fixing my bike. I am learning at a fast pace, however. But I'm more determined than ever to make this bike look new...regardless of how inexperienced I am. Plus, it's been in our family for over 23 years. I kinda want to keep it that way.

I will press on! :x

I'll check back with you in a couple years. That's how long it took me to get mine ridable! :lol:

Trust me Rudi, when this is over you will consider yourself an expert! :roll:
