    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...

    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.

I own a 1978 xs 1100. a 77 xs 1100 and 76 xs 500 which i just purchased. my other bike s all newer. All run and are riders
 
In my ventures onto other forums I have discovered many other members from the GSR. It would seem that most of us like to get our mits on just about anything on two wheels, although I think you are right that most of us have a soft spot for the old stuff.

I give this Idea a thumbs up. Regardless of what you ride, I have come to really enjoy this community, so why not talk about the other loves in our life?

I personally own nothing from the 70's, except may be my lawn mower, which still has the original oil in it, I might add.

Well, *I* dont mind, as I have riden at least ONE bike from the big four UJMs in my time. However, seeing as this is a Suzuki board, i dunno...

However, You MIGHT enjoy checking out 8TrackMind's (Fellow GSR member) site Classic UJM. its geared toward ALL makes of 70s and 80s bikes, not just the GS. Quite a few GSR members have other makes, and quite a few of us are also on that board. Plus, there are no religulous or politiculous threads allowed on that board :) Oh...and dont go asking jetting questions either...LOL
 
Been over to UJM a few times. thanks for the advise. Just wondering what other old bikes members here might also have.Kind of like the 80's bike thread. Or is the passion mostly suzuki. Myself, i have no brand loyalty. Just like old 70's bikes

Had fun fixing this up. Paid $260. for the bike back in Febuary. Has about a grand in parts. So not that great of a deal, but I enjoyed making it look good.
 
I have a 77' Honda CB750...its a cafe project that was in storage since 1982..It was given to me last year, I quickly cleaned the carbs, changed the oil and plugs and she fired on the first kick..man I love these old bikes!!

I'd eventually like to find a '78 Kawi Z1-R to restore.
 
I always wanted an Odyssey when I was a kid..how cool! Does it move along pretty good?

They have front suspension, but not the rear. Yeah, a little rough, but fun! They were given to me by a friend. They are great for my kids since the controls are on the steering and no clutch.
 
Just sold this '78 last summer....bought it in '89....
Say what you will, I had a lot of fun with that bike....
