    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.

Hello everyone, just picked it up, 600.00$usd! It's my first motorcycle and I'm gonna learn on it! I have maybe 20 minutes of riding experience before I hopped on my GS, felt pretty comfy riding it up and down my street. It's an awesome bike. Going to motorcycle safety class some time soon when I get home from work trip. I'm here to learn and find out everything I can. I live in Anchorage Alaska and fix airplanes. Glad to have found this forum seems like it will be a great resource!
I don't know much about my bike yet as I've owned it for about a week. I heard from previous owner he's been running AMSOIL 10w40 synthetic and the owner before that jetted the carbs, but so far it's been running really well after sitting un-ridden in a garage for the last 2 years, the speedo reads a little over 20k miles and it's got a rear sprocket that adds top end speed. That's about all I know!

Welcome to the Forum. That is a pretty nice looking ride for $600.
 
Thanks guys, took it out for a spin around the neighborhoods near my house, brought it up to 55 on one of the main streets rides like a dream. Can't stop thinking about riding it again, this work trip is lasting too long!
 
Welcome!

My good friend MrBill has the same year bike as yours! Very nice price for an operational bike.

I know the feeling about riding it at 55. Of course, you can go faster but moving at that speed on a bike like this is simply awesome!

Please let us know how you progress.

The speed limit was 45 and I'm not about to get pulled over on it without that M on my license 😂 I've already had people come up to me and look at and compliment the bike as I was driving it home with it in the back of my truck. Been looking for bikes where I work in California and can't find anything near as good a deal as I found on this bike.
