    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.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Someone here has said "Your never to old to have a happy childhood"
I'm just a wrinkled up kid!
Fred
 
Good deal it still has the rear foot pegs. Your girlfriend will really enjoy the "ride".
 
Awesome Fred!!:D
Btw...were those flames on the bike when you bought it or after you took it for a "test" ride?? Lol...
 
Nice looking bike Fred! I've always liked those and was looking for one when I bought my GS450.

Met this fellow last year while riding the ferry back from our lunch spot in your neighborhood. Friendly Irishmen.
 
Had one too. Called it the 2 mile nuts number the vibrations. literally made them tingle after a little riding. Guys love them for doing choppers out of. You were wise to go with the GS.
 
Thanks guys! Will be married 43 years this week ,, doubt I'll get her on the back of this thing!,, lol
Trev, it hasn't been ridden in 3 years,,, the flames were there but I did ride it,, 2 kms no insurance!
Hey Charlie, looks like that guy really does have crash bars!
Chuck,, good vibrations?
Really bought it to sell it to pay for my GS insurance next year
Fred
 
Dont know about "good" vibrations, but they do have a way of shaking. The bobber and chopper guys also like them because the engines looks remind them of the Nortons.

Yes it is quite nice, 19000 k on the clock, looks like it might be close to correct.
I can really appreciate the what the guys are doing to these bikes but that really isn't me.
I like to ride Far-n-Fast and take everything but the kitchen sink with me,,, plus I'll wrench them to make'em run but
not much into choppin or bobbin.
Fred
 
Hey Fred, thought you might enjoy seeing this little beauty that was parked a pub Glenn and I had lunch at the other day. :)
