    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.

A couple of years ago I lived in Gilbert Arizona. I would spend a lot of time in the garage working on my GSXR and CR500Supermoto. One day one of the neighbors comes by and asked me if I might be interested in his 82GS1100. Told him I would take a look. Walked over and inside his garage under stacks of old boxes was this beautiful Rootbeer brown GS GK. Turns out it was pulled into the garage in 95 and left there. I helped him dig it out and then asked what he wanted for it. He GAVE it to me. well its been in my storage unit for a couple years now and I got a wild hair and bought a set of Carbs (The stockers were destroyed) and a pair of forks off of Ebay for $156 Total. Installed the Carbs, a new battery, and the forks. She now runs (Lots of Camchain noise) and starts pretty easily but I dont believe the charging system is good. Thats next. This old Girl needs lots of TLC but should be a fun runner.
 
Someone gave me my 850 as well. Turned into a lot of work, but its been fun. You have nice bike there it sounds like, hope it ends up running well for you.
 
"free" Bikes are great aren't they? I have about $2,000 into my free 650, and I'm not quite done, yet.

LMAO. Precisely. Mine will STILL be a rat plus. I laugh every time I think about it.
