    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.

Hello to all fine folks on this site!
I am sooooo glad I find this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am new to bikes again....after nearly 42 years. My ride back then was Puch 250 GS, and also
Puch 175Roller (scooter) and a little
Lohner Sissy made by Sachs, a interesting little racer when head shaved and ether fueled, talking 1960's......
then came this long pause, got married and all that.
Fast forward to now where I aquired 1968 Honda Dream 305,
1974 Kawasaki GT3R which I managed to save from slow decay in local orchard and it now runs like scolded cat....

Kawasaki F7 that still needs a piston and rings along with rotary valve and then its back on the rubber and finaly

1978 Suzuki 750GS, now this one is a project if you have ever seen one. I will post pictures as soon as I figure it out how.. on side note: I like this one the most
this is one heavy bike for old foggy like me jezzzzzzzz! Will need a lot of advice from knowledgeable members (no not lifting it:))
 
I think I just puched in my mouth a little. ;)
To post pictures get a photobucket account.
Welcome and I hope you get the help you need.
 
Hello and welcome. Im still new here myself. There are a great bunch of people here. :D Enjoy!!

No, it would be "pooked"

And, Suzie'sfriend, don't worry about all this silliness. Many members here appear to lurk over their keyboards, waiting to foist their weird sense of humor on the unsuspecting.

Those members are more fun in person,especially with a beer in hand

Howzabout posting up some Puch pics?
 
The Puch 250GS must be a pretty rare bike by now I would have thought. A real oddity when it came out if I remember correctly, 'cos of its radical twin piston / single cylinder set up. My dad's mate has an old (1920s)Trojan car which has a similar design engine.

Found a diagram of a split single for those who haven't come across them before:

Welcome to the GSR.

Yes, you found a good place. Post any mechanical or elctrical question about the GS750 here in the tech section. Maybe also introduce yourself in the Owners section.

Here is a link to some info on posting photos.
The first thing you need to know is that have to have the photos on some other website such as PhotBucket or Flicker or something. This BikeCliff tutorial specifically uses PhotoBucket in its examples.

(lots of other GS related good stuff on his web site also)

Welcome back to bikes. After 42 years you say, wow.
