    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 there
Just bought a 1980 gs 450 l a couple weeks ago and came across this site as the place to go for questions about my bike. This is my first motorcycle. I grew up working and riding on dirt bikes and when I saw this bike I had to have it. Everyday I would walk by it on my way to the park as it was strapped to a tree with a for sale sign on it. My 2 year old son would get all excited about it so I finally caved and bought it. The bike only had 6000 miles on it and the last time it had been registered was in 1985. It was in real good condition and the story on it was that the owner bought it in 1980 and a couple years later his wife died so he stopped riding it and it sat in his garage ever since. It still has the original everything on it and the guy wanted 200 for it. I've been going through everything I could think of on it and should have it going here within the next couple months. You guys have a real good quality website and will definitely be using it on my way to getting this bike going.
 
Welcome to the site.
Having not been on the road for 30 years pretty well EVERYTHING will need to be checked but for a $200.00 starting point, check away.
Keep your son involved, an allied force could be important when the bike receipts start adding up.
Where are the pics?
