    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.

Hi there,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jeff, I'm 47, been riding since I was 18 and happily just bought a beautiful, perfectly running (bought it from a bike mechanic who had redone the bike for himself) 1979 GS 850 slightly modified (aesthetics) who purrs like a well balanced and properly tuned-up Suzuki! Literally, just plugged in the battery and the bike was running, and that was at 1 degree Celsius! can't wait till spring!

I'm from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Winter has finally arrived here, so I guess I'll be looking at the bike sitting on the patio for the next few months :(

Here's a few pics of my new ride!

Hi Jeff and welcome.
Nice clean looking machine. Many happy miles and safe arrivals.
In case you haven't found it yet http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
We don't have winter in Ireland but I am sure some here will have good advice about protecting the bike from the elements and fuel deterioration and what you could do to hit the ground running in the spring.
 
Welcome, new to the site myself. The other members are very helpful regarding anything about your bike.
 
Nice looking ride Jeff. I really like what the PO did to the front and rear fenders. I am sure you will enjoy your new ride come spring and welcome to GSR.
 
Hey Guys,

Thanks for the info, the bike cliff is brilliant! thanks for the link. I'm gonna be making some aesthetic changes to the bike to give it a racer style. With that, I'll have 2 bike styles for the same machine! Spring is gonna take forever!
 
Welcome, and nice lookin bike! I kinda dig that rear fender, what's it from?
